In this Biz to Biz podcast episode, host Allen Kopelman interviews Joseph Stettler, founder of The Celebrate Group and author of ten international best‑selling books, about the broken state of modern recruiting and how technology, especially AI, is both a problem and an opportunity. Stettler explains how current applicant‑tracking systems (ATS) inconsistently score resumes, often penalizing candidates for missing exact keywords or years of experience, leading to qualified talent being filtered out. He outlines his upcoming AI platform that evaluates both technical competencies and soft‑skill, cultural‑fit signals, allowing leaders to see who wants promotion, what development paths they prefer, and to tailor compensation beyond generic raises. The conversation moves to practical resume‑writing tactics: timing resume updates to align with ATS nightly refresh windows, focusing on quantifiable results rather than generic action verbs, and avoiding age‑revealing dates. Stettler critiques large job boards (Indeed, CareerBuilder, Monster) for overwhelming volume and shallow screening, recommending a disciplined time‑allocation strategy for job seekers—10% on job boards, 25% on LinkedIn/social media, 25% on recruiters, 25% on paid networking events, and 15% on targeted company outreach. He stresses the value of open‑ended interview questions, creative prompts (e.g., “most creative email”), and demonstrating personal “essence” rather than a list of skills. The hosts discuss virtual assistants, remote work, and the hidden costs of high turnover (up to $1.4 trillion annually in North America). Stettler highlights toxic corporate culture, unclear expectations, and lack of genuine leadership as top reasons employees dislike their jobs, urging companies to practice the culture they preach. The episode concludes with Stettler’s five‑point job‑search playbook and contact information for his social media presence.
