We don’t chase novelty tools. We focus on the thinking and structure that makes any tool useful: clear role briefs, behaviours over labels, constraints and trade-offs, repeatable shortlisting, and decision review that actually improves the process. Each episode gives you something you can use: - Role Definition Templates (behaviour-based, not position labels) - Question sets that lead to better shortlists - Meeting Structures that stop recruitment becoming a persuasion contest - Simple Ways to Stress-Test Decisions (“what would make this wrong?”) - How AI Fits Safely: drafting, checking, standardising outputs — never replacing judgement If you work in recruitment, scouting, analysis, coaching, or you’re aiming to, this show is for you. Clarity First. Tools Second.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013"},"episode":{"title":"Ep41: From Question to Shortlist: A Repeatable AI-Supported Recruitment Workflow","slug":"ep41-from-question-to-shortlist-a-repeatable-ai-supported-recruitment-workflow","published_at":"2026-01-02T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013/ep41-from-question-to-shortlist-a-repeatable-ai-supported-recruitment-workflow","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013","url":"https://atc.captivate.fm/episode/ep41-","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/c820e5c1-815e-4835-a431-eba34bb6e8bd.mp3","summary":"Join the Free Kickstart Challenge Summary In this episode, David Bromley and Tom Butterfield discuss a detailed analysis of football team management and recruitment processes. They explore the significance of asking the right questions, defining roles and behaviors, and understanding constraints in player recruitment. The conversation also delves into the use of AI in recruitment, emphasizing its role as a supportive tool rather than a decision-maker. The episode concludes with a focus on the importance of a structured recruitment process to ensure effective team building. Takeaways Family gatherings provide a sense of community and support. Effective communication is key in team management. Vague questions lead to vague shortlists in recruitment. Defining roles and behaviours is crucial for recruitment success. Constraints such as budget and age must be considered in recruitment. Building a market involves defining leagues and player thresholds. Shortlisting should include rationales and questions for each candidate. AI can enhance recruitment but should not replace human judgment. A structured recruitment process is essential for consistency. Iterating and validating the recruitment process leads to better outcomes. Happy New Year Everybody!
