Hiring is getting faster, noisier, and harder to evaluate. In this episode Chris talks with James Terry, Head of US Revenue at Indeed Flex, about how AI is reshaping recruiting from application screening to workforce planning. James explains why rising application volume is pushing employers toward AI interviews, how human review still fits into the process, and where AI can help recruiters evaluate candidate skills at a scale traditional hiring workflows cannot handle.

They also explore how AI can move HR beyond administrative work by connecting workforce, operations, and performance data, plus how James uses tools including Gemini and NotebookLM to accelerate proposals and decision support. The conversation ultimately shifts from replacing jobs to redesigning roles, building stronger AI fluency, and giving teams access to the data that makes AI genuinely useful. Listen for a practical look at what AI adoption becomes when leaders move beyond experimentation and apply it to real operating problems.
