In the latest episode of the DE Talk Podcast, host Shannon Offord sits down with Brad Boggs, founder of JobFlow, to discuss one of the most pressing topics in talent acquisition today: how to navigate the noise created by AI implementation in the recruitment process.
With over 20 years in recruitment technology, Boggs has seen the industry shift from simple job boards to easy apply systems that often bury recruiters in thousands of generic applications. In this conversation, he shares how he’s using “powerfully simple” AI to fix the process for both job seekers and talent acquisition teams.

- The “Noise” Problem for Employers: Recruiters are often hesitant to use AI for hiring decisions, yet they remain overwhelmed by manual screening. Boggs explains how AI can be used to source an ideal shortlist, saving weeks of TA work.
- Empowering the Workforce Staff: Rather than replacing the human element, Boggs explains how AI can augment career coaches and workforce development boards, allowing them to help ten times as many people.
