Healthcare TA has hit "Signal Collapse": AI writes the resumes, candidates game the keywords, and traditional filters are blind to who will actually stay. When turnover is a revolving door, your tech stack is failing to see the human potential right in front of it. Join Arena's Michael Rosenbaum, alongside RogueHire's Matt Rimer and Ryan Affolter, for a LIVE TA in the Trenches episode. We are moving beyond the "gut feel" guessing game to reveal how predictive talent intelligence bridges the gap between a filled seat and a flourishing workforce. What you'll learn:

• Identify raw potential as "Signal Collapse" makes titles and degrees obsolete.
• Replace gut-feel with outcome data to predict performance and tenure.
• "Filter in" high-probability talent that legacy automation and bias overlooks.
• Prioritize predictive potential signals over historical constraints.
• Stabilize retention by matching intent to statistically successful environments.
• Shift from simple automation to measurable, outcome-based workforce stability.
• Use benchmark data to pivot TA from a cost center to a stability driver.

Tune in to hear about predictive talent intelligence and predictive, data-driven workforce stability.

Healthcare hiring is under pressure to move faster, but fraud is evolving just as quickly. Licenses are fabricated. Employment histories are manufactured. These aren't just administrative bottlenecks—they are fundamental failures in the chain of trust threatening compliance, workforce stability, and patient safety.

Join Amber Chardavoyne of InCheck, alongside RogueHire's Matt Rimer and Ryan Affolter, for a LIVE TA in the Trenches episode to extract key insights from RogueHire Base Camp ’26 and outline what a defensible, healthcare-specific screening strategy should look like in 2026 and beyond. You’ll learn:

• Extract the critical takeaways from RogueHire Base Camp '26
• Audit the "Automation Gap" to ensure your screening process isn't just fast but also accurate and thorough enough to prevent costly post-hire compliance fallout.
• Harness “Personalized Workflows" that adapt to specific healthcare role requirements rather than using a risky "one-size-fits-all" filter.
• Leverage a “Systems" mindset to ensure your screening integration is actually solving problems, not just creating new data silos in your ATS.

Tune in to design a screening process built for precision, accountability, and scale— ensuring your data works as hard as your team does.

Wasted recruitment marketing spend isn't just a budget problem; it's a sign that a health system's candidate data, job distribution, and hiring funnel are all working against each other.

In this episode of TA in the Trenches, RogueHire co-founder and COO Matt and RogueHire's Digital and Recruiting Innovator Ryan Affolter sit down with Kshitij "KJ" Jain, founder of Jovio, to unpack why up to 40% of job advertising spend targets roles that don't actually need it, and why 70% of candidates apply to the wrong job in the first place. The conversation explores how intelligent job distribution, leading indicators like shortlist quality, and cookieless tracking can close the gap between marketing spend and real hiring outcomes, plus why the shift from SEO to AI-driven answer engines (AEO/GEO) is already changing how candidates find jobs, and where AI belongs — and doesn't — in healthcare hiring decisions.

For healthcare TA leaders trying to stretch limited budgets while keeping pace with AI-driven applicant volume, this episode makes the case that smarter spend, and safer AI adoption, both start with clean ATS data.

A rare COVID-19 complication in 2020 left Jenny Cotie Kangas (JCK) with total memory loss, and healthcare talent acquisition is better for it. In this episode of TA in the Trenches, RogueHire co-founder and COO Matt Rimer sits down with JCK, VP of Innovation at GBS Worldwide and a TA Tech 100 honoree, along with RogueHire's Digital and Recruiting Innovator, Ryan Affolter, to unpack how losing her "design bias" gave her a sharper, more data-driven way to diagnose what's actually broken in healthcare hiring.

The conversation digs into why so many TA leaders chase vanity metrics like application volume instead of the signals that actually predict outcomes, such as quality of slate, candidate drop-off, and the true cost of inaction, and how JCK's mantra to "collect the dots to connect the dots" helps teams separate real signal from noise. You'll hear why AI should be treated as a thought partner rather than an answer machine, how feeding it multiple leadership "personas" can sharpen a boardroom pitch, and why her upcoming book, Step Zero, argues that mapping your process has to come before you turn on any algorithm, because AI doesn't fix broken workflows, it scales them.

For healthcare HR and talent acquisition leaders trying to trade gut-feel decisions for a data-grounded operation, this episode offers a practical framework for spotting design bias, choosing metrics that actually matter, and giving AI the context it needs before asking it to help solve your hardest hiring problems.

A broken candidate experience is costing healthcare employers talent long before they see it in their vacancy reports, and Doug Berg thinks the fix starts with how we use data. In this episode of TA in the Trenches, RogueHire COO and Co-Founder Matt sits down with talent tech pioneer and Match2 founder, Doug Berg, along with RogueHire’s Digital and Recruiting Innovator, Ryan Affolter, to unpack what it really takes to move from reactive, triage-style hiring to a proactive, always-on talent intelligence model.

The conversation digs into why today’s apply-and-goodbye workflows, especially in systems like Workday, create a fragmented, consumer-grade-in-reverse journey for candidates, and how “candidate EHR” style profiles, continuous engagement, and predictive “Fitbit-like” market signals can turn a static career site into a scalable sourcing engine. You’ll hear how Doug’s decades of building recruitment tech categories inform a new approach to talent communities, why “apply” should never be the only button on your career site, and what a truly data-connected culture looks like when TA, marketing, and leadership are working from the same source of truth.

For healthcare HR and talent acquisition leaders trying to heal the candidate experience while filling critical roles faster, this episode offers a practical playbook for using data, automation, and smarter engagement to waste fewer applicants, reduce friction, and keep high-intent candidates in your orbit instead of losing them to the black hole of legacy systems.
