Summary
SUMMARY In this high-energy episode of the Digital Recruiter Podcast, Clark Wilcox sits down with the ever-electric Brian Fink, Managing Partner at the WeWork Group and MC of the upcoming ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit. Known for his sourcing wizardry, bold AI workflows, and relentless optimism, Brian dives into what makes this event, and this moment in recruiting, so powerful. The episode kicks off with Brian’s enthusiasm for ERE and why this smaller, 200-person gathering beats mega-conferences for real relationship-building. He shares what he’s most excited about: agentic recruiting, ethical AI adoption, building custom search engines, and having hallway conversations with the brightest minds in the space. But this isn’t just a hype session. Brian brings insight after insight, from his "core four" recruiting values (curiosity, empathy, tenacity, mischievousness) to how recruiters should be thinking about AI legally, ethically, and tactically. Whether you're agency, corporate, or in career transition, this episode will fire you up and make you want to lean in, not back.

It's about business acumen, storytelling, and knowing when to challenge the status quo. Connect with brian on LinkedIn at ht…
