In this episode of the Objective Hiring Show, Charles Link, the Chief Data and Analytics Officer for Reworld Waste, joins to discuss his approach to talent management and hiring philosophy. Charles emphasizes the importance of seeing candidates beyond typical evaluations and recognizing the intrinsic value each person brings to a team. He expands on how his life experiences, especially raising a daughter with Down syndrome, have shaped his inclusive and empathetic hiring practices. The conversation also delves into the role of AI in hiring, the risks of over-reliance on AI, and the exciting future prospects of integrating AI while preserving human values.
