Would you be apprehensive about adding a recruitment bot in your hiring process at the risk of losing the ‘human' factor? Our special guest, Betsy Robinson, explains how they utilize AI trends and other tech stacks to enhance their client and candidate experience.   Betsy Robinson is the Founder & CEO of Tier4 Group, a woman-owned, diversity-certified talent acquisition firm headquartered in Atlanta.    The company specializes in connecting exceptional talent with top-tier employers for technology and executive roles, combining advanced recruitment automation with a personalized approach.    Under her leadership, Tier4 Group has achieved remarkable recognition, including six consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies (2019-2024) and five appearances on the Atlanta Pacesetters list.   Episode Outline and Highlights   [03:03] Recruiting out of college - beginning of Betsy's 20-year recruitment journey. [07:05] How she ventured out alone - discussing high points and challenges. [18:31] Fostering a culture of feedback and how it elevates the quality of output. [24:19] Incorporating recruitment automation, technology, and AI. [33:35] Would you include a digital recruiter in hiring your process? [41:15] Betsy reveals their tech stack and AI trends. [47:28] The value of using note-taking AI tools. [51:52] Creating a culture of strong team collaboration.   Incorporating a Digital Recruiter in the Hiring Process   Would you consider incorporating a recruitment ‘bot' in your hiring process? A lot of recruitment business owners might be apprehensive about doing so, as it poses the risk of diminishing the ‘human touch' in the process.    On the other hand, Betsy's team is leveraging a "digital employee," specifically a digital recruiter, to enhance their hiring process. This AI-powered recruiter can call and chat with candidates, helping to screen large volumes of applicants more efficiently while maintaining a personalized experience. Unlike traditional chatbots or automated emails, this digital recruiter has a live voice and engages in real conversations, making it feel more human-like.   Some of the outlined advantages of this investment include:   Speed & Efficiency – The digital recruiter can process large volumes of candidates quickly, helping the team sift through hundreds of applicants without delays. Candidate Engagement – One of the biggest complaints in recruitment is ghosting—candidates never hearing back from employers. A digital recruiter ensures consistent communication, so candidates stay informed. 24/7 Availability – Unlike human recruiters who work business hours, the digital employee can operate around the clock, allowing candidates to engage at their convenience—whether during a lunch break or late at night.   Tech Stack and AI Trends   Betsy and I also talked about the tech stacks they are using and the recent trends in technology that recruiters can use to either improve and simplify their processes, improve candidate and client engagement, and manage performance and KPIs for their employees.   We have listed below some tools that you may already be familiar with or others you might consider exploring:    Applicant Tracking & CRM Systems Loxo – Legacy ATS/CRM system  Tracker – New ATS & CRM for front/middle office operations with better API integrations AI-Powered Communication Tools CloudCall – AI-driven text and voice communication for candidate and client interactions. Digital Recruiters (AI Recruiters) – AI-powered virtual recruiters that conduct initial screenings via calls and chats. Note-Takers & Meeting Assistants Otter.ai – AI-powered transcription and meeting summarization. Fathom – AI note-taking with advanced meeting insights. Fireflies – AI transcription, summarization, and team collaboration. Copilot (Microsoft) – AI assistant for Teams meetings and documentation. Quill – AI-driven note-taking tool specifically for recruiters. Gong – AI-powered call analysis and coaching for sales and recruiter conversations. AI-Driven Data Management & Automation VMS Integrations – Automates job order creation and updates within the ATS. AI-Powered Contact Management – Automatically updates candidate and client contact information. AI for Remote Team Collaboration & Coaching AI Call Coaching (via GPT or Gong) – Analyzes recruiter and sales calls for performance improvement. Remarkable (Digital Notepad) – Converts handwritten notes to digital format for easy CRM integration.   These tools collectively enhance efficiency, automation, and candidate engagement in recruitment businesses.   Creating a Culture of Strong Team Collaboration   Despite being tech-heavy, Betsy and her team still invest in ensuring that their connection and culture as a team is as collaborative as can be. With a team of 30, mostly working remotely, seamless collaboration and teamwork are essential.   