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":"Ep49: The Definition/Selection Meeting Split - When Are Player Names Allowed In The Room?","slug":"ep49-the-definition-selection-meeting-split-when-are-player-names-allowed-in-the-room","published_at":"2026-03-14T05:03:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013/ep49-the-definition-selection-meeting-split-when-are-player-names-allowed-in-the-room","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013","url":"https://atc.captivate.fm/episode/ep49-","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/815b9f96-4a53-4cb4-bc3e-919c80d9e99c.mp3","summary":"Join the Free Kickstart Challenge Summary This episode explores the importance of structured decision-making in recruitment, the role of AI tools, and the discipline needed to ensure quality standards.
