Curtis sits down with Offerday AI founder Robert Ashjian to explore how his nonlinear career—from landscaping entrepreneur to biochemist, military service, and operational excellence leader—shaped his mission to reinvent hiring. Robert shares how overwhelming applicant volume, slow processes, and subjective evaluation leave great talent unseen and how technology can help recruiting teams find the best, not simply the first, candidates who apply. They discuss the future of hiring in an AI-accelerated world, the importance of removing unconscious bias, and why HR leaders must “do technology with people, not to them” if they want change to stick.
