## Resource

Hosts Joel Lalgee, Adam Posner, and Brian Fink dive into the intensifying intersection of federal regulation and workplace technology. The show kicks off with a look at major headlines, including tech workers’ pushback against Anthropic’s supply chain risk label and the massive Al-driven layoffs at Block. The team then welcomes Michael Smith, a veteran in federal investigations, to discuss how leadership teams can navigate the "Regulatory Life Cycle" and manage high-profile state Attorney General enforcement actions to protect their brand and corporate governance. The conversation shifts to the evolution of talent acquisition with Ophir Samson, Founder of Ezra. Drawing on his background at Uber and his expertise in applied math and magic, Ophir explains why traditional resumes are becoming "weak signals" in an AI-saturated world. He shares unique insights into how voice-AI and autonomous vehicle logic are being adapted to create more objective hiring algorithms while avoiding the "uncanny valley" of automated interactions. The episode wraps up with Jody Kaminsky in a "Talk Nerdy with iCIMS" segment and a critical look at how "job hugging" impacts long-term work outcomes. Presented by CalendarPA.com and Talent Tech PR.
