Hire the Outcome, Not the Resume - Desiree Goldey and Ashley King

Recorded: Live at RecFest USA, Nashville

Sponsor: RoundOne AI (roundone.ai)

Disclosure: Desiree is Head of Growth and Partnerships at RoundOne AI.

Live from RecFest Nashville, Desiree and Ashley ask what "qualified" means when AI can optimize every resume. Ashley breaks down her four-quadrant recruiter performance model and time to find, a metric nobody tracks. Desiree asks whether any CEO will actually pay to hire this way.
