In this episode of The Alder Hour, hosts Matt Alder and Rhona Barnett-Pierce dive into the intersection of technology, talent, and transformation. Their featured guest, Dr. Ali Raza, joins to share how his decade as a Professor of AI and Computing at RIT Dubai inspired the launch of byteSpark.ai — a platform designed to fix what’s broken in traditional recruitment. Together, they unpack the controversial claim that “people who apply online are losers,” and debate whether AI is truly replacing humans in the world of hiring or just reshaping the process for the better.

Then in Talk Nerdy with iCIMS, Trent Cotton and Evelyn McMullen return to break down the latest iCIMS research showing a surprising disconnect between C-Suite leaders and talent teams when it comes to the strategic value of recruitment. Their insights challenge the status quo and spark a lively conversation about the evolving role of talent acquisition in driving business success.
