## Resource

In this episode of The HR Morning Show, hosts Brian Fink, Kyle Lagunas, and Trent Cotton dive into the rapidly evolving landscape of AI orchestration and recruitment branding. The team kicks things off with a special headlines-worthy announcement from Kyle & Co before welcoming Gina Alioto of Shaker Recruitment Marketing to discuss the firm's 75th anniversary and modern brand leadership. Trent and Kyle also lead a technical segment, "Talk Nerdy with iCIMS," focusing on the strategic nuances of navigating AI interviewers in today’s hiring environment. The conversation shifts to the future of talent operations with guest Tracy St.Dic, Global Head of Talent at Zapier, who outlines the implementation of a standardized "AI Fluency Bar" for hiring. Tracy explores the transition from simple automation to AI orchestration, highlighting how "agentic recruiters" can reduce bias and logistics while allowing human recruiters to focus on deeper candidate connections. The episode wraps up with a weather report from Serge and a look at the importance of cultivating T-shaped, agile talent in a shifting technical economy. Presented by Talent Tech PR and CalendarPA.
