Description

From ghost applicants to automated resume farms, Gerald and Steve dig into how HR and TA leaders can fight back, with human connection at the core.
You'll hear why Steve believes traditional interviews are broken, how LaRosa's built a culture that retains top talent for decades, and why asking better questions, not checking more boxes, is the future of hiring.
If you're hiring, leading, or just tired of robotic recruitment, this one's for you.
