Talent Acquisition In The Trenches

In this live-recorded episode of TA in the Trenches, host Matt leads a fireside chat on how data and AI are reshaping talent acquisition. He’s joined by Jordan Patterson, VP of Product at Employ, who brings deep expertise in HR tech and product strategy; Theresa Mazzaro, Recruiting Manager at Fairfax Radiology Centers and past President of NAHCR, with more than 30 years of clinical and TA leadership experience; and co-host Ryan Affolter, a member of the RogueHire team and a veteran in recruitment marketing and digital strategy.

Together we explore how AI is transforming sourcing, screening, and hiring, and why the future depends on using these tools for decision readiness, not decision replacement. The conversation digs into candidate experience, the role of governance in building trust, and the key metrics that matter most when running elite TA operations. With insights from healthcare and HR tech leaders, the episode blends forward-looking possibilities with the human side of recruiting that can’t be automated.
