"There will be two types of recruiters: those who use AI, and those who don’t have jobs." 🤯

In this episode of The MedTech Talent Lab, I sit down with Noor Manji, Director of Talent Acquisition at Hearing Life, to unpack the realities of recruiting, job searching, and how AI is reshaping the hiring landscape. Noor brings over 20 years of experience across agency and corporate recruiting, and he’s got strong opinions on what works (and what’s broken) in talent acquisition today.

We cover:

✅ The truth about online applications—and why referrals win 80% of the time

✅ How top candidates bypass the black hole of job boards and command attention

✅ The biggest mistakes hiring managers make that cost them top talent

✅ Why AI won’t replace recruiters—but those who don’t adapt will get left behind

✅ What it really takes to move from recruiter to talent acquisition leader

If you're a recruiter, hiring manager, or job seeker looking for real, no-BS insights, this episode is a must-listen.
