Drinks After Work with Shannon Tipton and Deborah Harris: The Broken State of Recruiting
Grab a glass, fill it up, and settle in — it’s time for another round of Drinks After Work! This time, we’re talking all about:
How the recruiting process got so broken
Why AI might actually be able to fix what’s wrong
The hidden frustrations of cover letters, ATS filters, and job scams
Real talk about bias, fairness, and the exhausting hunt for “culture fit”
In this episode, Shannon and Deborah break down the chaotic world of modern hiring — from the absurd hoops candidates jump through to the shady practices that keep the best people out. They dig into Shannon’s LinkedIn post, the Fast Company article that sparked this debate, and the hope that AI might finally bring objectivity (and humanity) back into recruiting.
So pour a drink and get ready to:
Learn how AI could make job matching more human (ironically)
Hear firsthand stories of recruitment gone wrong
Get practical, real-world tips to navigate broken hiring systems
Discover tools to help your resume stand out without gaming the system
Because it wouldn’t be Drinks After Work without the drinks, here are the FAB picks:
Deborah: Lemon Vodka Spritz — with a splash of coconut and some good energy.
Shannon: Classic Mimosa — because even recruiting rants deserve a little sparkle.
