Joseph Doyle breaks down how AI is changing recruiting and tech hiring, and what to optimize for when resumes and applications are getting noisier. You will learn how to improve candidate experience, screen for growth mindset, and design a hiring process that actually predicts performance.

Episode Description AI recruiting is moving fast, but most interview processes have not caught up. In this episode, Joseph Doyle shares what he is seeing in the market and how hiring teams can adapt without lowering the bar or burning candidates out.

We talk about building a sharper value proposition for engineers, why candidates are now asking deeper questions about your AI strategy, and how to hire for first principles and growth mindset instead of a narrow checklist. We also get into candidate experience as a competitive advantage, including how to use exercises responsibly, how to timebox take home work, and why emotional intelligence matters even more as AI increases volume.

If you are a founder, operator, or investor hiring technical talent, this is a practical look at what works now, and what is quietly costing teams great hires.

We cover: • How to use AI for efficiency without losing the human edge • What a credible value proposition looks like for engineers today • How to screen for growth mindset and first principles • How to tighten your interview process while improving candidate experience • When take home assignments help, and how to timebox them • Why EQ is a real hiring filter in high pressure environments

Who this is for: Founders, operators, and hiring leaders who want a higher signal hiring process in an AI driven talent market.
