AI in hiring at GoodSpace: screening, follow-up and fair decisions
Vinay Pasricha shows what hiring at GoodSpace used to look like: hundreds of CVs for one job, each read by hand; candidates who accepted an offer and then stopped answering the phone; and feedback like "candidate was good" with nothing behind it. The lesson, he says, was that they didn't need AI everywhere, only exactly where work kept breaking: screening, follow-up and judging people fairly. Now an AI interviewer meets every candidate, every offer is tracked until joining day, and managers decide on evidence. The result was the same team, less chaos and better hires, not from buying more AI but from knowing where it belonged. He presents AI for Business Leaders as a guide to finding where AI belongs in a company, department by department.
