In this episode, Yatin Vij and Adil Gwiazdowski, cofounders of shortlistd.io, join Margot Bletterie to unpack why hiring feels increasingly broken for both recruiters and job seekers.

Drawing on their experience in recruitment and people management, they explain how AI is currently being used in hiring and where it genuinely helps versus where it creates new problems.

The conversation focuses on real hiring pain points, candidate experience, and what a more fair and human recruitment process could look like.

What you’ll learn

• Why recruiters spend most of their time on admin work instead of speaking with candidates

• How AI-driven applications and CVs have increased noise rather than reduced it

• Why keyword-based screening often fails to identify the right candidates

• How conversational approaches can make candidate evaluation more reliable

• How AI can support recruiters without removing human judgment

• Practical advice for job seekers navigating AI-driven hiring systems
