Recruiting and job searching have never felt quite like this. In this episode of the Next at Work Podcast, Host Brendan Jeannetti sits down with Evlyn Fahey, Director of Talent Acquisition at Autodesk, to break down what's actually driving the friction on both sides of the hiring table.

In this episode:

- Why volume is the defining challenge for recruiters right now

- How AI-written resumes are making candidates look identical and what to do instead

- The case for cold outreach to hiring managers

- Where AI helps in recruiting (and where it shouldn't)

- What pay transparency means for candidates and companies

- The skills recruiters need to stay relevant

In today’s transparent, always-on workplaces, culture is no longer hidden, it’s visible, shared, and judged in real time.

In this episode, host Brendan Jeannetti sits down with Jamie Graceffa, Global Head of Learning, Development, and Culture at Quanterix, and CEO of Kind Cards, to explore why kindness has become a measurable business advantage.

They discuss how kindness shapes employee experience, strengthens collaboration, and drives retention — not as a “nice-to-have,” but as a repeatable, scalable skill organizations can intentionally build. The conversation unpacks why kindness resonates more than traditional culture language, how it shows up in everyday behaviors, and why it delivers real ROI across teams, performance, and employer brand.

The conversation also explores bias, candidate experience, and the evolving skills TA and HR leaders need as AI absorbs more executional work.

Talent acquisition is usually measured by speed, volume, and cost. Rarely by revenue.

In this episode of the Next at Work Podcast, Gabi Zanengo, Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition at Gametime, joins host Brendan Jeannetti to share how her team turned recruiting into a measurable growth channel by connecting candidate experience to brand, product, and revenue impact.

They discuss how understanding candidate motivation leads to better hiring decisions, why Gametime’s emotionally driven product shapes a more human recruiting experience, and how the TA team transformed candidate traffic into product adoption, brand growth, and real revenue.

This episode challenges traditional TA metrics and shows what’s possible when recruiting is treated as a strategic lever across brand, product, and business outcomes.
