Summary

Live from TA Week, hosts Adam Posner and Brian Fink, along with Mike Peditto dive into a high-stakes week for the talent industry. We kick things off with a massive headline: AI giant Eightfold AI is facing a lawsuit alleging violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The suit claims their "black box" algorithms act as unlicensed consumer reporting agencies, scoring job seekers without their consent or a path to dispute inaccuracies. Is this the legal precedent that finally forces transparency into AI hiring?Later, we are joined by two industry powerhouses to rethink the recruiting workflow. Tracey Parsons (Flockity) breaks down why "Post and Pray" is officially dead and how to turn employees into influencers to drive internal mobility. Then, Conor Kline (Pin.com) joins us to explain the "Revenue-First" recruiting desk, teaching recruiters how to operate like elite SaaS sales pros and transition from simple lead-gen to true value generation.
