Recruiting is generating more activity than ever and less connection. Candidates are using AI to produce polished applications at scale, employers are using AI to screen and reach out at scale, and the result is a level of noise that is eroding trust on both sides. More automation applied to the same processes will only make this worse. Solving it means rethinking how matching works, with depth of understanding on both sides and transparency and fairness designed in from the start. So what does that look like in practice?

My guest this week is Matt Wilson, Co-founder and CEO of Jack and Jill, whose AI agents work on both sides of the hiring market. In our conversation, Matt shares why supercharging existing processes deepens the noise problem, how transparency and independent auditing build trust in AI matching, and where human judgment remains essential.

In the interview, we discuss:

• Why job hunting is still an inefficient, luck-based process

• How AI is supercharging broken processes and creating noise on both sides of hiring

• Building trust in agentic driven processes

• Bias, fairness, and transparency

• Challenging deep-seated beliefs about how recruiting gets done

• Where human judgment remains essential in the hiring process

• How Jack and Jill manage their own hiring process

• What does agent-to-agent recruiting mean for the future of hiring?
