In today’s episode, our host and founder James takes a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we've had on The Staffing RecOps Podcast and we dive into the highlights of the past quarter.

Throughout the quarter, we had the pleasure of hosting 4 amazing guests, Mason Barendrecht, Frank Gullo, Martin Allen and Michael Whitmer. A recurring theme in our conversations was automation in the recruitment landscape. Our guests, representing various recruitment firms, provided valuable insights into the different stages of their automation transformations.

As we look back on the past quarter and year, we are grateful for the knowledge shared by our guests and the support of our dedicated listeners. Thank you for being a part of The Staffing RecOps Podcast community.

In this new episode, James talked with Michael from RGF Staffing about all things AI and data related. Michael talked about leveraging AI in matching, using tools in deep learning and natural language to manage both active candidates and to match passive candidates with open job opportunities. They are utilizing boolean search strings and refining them by examining skills in their taxonomy of data, thereby honing the search with automated enhanced searches. 

They are currently experimenting with Large Language Models (LLM) on enterprise licenses instead of publicly OpenAI data models, but they don't know where this will lead yet.

The top 3 tips Michael shared with us are get your data clean, experiment and don't be afraid to fail and learn from this.

In this new episode, James talked with Martin about the significance of treating data as a valuable asset, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful consideration regarding its input and utilization, rather than merely viewing it as a byproduct of output. Martin advised that we need to start with why, why and what are we looking to achieve and very importantly how do we deliver on it.

Martin shed light on the potential insights that can be derived from leveraging the data accessible to recruitment agencies. He highlighted how harnessing this data can not only provide valuable information but also enhance the overall value we offer to our clients.
