Today, I'm thrilled to have Adam Jackson, Co-Founder and CEO of Braintrust, joining me. Adam is a serial entrepreneur with a proven track record of building successful tech-driven marketplaces, from local shopping networks to telemedicine to Braintrust’s talent marketplace, its core platform.
Adam and I will dive into how Braintrust's newest capability, AI Recruiter (AIR), leverages trustworthy AI to streamline recruiting and talent acquisition, ensuring your skill-based hiring is efficient, fair, and scalable.
AI interviewing is a hot topic, with some thinking it isn't human-centric to not talk to a human recruiter, but the candidate feedback speaks for itself, and if the alternative is getting ghosted and disrespected, which would you choose? If done right, I think this gives every real candidate a shot at presenting themselves beyond the resume.
Thanks for joining us, and enjoy Adam’s insights that will help you shape the future of talent and work.
