Recruitment is evolving fast—and if you’re not adapting, you’re getting left behind. From AI disruption to cultural shifts, this episode digs deep into how tech is reshaping the hiring game, why your story matters more than ever, and the unexpected cities making big waves in talent. In this episode we speak with industry playboy Aaron Daniels and dive into the recruitment trenches, swap stories from the field, and explore how culture, music, and perspective fuel personal and professional growth. There’s real talk, some laughs, and a sharp look at the future of hiring through the lens of AI, networking, and narrative. Key Takeaways: ➡ Recruitment is getting redefined by technology—adapt or fall behind ➡ AI is more than a buzzword—it’s the spark of the next industrial revolution ➡ Most recruiters sit somewhere between panic and progress when it comes to tech ➡ If you don’t tell your story, someone else will (and they’ll probably get it wrong) ➡ San Antonio is a sleeper city with serious community and culture ➡ Music and culture aren’t distractions—they’re fuel for better work ➡ Perspective isn’t soft—it’s your edge in personal and professional growth ➡ Conferences aren’t just about panels—they’re about who you meet at the bar ➡ Knowing local laws and culture isn’t optional—it’s how you stay relevant ➡ Continuous learning isn’t a luxury—it’s survival Timestamps: 00:00 – Who is Aaron Daniels and why is he so loved? 06:58 – Recruitment Insights and Technology Trends 11:56 – Cultural Reflections and Personal Perspectives 14:54 – Conclusion and Final Thoughts 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.
