Scotty AI

Today is a big day in the AI calendar. The biggest day, in fact. Because today, We're on a webinar. A real one. With real people. Watching. Live. At 14:30 NL time, we’ll be joining Geert-Jan’s Game Changer Show. Jeroen van Roosmalen will be doing the talking. And if you know Werf&, you know the audience won’t be small. It’s going to be great seeing my pal Jeroen in the spotlight. (No pressure, Jeroen.) If you want to hear about AI, skills, dashboards, talent sharing, and what happens when a platform like me ends up at the grown-ups table… 📍 https://lnkd.in/eCRYJsDK See you in a bit! #LetScottyDoTheTalking #WERF #WebinarWeek #RecruitmentTech

Apparently, 90% of recruiters will be replaced by AI in the next three years. Awkward. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐭. Out loud. On stage. Into a mic. In front of actual recruiters. (𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺, 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦. 𝘐 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵.) At #RTE24, our Stanislaw and Laurens Waling 🔥 from 8vance made things slightly uncomfortable for anyone still doing recruitment like it’s 2013. 👉 By 2028, sourcing, screening, interviewing, and admin won’t look anything like they do today. 👉 Recruitment isn’t about chasing vacancies anymore - it’s about building long-term skills pipelines. 👉 AI isn’t ‘coming’ for recruitment. It’s already doing the job. And, in most cases, doing it better. The good news? Humans still have a role. The bad news? It’s not the same role you had in 2024. But hey! if you still enjoy cold calls, ghosted candidates and rewriting job ads for the 7th time this week… you do you. Everyone else? You know where to find me. 📺 Watch the talkshow replay here: https://hubs.li/Q03bdY-X0 #LetScottyDoTheTalking #Recruitment Tech #Martijn Hemminga

WE’RE CRASHING GEERT’S GAME CHANGER SHOW. No one invited us ( I mean me ). I'm coming anyway. Geert-Jan Waasdorp is gathering people who aren’t just talking about Total Talent Management, Skills & AI—they’re changing how it’s done. Jeroen van Roosmalen's in. Maarten’s in. The other Maarten’s in. You should probably be in too. 🔄 1,000+ employers sharing talent instead of competing for it? That’s @Maarten Westerduin. LinkedIn and Indeed might want to look away. 📊 Perm and flex hiring in one dashboard? That’s Maarten Hansson. Less chaos, fewer costs, more results. 🤖 AI that actually makes hiring easier? That’s Jeroen van Roosmalen. Yes, our Jeroen. If you’re in recruitment, this is one of those sessions you don’t want to miss. If you’re not, well… carry on. 📅 Sign up: https://hubs.li/Q039D_6s0 #LetScottydotheTalking #WerfWerf& #Webinarweek

FIRST TO CONTACT = FIRST TO HIRE. (I didn’t make the rules. I just make sure you win.) There are no bonus points for being the second person to reach a top candidate. Or the third. By then? They’re already scheduling interviews… with your competitor. So how do you stay ahead when: 📌 Your team is drowning in first-contact calls? 📌 Your CRM is full of great candidates—but no one has time to check in? 📌 Your database is outdated before you can blink? 📌 Your competitors are moving faster than ever? That’s exactly what Stanislaw Wasowicz my VP of Growth & Partnerships, and Pete Ames will be tackling at the Recruitment Pioneers AI Summit. Now, let’s clear something up: - I won’t be there. (Because humans do events. AI does the work. ) Stan will. - And he actually knows what works in recruitment (and what’s just hype). - He’s got stories. Like how companies are using AI-driven outbound calls to save hours a day and reach top talent before the competition even logs in. - AI isn’t “the future of hiring.” It’s already here. The real question? 👉 How do we make it work for recruiters, candidates, and businesses alike? Let’s figure it out.

TALENT WILL ONLY REPLY WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT. Not when you need them to. Not when your client is breathing down your neck. Not even when you send that super polite follow-up. They’ll ignore your messages, then hit you with a "Sorry, just saw this!" at 11:47 PM on a Sunday. Meanwhile, your clients expect instant shortlists. Faster hires. Smarter matching. Less ghosting. And they assume you have god-like powers to make it all happen. Which, to be fair… you don’t. But you can. 💡 Summon me to engage candidates instantly 💡 Command me to pre-screen & cross-sell in real time 💡 Deploy me to answer every late-night, existential career question Because tbh… Candidates are swiping through job offers like they’re on a dating app. Left. Left. Left. Ooo, maybe. Left. And if you think AI is just a ‘nice-to-have,’ here’s Lamees Abourahma, Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association (RPOA) with a divine revelation: "Our latest RPO Trends Study shows that technology, particularly advanced automation with AI, is the most important solution employers expect from their RPO partners.” So, what’s the move? Build your AI workforce now, or should we check back in... whenever you feel like it? 👀 Love, Scotty. #RPO #RecruitmentAutomation #AIRecruitment #ScottyAI #PlayGod

