#88- From No Chair to AI Lead: Mastering the Art of Recruiting in the Age of Automation
SUMMARY
Jeremy Roberts didn't start with much, no chair, no computer, just a headset and a phone. Today, he's the Founding Customer Success Lead at Tenzo AI and a veteran voice in the recruiting world. In this energizing episode, Jeremy reconnects with Clark to unpack the evolution of recruiting from listservs and Boolean strings to AI recruiting agents and automation.
Jeremy shares his deep roots in the ERE and SourceCon community, where he once served as Editor, and where he still plays a pivotal role. He walks listeners through the tech shifts of the past 15 years, from Yahoo Pipes and people aggregators to today’s free and enterprise AI tools. But beyond the tools, he hammers home one thing: the art of recruiting hasn’t changed.
The episode dives into how recruiters can thrive in a post-automation world by focusing on what machines can’t replicate, empathy, persuasion, and relationship-building. Jeremy explains why recruiters who only know workflow but not the “why” behind it are at risk, and how conferences like ERE help professionals reconnect with the fundamentals and level up.
