#95- Shally on the AI Rubric That Slashes Review Time by 86% and Why Fewer Resumes Are Better
SUMMARY
In this episode of the Digital Recruiter Podcast, Clark sits down with Shally Steckerl, known across the industry as the godfather of sourcing, for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked elements in executive hiring: how to actually make selection decisions faster, smarter, and fairer.
Shally shares his journey from transforming niche fellowship reviews to streamlining Fortune 100 hiring processes with his now-proven Side Ticket Frick framework, which cuts review time by 86%. Far from theory, this is a hands-on method built in the trenches, one that combines rubric-driven calibration, candidate segmentation, and AI-driven simulations to ensure fewer, better decisions. And yes, he’s even singing Hotel California from a wheelchair at the ERE Summit karaoke night.
But this conversation goes way beyond sourcing hacks. Shally and Clark unpack how recruiters can lead the hiring conversation by interpreting data, reading between the lines of “I need more resumes,” and creating clarity from chaos. Whether you're overwhelmed with applicant volume or trying to teach hiring managers how to choose, this episode brings sharp perspective on balancing the art and science of recruiting in the age of AI.
