  • SkillSharp The Podcast - Silicon Valley is three years ahead on AI recruiting with Paul Duran, Senior Technical Recruiter
    Dec 2 2025

    Silicon Valley is three years ahead on AI recruiting — and what’s happening there is about to hit the rest of the job market fast.

    In this episode of SKILLSHARP THE PODCAST, Todd and Brian sit down with Paul Duran, Senior Technical Recruiter at Plaid (previously Facebook, Microsoft, Wells Fargo, Blockchain.com), to break down how AI is transforming hiring from the inside.

    Here’s what Paul uncovers:
    → Why 95% of applicants never reach a human
    → How AI tools like Ashby and JuiceBox actually filter candidates
    → What companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, Nvidia, and Microsoft are doing differently
    → The biggest ATS mistakes job seekers make
    → How to optimize your resume + LinkedIn for AI screening
    → What the Bay Area reveals about the future of hiring
    → And whether AI will really replace recruiters (his answer may surprise you)

    If you’re applying to jobs and not hearing back, this episode will completely change your strategy.