This is how she summarizes their collaboration:  “We, I will say, first of all, we welcome all ideas. It doesn't matter if you are someone who's been on our team for one week or someone who's been on our team for one year or you've been our first employee who's been here 10 years. Everybody brings unique at different perspective perspectives. And I would say we are much more collaborative in our decision-making.”   She also added the value of transparency: “We also communicate to the best of our ability the why behind a lot of our decisions that we're making.”   Lastly, she emphasized the value of accountability: “So we're also working on a culture of, you know, pure accountability.”   The key factors are critical in Betsy's successful culture-building. Do you have similar values in terms of your business culture?   Betsy Robinson Bio and Contact Info   Betsy Robinson is the Founder & CEO of Tier4 Group.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for February 20th Publish Date: February 20th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, February 20th and Happy birthday to I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on seed oil All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Gwinnett County commissioners unanimously opted out of a new statewide floating homestead exemption tied to inflation, arguing their existing Value Offset Exemption (VOE) offers better savings. The VOE freezes taxable property values at the level when a homeowner first claimed the exemption, unlike the statewide version, which adjusts annually for inflation. County officials highlighted that the VOE has kept county taxes stable despite rising property values. The school system, which accounts for two-thirds of property tax bills, will hold hearings Thursday to decide whether to opt out as well. Residents can attend at 11 a.m. or 6 p.m. in Suwanee. STORY 2: Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Six people, including a mother and daughter, were arrested during raids on two methamphetamine operations in Gwinnett County on Feb. 12. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, working with the Gwinnett Metro Task Force and FBI Atlanta, seized 23 kilograms of methamphetamine and over $6,000 in cash from locations in Lilburn and Norcross. Charges ranged from trafficking methamphetamine to possession and obstruction of law enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office praised the collaborative efforts to enhance community safety. STORY 3: Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents The Jackson EMC Foundation awarded $99,890 in grants, with $80,000 benefiting Gwinnett County organizations. Recipients include Hebron Community Health Center and Hope Clinic for medical and mental health services, The Salvation Army for housing assistance, and Home Repairs Ministries for critical home repairs. Other grants supported virtual healthcare access, therapy for abuse survivors, and literacy promotion. Funded by the Operation Round Up program, which rounds members' electric bills to the nearest dollar, the initiative has provided over $21.5 million in community grants since 2005. Applications for grants are open to individuals and organizations in Jackson EMC’s 10-county service area. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: RINGLING BROS_FINAL STORY 4: Georgia Supreme Court raises concerns about 2019 child custody law The Georgia Supreme Court raised concerns about the 2019 Equitable Caregiver law, which allows non-legal parents to seek custody or visitation if they’ve had a parental role and bond with a child. In the case of *Dias v. Boone*, the court reversed a lower court's decision granting Abby Boone caregiver status over Michelle Dias’s child, ruling the law didn’t apply since Boone’s relationship with the child predated the law. While the justices questioned the law’s impact on parental rights, they did not strike it down, instead issuing a narrow ruling specific to this case. STORY 5: Gwinnett Technical College Names New Vice President of Economic Development Gwinnett Technical College has named Lauren Dodson as its new Vice President of Economic Development. With over 15 years of experience in sciences and education, Dodson will oversee economic development, customized training, Quick Start, and continuing education services to address workforce needs. Her background includes roles at Partnership Gwinnett, Georgia EMC, and the Technology Association of Georgia, as well as teaching science in Gwinnett County Public Schools. Gwinnett Tech President Dr. D. Glen Cannon praised her contributions to the community and technology sector, calling her a perfect fit for the role. Dodson holds advanced degrees in education and lives in Tucker with her family.

