23 Jul 2025
Joseph Burns built the perfect AI recruiter. Then he did something radical. He shut it down. This isn’t a TED Talk about tech utopia. It’s a wake-up call for every executive in career transition who’s been ghosted by a bot, sidelined by bias, or fed the myth that “applying online” is a strategy. Joseph is a former Facebook product leader turned founder who speaks five languages. including the most misunderstood one in hiring: AI. In this episode, Joseph breaks down: What elite execs are doing instead of clicking “apply now” Why automating human connection is sabotaging your hiring How Joseph would run a job search like a GTM strategy, not a résumé refresh How companies are saving time and losing top talent with AI interviews The irreplaceable nuance of intuition, emotion, and storytelling in interviews Joseph didn’t just build the tech, he walked away from it. Because great hiring isn’t about efficiency, it’s about getting it right. Would you trust a bot to pick your spouse? No? Then don’t let it pick your team. 🎧 Listen in and rethink how you search—and how you hire.
