In this episode of C Suite Secrets, host Heather Parsons sits down with Matt Schalsey, founder of Perfect Hire, to break down what is actually broken in recruiting and how founders can rethink hiring, headcount strategy, and ROI.

Matt shares his journey from entrepreneurial kid selling pencils to HR tech founder building a next generation applicant tracking system. The conversation dives into why recruiting has historically been treated as a cost center, how AI should actually function in HR, and what founders get wrong about culture, hiring, and talent planning.

This is a tactical discussion for operators who want clarity, efficiency, and measurable impact from every hire.
