In this episode of The Jim Stroud Podcast, Jim sits down with Josh Hill—Head of People and co-founder of SuperHired—to explore what’s really happening at the intersection of HR and artificial intelligence. Drawing from his unconventional path from the Australian military to executive HR leadership, Josh breaks down why today’s recruitment engine is fundamentally broken, how AI is both helping and harming the process, and why “human in the loop” isn’t just a best practice—it’s a necessity.
Together, they dive into the future of hiring, including:
Why AI should augment, not replace, human decision-making
How small companies can use AI without losing their culture
Which parts of recruiting must remain human-led
Why resumes offer almost no predictive value—and what should replace them
How clearer company context creates better candidate matches
The legal and ethical traps HR leaders must navigate as AI tools proliferateWhether you're an HR executive, recruiter, or talent strategist, this conversation offers a candid, forward-thinking look at how to build more human, transparent, and effective hiring practices in an AI-driven world.
