🎙️ HR Unplugged Real Talk with Ken & Co. – EP17 "Gut vs. AI: Making Better Hiring Decisions with Both" 🤖🧠💼

This week, Ken dives into the evolving world of recruiting—where instinct meets innovation. Can your gut still guide you when AI is in the mix? Should it? And how do we find the sweet spot between data, intuition, and real human insight?

With personal stories, practical stats, and one candidate who talked a bit too much, Ken breaks down how AI and gut instinct can work together—not compete—to build smarter, fairer, and more human hiring processes.

💡 What you’ll hear:

  • Why 87% of companies now use AI in hiring
  • The surprising pros and cons of AI vs. gut (scalability, bias, consistency & more)
  • When your instinct is right—and when it misleads you
  • A live example of how Ken used both gut and AI to place a candidate in the right role
  • Why data supports decisions, but humans make them stick

✨ “AI can run 24/7—but it still can’t feel your gut.”
