10x Recruiting

In this episode, Nolan and Siadhal give their take on three spicy conversations shaping recruiting today:
  • The Eightfold lawsuit—and why AI-assisted application review actually increases fairness
  •  Drama between former OpenAI execs and what it says about relationships at work
  •  What people get wrong about exec backchanneling

Key takeaways:
  • Most resumes aren’t reviewed at all. AI makes “invisible” candidates visible.
  • Audit trails > gut instinct. You can’t fix bias you can’t see.
  • Backchannels should inform decisions, not replace them.
  • The best recruiters and hiring managers pressure-test references instead of hiding from friction.