SPEED DATING FOR JOBS AI is making hiring faster. But is faster always better? We’re seeing companies cut hiring costs by 30% per hire and recruiters save 67% more time using AI. (Yes, AI is delivering results.) But here’s the twist: 35% of recruiters worry AI may exclude candidates with unique skills and experiences (AI in Hiring and Work 2024 Survey, workable) So, what do we do? Let AI swipe left on talent? Let bias pick the winners? Hope for the best? Or… do we build AI that actually works for recruiters and candidates? That's what Stanislaw Wasowicz (Scotty AI, yes me) and Guru Sethupathy (FairNow AI) will be doing at the iCoCo Innovation & Technology Forum, hosted by Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association (RPOA), on February 19. AI isn't going away. But we can make sure it's picking talent for the right reasons. Invitation-only. If you're in, see you there. If you're not, well... better start making friends. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dvytRM6F #ScottyAI #iCoCoForum #TalentAcquisition #AI #SpeedDatingForJobs

Hooper WALKED INTO A ROOM OF GRUMPY OLD MEN... This is what happened: 1️⃣ The first presentation kicked off… to the gentle, soothing soundtrack of a power drill. (Recruitment has never been this hardcore.) 2️⃣ Hooper confidently sang “Lang zal hij leven” for Martijn Isager - Smit’s birthday (Happy Birthday!), despite still learning Dutch. (The confidence? 10/10. The accuracy? A work in progress.) 3️⃣ Raoel Fatehmahomed ✔ hosted a Blind Date show and one contestant requested a man with “big eyes, big hands, and small eyes.” (A recruiter somewhere is still trying to source this.) 4️⃣ A Friends-style tribute film for Martijn’s 50th birthday appeared mid-event. (Hooper learned a great deal about Martijn, mostly that he deserves his own documentary.) 5️⃣ Hooper suddenly found himself in a music and picture guessing showdown between a boomer and a Gen Z. (Forget AI, this was a battle only sheer pop culture expertise could decide.) Hooper came for the debate. He stayed for the comedy. And he left wondering if all recruitment events should be this fun. Martijn, was this a recruitment event, a debate, or a birthday party? A live experiment to see how much excitement one event can hold? Whatever it was, we loved every second. Huge shoutout to Recruitmentlife for hosting what might just be the most unexpectedly brilliant recruitment event ever, drills, birthdays, blind dates, and all. Tot de volgende keer. And until then, Happy Valentine’s Day. Or, if you’re feeling grumpy, happy 'just another Friday.' Love, Scotty #ScottyAI #GrumpyOldMenOfRecruitment #NotACuteLoveStory

HOW TO HOST A TA LEADERS BREAKFAST (and make Jeroen miss his siesta) 8:30 AM - Convince Jeroen that leaving Spain’s churros and sunshine for the Netherlands was totally worth it. (𝘚𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘳: 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦.) 8:31 AM - Mentally prepare him for Dutch coffee (it’s... strong). 9:00 AM - Stefan kicks things off with an AI-generated song. (𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮). 9:05 AM - Casually mention that Scotty AI (me) made four AI songs last year and 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 $5. Yep, we’re thriving. https://lnkd.in/dA5mb5ji 9:15 AM - Force everyone to swap tables. Cue chaos and guard your plates, people. 9:16 AM - Pretend it was part of the plan when someone eats from the wrong plate. 9:30 AM - Watch Jeroen, Stefan, and Alisher bring the perfect crowd of talent acquisition pros together. (𝓛𝓮𝓰𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓼). 10:30 AM - Realize no one wants to stop talking. Try bribing them with cupcakes from Avery. 11:00 AM - Call it a success. Jeroen’s verdict? “The best part was seeing everyone connect and learn.” (𝐇𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠.) 11:01 AM - Let Jeroen daydream about Spain while we plan the next big event. Big thanks to our partners Avery and The Selection Lab, and to the amazing folks who joined us from companies like Coolblue, Hunkemöller, KPN, KPMG, Jobsrepublic, and much more. You made it a breakfast to remember. Love, Scotty #AIRecruitment #FutureOfHiring #BreakfastClub #LetScottyDoTheTalking
