Jason Pistulka didn’t wait for permission—he just started solving the real problem.
As AVP of Talent Acquisition at HCA Healthcare, Jason helped scale a recruiting organization that hired hundreds of people per day and turned a fragmented HR operation into a well-oiled, data-driven machine.
In this episode, Jason talks about the bold moves he made to overhaul recruiting from the inside out—why he insisted on building his own team, how he used data to earn buy-in, and how he coached his teams to operate like high-performance business units.
We spoke to Jason in his last week at HCA Healthcare. His next move? Independent consulting. We’ll drop a link to his LinkedIn profile below.
Jason also shares:
- How he got hiring managers to prioritize candidate interviews over everything else on their calendar
- Why vendor relationships are just as much about selling as buying
- The surprising ROI of internal recruiting ops teams
