AI isn’t just another tool—it’s changing the damn rules. In this episode, we pull back the curtain with Chris Cabe from Capstone IT to talk recruiting tech, killer candidate evals, and why your resume is basically a zombie at this point. If you’re still relying on vibe checks and keyword still 2015, this is your wake-up call. In this episode we talk about recruiting, AI, candidate evaluation, staffing, hiring tools, and innovation in the recruitment process.

Most are AI-written anyway ➡ Motivation matters more than what’s on paper ➡ The recruiting process works best when visualized as a funnel ➡ Networking is now a cheat code for recruiter growth ➡ Candidates are gaming the system with AI—watch out ➡ Technical skill checks require smart, layered questions ➡ Sourcing ≠ Recruiting—don’t confuse the two ➡ Your tech stack can make or break hiring velocity ➡ Events like the Recruiting Innovation Summit offer unmatched insight and connections ➡ You’re not competing alone—recruiters need to share and learn, fast Timestamps: 00:00 - Who is Chris? 05:57 - The Impact of AI on Recruiting 11:55 - Navigating Candidate Evaluation 13:47 - Insights from the Recruiting Innovation Summit IMAGE This limited series was recorded live at the ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit from the Chatterworks booth on the expo floor.

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
