*Guest*

Vijay Reddy is the founder of HireKo.ai, an AI recruiting platform that consolidates sourcing, screening, and candidate workflows into a single end-to-end system. He started the company on the thesis that the next generation of hiring infrastructure will collapse the fragmented stack of point tools that talent teams currently stitch together, rather than add another layer to it. In July 2025, he launched HireKo's network product at network.hireko.ai, extending the platform beyond individual recruiter workflows toward shared talent intelligence across teams and companies. His work focuses on the operating systems that will define how companies hire over the next decade.

His story raises a deeper question: are our decisions driven primarily by fear and self-preservation, or by the values we say we believe in?
