AI vs. ATS: How to Decode Today's Modern Hiring Process

June 18, 2025 • Jonathan Flaks • Season 4 • Episode 41

In this episode of The Career Transition Experts podcast, we demystify the role of AI in hiring and screening processes.

Don't be overly concerned about AI screening you out; its primary function is to screen candidates in and provide richer data for human decision-makers. AI isn't currently making hiring decisions, and that trend isn't expected to change soon.

Instead, understanding how companies utilize AI can empower you to leverage it in your job search, essentially using AI to navigate the AI-driven aspects of recruitment.

Our guest, Anna Buchanan, is the co-founder and CEO of Mindfully Transform, an embedded recruiting firm transforming recruitment-as-a-service by hiring the top 1% of talent for US-based non-technical roles faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.

Mindfully Transform is building proprietary AI agents with a SWAT team of the best cybersecurity and recruitment experts. The team’s mission is to scale human expertise and EQ with technology, and to improve the hiring experience, promote fairness, and optimize efficiency.