Debi Durham, the Director of the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) and the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) joins Dennis to discuss the role of a state economic development director.  Fifteen years ago, what was the state of economic development? Fast forward 15 years, and how has economic development changed? Through two main divisions – business development and community development the IEDA administers almost 50 state and federal programs to assist individuals, communities, and businesses. That is a lot of plates to spin at one time. How big is the IEDA team? As a state, does Iowa target specific sectors for projects? Every state has advantages and disadvantages. How do you work to sell the sizzle for Iowa? How competitive are projects between the states? At the local level, we are used to projects from the state, utility, or rail partners. How do projects flow to the IEDA? Let's talk about the changes in the economic development landscape for projects, starting with the rise of certified sites. Incentives are always a controversial topic. How have incentives changed during your tenure, and what are your views on incentives? What advice for frontline economic development professionals do you have when competing for projects or existing industry expansions? What do you wish every economic development professional knew about when responding to RFIs? Debi, look into your crystal ball. What do you think economic development will look like in 10 years? Debi Durham Debi Durham is a longtime economic and community development professional who serves as Director of the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) and the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA). Durham was named to the positions by Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds in January 2019. Durham was first appointed to lead IEDA in 2011, and during her eight-year tenure, has turned the agency into a successful public-private partnership, landed billion-dollar economic development projects for Iowa and worked tirelessly on expanding trade and investment opportunities for the state. She prides herself on building coalitions, supporting new ventures and strengthening the state's industries and communities. Prior to joining IEDA, Durham served as president of the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce. Her several accolades include being recognized as one of the "Most Influential Business Leaders" in the 2019 Des Moines Business Record Book of Lists and receiving the Technology Association of Iowa's "Legislative Advocacy Leader" award in 2017. Durham also was recognized by the Business Record as a "Woman of Influence" in 2016. Durham holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Marketing and Management from Missouri Southern State University. The Iowa Economic Development Authority's (IEDA) mission is to strengthen economic and community vitality by building partnerships and leveraging resources to make Iowa the choice for people and business. Through two main divisions – business development and community development – IEDA administers several state and federal programs to meet its goals of assisting individuals, communities and businesses.

Our guest this episode is Steve Boms, Founder and President at Allon Advocacy and also Executive Director of the Financial Data & Technology Association. Steve comes out of Penn State and has worked at Capital One, the International Securities Exchange, and the US House of Representatives assisting a senior member of the Financial Services Committee. We talk about regulations and government relations in financial services. Topics include: Who needs a lobbyist? How do the countries stack up against each other in terms of regulation readiness for open banking? Dodd Frank passed into law in 2010 but we're only talking about the regulations going into place at the end of 2024. Why? What are the metrics we should be looking at that will indicate we're moving toward connected finance in the right way and at the right speed? What must the consumer be reassured of when it comes to asking them to offer up their data? Why financial services is one of the first verticals being looked at for the application of data regulation. How data access will bring more competition which will bring more benefits to consumers.

He reveals how his company helps technology companies focus on customer outcomes through product management and marketing. John highlights why investing time to understand your customers, as well as your products, is preferable over simply running a process to find innovation. He shares how the shift from Waterfall to Agile development strategies has helped product managers. John also reveals the challenges design engineers face, such as not having context and a perspective when building products.   “Innovation is a result of understanding your customers better than everybody else.” - John Mansour   This week on Innovation Talks:   ●     How Proficientz helps B2B companies—primarily in the technology space—with delivering products that have more quantifiable value to the customer ●     How product management relates to innovation and why the business approach should consider what customers are trying to do, why it's important to them, and why they can't get there ●     Why innovation is a result of understanding your customers better than anyone else—including themselves ●     How to structure front-end conversations with potential customers and define the success customers will get with your solution before you build them ●     The differences between the product manager and product owner roles and why they should not be combined into one role ●     What will drive companies in the B2B space to become more customer-focused   Connect with John Mansour:   ●     Proficientz (https://www.proficientz.com/) ●     John Mansour on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnmansourproficientz/) ●     John Mansour on Twitter (https://twitter.com/proficientz)   This Podcast is brought to you by Sopheon   Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of Innovation Talks.
