SUMMARY What if your sourcing tools could surface candidates no one else sees? In this episode of the ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit series, Clark sits down with Ravi Tandra, founder and CEO of ProvenBase, to explore the evolution of sourcing tech, the real promise of AI, and how ProvenBase is helping recruiters discover hidden talent at scale. Ravi shares the origin story behind ProvenBase, born from the pain point all recruiters know too well: searching for apples, getting oranges. He reveals how ProvenBase’s new Deep Search functionality acts like a "Google for Talent," tapping into thousands of real-time sources and surfacing overlooked candidates that traditional platforms miss. But this isn’t just another AI tool, Ravi emphasizes the platform’s human-centered approach, built to enhance, not replace, recruiters’ judgment and connection with talent. Throughout the conversation, Ravi and Clark dive into what makes sourcing effective today: real-time data, personalization, recruiter adaptability, and the willingness to shed outdated habits. Whether you're a solo recruiter or an enterprise team, this episode is a roadmap to scaling smarter and staying ahead of the AI curve.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
