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":"Ep51: The Club Operating Rhythm - Making The Model Outlast The Individual.","slug":"ep51-the-club-operating-rhythm-making-the-model-outlast-the-individual","published_at":"2026-03-29T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013/ep51-the-club-operating-rhythm-making-the-model-outlast-the-individual","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013","url":"https://atc.captivate.fm/episode/ep51-the-club-operating-rhythm-making-the-model-outlast-the-individual-","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/bf30fb67-2522-4456-b445-c29ffc0efa15.mp3","summary":"Join the Free Kickstart Challenge Summary This episode explores the importance of establishing a consistent and institutionalised recruitment process in football clubs.
