Most HR teams aren't lacking tools - they're drowning in them. Dozens of platforms claim to do the same thing. Few come with real training or help you understand what's actually happening behind the screen.

My work centers on helping recruiters and HR leaders navigate hiring technology, AI, and change with clarity, context, and fewer regrets later.

Here's how that typically shows up.

How I Help HR Teams Make Better Tech Decisions

HR TECH AND AI ADVISORY

Clear Guidance When the Pressure Is High

If you're evaluating hiring platforms or AI tools and feeling unsure about what's actually worth adopting, you're not alone. Most HR teams are being asked to move fast without the space to fully understand the tradeoffs, or even how AI actually works.

It's not just prompting ChatGPT. It's understanding what's happening behind the screen, where bias shows up, and what you're agreeing to when you click "accept."

I help teams slow the decision down without slowing progress.

I sit through demos, platform walk-throughs, and technical conversations with HR tech companies. I play with tools in sandbox environments and use many of them myself in real time while recruiting. Vendors often let me trial platforms in real environments for free - so I can see what shows up in practice that doesn't show up in a demo.

This work is about clarity, not selling.

You walk away with decisions you can explain, defend, and stand behind.

Not Another HR Talk You Forget by Monday

Let's be honest. A lot of HR talks sound polished, have been saying the same thing for years, and are given by people who haven't managed an open job in a decade.

I speak to HR teams, leadership groups, and conference attendees about hiring, recruiting, and AI as they actually exist today. The pressure. The uncertainty. The decisions no one prepares you for.

My sessions combine:
  • Real, recent, and relevant hiring experience
  • Clear thinking around AI and technology
  • Humor that keeps people engaged
  • Language that doesn't talk down to the room

If you need someone who understands HR and knows how to hold a room, we should talk.

I work with a small number of HR tech companies and industry organizations that care about credibility with hiring leaders.

Let's Talk

This isn't influencer marketing. It's selective collaboration grounded in real product familiarity and honest conversation.

If we're already in conversation, we'll talk about what makes sense.
