#HRTechChat: Navigating the 2025 Job Market with Lynn Hurley

As workforce expectations evolve and hiring challenges mount, the need for seamless, scalable recruitment strategies has never been more critical—especially in industries where speed and simplicity make or break business outcomes.

In this episode of #HRTechChat, 3Sixty Insights’ Dylan Teggart sits down with Heidi Barnett, former CEO of ApplicantPro and now President of isolved Talent Acquisition to discuss the recent merger between the two companies—and what it means for the future of talent acquisition.

Heidi brings her marketing-first mindset to HR, unpacking how ApplicantPro’s streamlined, high-conversion applicant tracking capabilities are now being scaled through isolved’s expansive HCM platform. Together, they explore the rising pressures on HR teams in SMB and mid-market companies, the realities of modern recruitment in high-turnover sectors like restaurants and healthcare, and the critical role AI and automation play in supporting overworked managers.

From applicant matching and video screening to managed recruitment services and mobile-first candidate engagement, Heidi explains how isolved and ApplicantPro are combining forces to help businesses move faster, hire smarter, and reduce operational friction—without sacrificing human connection.

What makes recruiting harder than ever in today’s labor market? How can AI actually restore humanity in the hiring process? And how can HR tech providers meet the needs of growing businesses across a fragmented talent landscape?

Tune in as Heidi shares practical insights on speed-to-hire, employee retention, and why the future of recruiting is both tech-driven and deeply human.

Welcome to AI with Shaily, your go-to source for the latest and most thought-provoking news in artificial intelligence! I’m Shailendra Kumar, here to explore how AI is transforming two major parts of our lives: job applications and healthcare — and why this transformation is causing some serious eyebrow raises. 🤖💼🏥

Imagine this scenario: David TC Davies, a seasoned former cabinet minister with tons of real-world experience, tries to land a new job. But AI recruitment tools reject him — not because he lacks skills, but because his unconventional background doesn’t fit the AI’s “standard” criteria. It’s a classic case of AI irony! Companies say they value skills over credentials, yet their AI systems seem fixated on traditional checkboxes. This leaves many talented people feeling judged by a quirky robot that forgot how to think beyond a resume. 😕📄🚫

The skepticism doesn’t stop there. Over two-thirds of companies use AI in hiring, but 62% of job seekers say they’d hesitate to apply to firms relying heavily on AI without human oversight. It begs the question: are we giving algorithms too much power to decide who’s worthy, possibly missing the human spark? 🤔👥⚖️

Healthcare is a different story but just as fascinating. AI is advancing diagnostics and treatment planning, helping doctors catch issues faster and recommend better options. Yet, patients often don’t get to question or understand how AI made decisions about their health. Transparency and accountability are the buzzwords here — and honestly, they’re long overdue. When it comes to health, can we trust a black box? 🏥🔍🖤

On social media, there’s a lively buzz where people share stories of being “ghosted” by AI systems — whether for jobs or critical healthcare decisions. The common theme? A strong call to keep humans involved to catch biases and ensure fairness. 📱💬👻

Here’s a bonus tip for job seekers: tailor your resume not just with keywords but with meaningful stories that AI might overlook. Sometimes, sharing real impact can help nudge that automated gatekeeper in your favor. ✍️📈✨

To close, let’s reflect on a thought from philosopher Herbert Simon: “What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients.” In our AI-driven world, the challenge isn’t just feeding data but making sure human attention wisely guides these machines. 🧠💡

Thanks for tuning in to AI with Shaily. Until next time, keep questioning and keep learning! 🙌📚

AI at the Crossroads: When Algorithms Decide Your Job and Health

This week, Mark and Joe follow up on the counter-offer conversation with stories and insights from listeners. Then they pull back the curtain on a hidden truth in the job market: not all job postings are real. With 39% of companies admitting to publishing fake listings in the past year, it’s more than just misleading—it’s strategic data harvesting. From collecting your email and employment history to selling your info, some postings are just bait. Learn how to spot the signs of a fake job ad and protect yourself in a marketplace where data is currency and not every opportunity is what it seems.

In this episode of The Rowbo Show, Mark and Joe kick things off with a real-world look at selling a small business—highlighting a $50,000 offer to find a buyer for a blueberry farm.
