#2 On Recruiting — Lori Golden

In this episode of The Clairnova Podcast, we sit down with Lori Golden, founder of Hire-U and a longtime talent leader who’s been on the front lines of recruiting from pre-LinkedIn hiring to hypergrowth tech and now the AI era. Lori shares hard-won insights from scaling global teams, building talent organizations through chaos, and watching recruiting shift from human judgment to metric-driven machinery. We talk about when hiring actually broke, why scale often replaced trust, how performative systems hollowed out recruiting, and what AI should, and should not, automate. A candid conversation on talent, judgment, power, and what the future of hiring actually demands. www.hire-u.co [http://www.hire-u.co/]
