In this episode of Talking TA, Denise Chaffin sits down with Jared Bruss, Enterprise Account Executive at Gem, to explore the transformation of the recruiting industry through the eyes of a sales leader. With over a decade of experience at ZipRecruiter and Gem, Jared shares unique insights into how technology—particularly AI, CRMs, and talent harvesting tools—is reshaping workflows, improving sourcing, and helping teams manage increasing demands. They discuss the evolution from inbound applications to proactive outreach, the importance of analytics that capture the full funnel, and the emerging challenge of AI-generated fraudulent resumes. Together, they map the industry's shift from transactional recruiting to strategic talent engagement.
