Today I interview Cecil Plummer, CEO of Fastr.ai, which is an AI platform that instantly transforms your existing ATS into a smarter talent engine.

With nearly two decades of recruiting leadership at Robert Half before becoming CEO at Fastr.ai, Cecil brings a wealth of experience in scaling talent operations. From Fortune 50 firms to nimble, 200-person teams, Fastr.ai’s proprietary LLM is purpose-built to supercharge talent acquisition, offering AI Matching, Talent Sourcing, Rediscovery, Profile Enrichment, and DE&I insights—all embedded directly into your ATS for rapid adoption and impact.

In today’s episode, we explore how Fastr.ai’s seamless implementation in just a few weeks delivers bias-resistant candidate ranking, rediscovery of dormant talent, and access to hundreds of millions of externally sourced profiles, without disrupting recruiter workflows or requiring costly migrations.

Whether you're part of an agency or running talent acquisition internally, we dive into how Fastr.ai delivers quick wins in efficiency, cost savings, and response time, plus how compliance and ethical design are baked into every model.
