Episode notes
Broad Mandate Failed Fast
- Gianna asked her HR team to 'figure out AI' with a very broad remit and then found crickets a month later.
- The experiment failed because the directive lacked specific, actionable steps and follow-up.
Start Small With Clear Use Cases
- Start small with specific, narrow AI use cases like job description writing to build momentum and trust.
- Use AI outputs as a starting point so recruiters can proactively bring fuller drafts to hiring managers.
Pick Repetitive Work To Free Strategic Time
- Tasks that are repetitive, time-consuming, and low-judgment are high-impact AI targets.
- Freeing HR from these tasks creates space for higher-value strategic and human work.
