About this episode

A small staffing firm was about to lose its biggest client. They had one last chance to deliver, and the role they needed to fill was one they'd never even recruited for. Rajeev Kumar, CTO of Althire AI, reveals how his platform ran 200 full interviews in three days and saved the account. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Rajeev about the "team of specialists inside one brain" architecture where separate AI agents interview, evaluate, schedule, proctor, and rank candidates in real time. He shares how candidates over 45 showed the highest adoption rates because they felt more comfortable sharing experience with AI than being sized up by younger engineers. Rajeev breaks down Althire's strict ethical guardrails, where AI never says hire or reject, and previews his 2030 vision where interviews become full job simulations with AI teammates, managers, and clients before your first day even begins.
