Amsterdam Talk:
Make AI work across your hiring funnel
What does it take to turn AI experiments into a connected hiring workflow? In this three-part Chad & Cheese interview, VONQ CTO Bill Fischer explores specialist agents, responsible boundaries, and new ways to reach and engage candidates.
01 - AI agents
Can AI agents automate the entire recruitment process?
Bill traces the move from early AI experiments to connected agents at the top of the funnel. He explains how a job description can guide screening, interviewing, and scoring, and discusses what makes AI conversations more comfortable for candidates.
02 - Talent pools
Why recruiters keep buying candidates they already have
Why do existing talent pools go unused? Bill discusses data hygiene, the outreach bottleneck, and the potential for agents to reactivate candidates. He also explains why business agents need clear guardrails and limited access to tools.
03 - AI search
AEO is the new SEO: what recruitment marketers need to know
As candidate attention shifts toward apps and AI search, recruitment marketing needs to adapt. Bill discusses answer engine optimization (AEO), job-specific social content, and the move from buying applications to buying screened candidates.
