Summary
What if your hiring process ran like a software system — with measurable pipelines, repeatable steps, and continuous improvement loops? That's the idea behind talent engineering, and in this episode we break down the six-layer stack that serious hiring teams are building in 2026. We walk through seven platforms — from applicant tracking to interview intelligence — and show exactly how they fit together. Plus a practical budget guide for teams at every hiring volume, from under ten hires a year all the way to fifty-plus. The stat that kicks things off might surprise you: entry-level hiring at major tech companies has dropped sixty-five percent, while AI and ML engineer hiring is up thirty-nine percent since ChatGPT launched. Every hire carries more weight now — and the systems behind those decisions have to be precise. And if stitching six vendors together sounds exhausting, there's a shortcut. OVI's native AI platform collapses two stack layers into one with AI-powered sourcing and audio chat screening — starting at just twenty-nine dollars a month.
