Episode Overview:

Remote hiring changed everything. Organizations can now recruit talent from virtually anywhere, using virtual interviews, AI-powered tools, and digital hiring processes that are faster and more scalable than ever before. But every innovation comes with trade-offs. As hiring fraud, AI-assisted interviews, proxy candidates, and increasingly polished online personas become more common, many organizations are realizing that the traditional signals they once relied on to assess talent are no longer as reliable.

The bigger question isn't simply how to prevent fraud. It's how to design hiring processes that prioritize trust, authenticity, and long-term hiring success.

In this episode, Kristina Benassi joins Jeff Waldman to explore what trustworthy hiring looks like in a world where technology has fundamentally changed both how candidates present themselves and how employers evaluate talent.

We explore:

👉 Why remote hiring optimized for convenience, but not always for confidence
👉 What organizations have unintentionally lost as hiring became more digital
👉 Why interviews often measure performance under pressure instead of performance on the job
👉 Why adding more interviews, assessments, and verification steps doesn't necessarily lead to better hiring decisions
👉 Practical principles for designing hiring processes built on trust, authenticity, and better outcomes

Whether you're an HR leader, recruiter, hiring manager, or executive, this conversation will challenge how you think about evaluating talent in the age of AI and remote work.

About Kristina Benassi:

Kristina Benassi is the Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition at Euna Solutions, where she has spent the past six years building and leading the company's talent acquisition function.

AI is transforming nearly every aspect of HR, and workplace investigations are no exception. From organizing evidence and summarizing interviews to drafting reports and identifying patterns, AI has the potential to make investigations more efficient and consistent.

Episode Overview:

In this episode of our podcast, titled "Insurance Transformation: Catch-Up or Collaboration?", we dive into the state of the health insurance industry in Canada with our guest, Chris Gory. We explore why the Canadian health insurance landscape seems slow to innovate compared to other markets, particularly the U.S. Over the past 25 years, the industry has struggled to keep pace with the evolving needs of Canadians, especially with the recent surge in demand for coverage in areas like medical marijuana, fertility treatments, and mental health support.

We tackle several pressing questions:

Why do legacy carriers lag in evolving their coverages for new or niche areas?

Are insurtech companies truly disrupting the space, or are they merely partnering with traditional carriers to gain a foothold?

What is the potential impact of specialty platforms focusing on niche areas such as fertility, virtual care for kids, and support for women dealing with menopause?

What trends are emerging in the Canadian health insurance market?

Are there any innovative platforms that our viewers might not yet be aware of?

Watch this episode; an insightful discussion on whether the Canadian health insurance industry is perpetually playing catch-up or if there's a shift towards meaningful collaboration and innovation.

Topic: The Evolution of HR Tech: PeopleOS vs HRMS
Guest: Noah Marks

In this episode, we explore the dynamic evolution of the HR tech industry over the past decade, moving from outdated, cumbersome platforms to today's sleek, mobile-first, and AI-integrated systems. While delving into the key differences between PeopleOS and HRMS, we recognize that HRMS initially aimed to enhance administrative functions like payroll, recruitment, and employee data management, eliminating paper processes and improving scalability for administrators. However, focusing solely on the administrator experience is now inadequate. User experience is paramount, driving the concept of People OS, which parallels the hyper-personalization seen in customer experiences across various industries.

Discussion Points:
1) Fundamental Differences and Core Functionalities:
Host Jeff Waldman and guest Noah Marks discuss the fundamental differences between HRMS and People OS. They highlight the core functionalities that set them apart, with People OS emphasizing a user-centric approach, unlike the traditionally administrator-focused HRMS.

2) Evolution of HR Technology:
The conversation shifts to the significant evolution in the HR tech landscape over the past decade. Key trends driving the shift from traditional HRMS to PeopleOS are explored, including advancements in mobile technology, AI integration, and the increasing importance of user experience.

3) Benefits and Challenges of Adopting PeopleOS:
The episode examines the main benefits of adopting a People OS over a traditional HRMS, such as enhanced user engagement and streamlined processes. Conversely, challenges organizations might face during this transition are also discussed, providing a balanced view of the shift.

4) Real-World Examples and Case Studies:
Noah Marks shares real-world examples and case studies of organizations that have successfully implemented PeopleOS. These examples illustrate the significant impact on HR processes and overall employee experience, offering listeners practical insights.

5) Future Innovations in HR Technology:
Looking ahead, the discussion anticipates the future evolution of HR technology. Innovations and emerging technologies expected to shape the future of PeopleOS and HRMS are explored, giving listeners a glimpse into the potential advancements on the horizon.

In the latest episode of the Unmuted Podcast, titled "Tech Without Limits: Ensuring Accessibility for All in the Tech Sector," the focus is on the critical importance of accessibility in technology. Host and ScaleHR Founder, Jeff Waldman, begins by emphasizing how deeply technology has integrated into every aspect of our lives—shaping the way we work, communicate, and live. Despite this, there remains a significant gap in accessibility for underrepresented groups, particularly those with disabilities.

With over 25% of the population identifying as having a disability, the need for more accessible workplaces in the tech sector is not just a moral obligation but a strategic business imperative. However, improving accessibility is challenging and requires dedicated effort and commitment.

To explore this vital topic, Sydney Elaine Butler joins the conversation, offering insights and strategies to help the tech sector become more inclusive. The discussion delves into key questions such as the meaning of accessibility, its importance in tech companies, and practical ways to make workplaces and products more accessible.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone in the tech industry looking to ensure their work is accessible to all.

About Sydney Elaine Butler
A 2020 graduate from Sheridan College with the Honours of Bachelor of Business Administration-Human Resources program. As a neurodiverse individual who is also an HR Professional. It is my understanding that my professional purpose must be to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to be successful regardless of barriers in their way, and I must as a professional remove these barriers. I wrote AODA policies, practices and procedures for a non-profit and made sure they were compliant and were in a situation where they could better train their employees to work alongside and provide support to clients with disabilities. I hosted a workshop for my team for Disability Pride Month to help educate them and have them start the importance of Accessibility and Accommodation for all. I believe educating and speaking about these things is essential as part of my duty to both the communities I identify so strongly with.

In this episode of the Unmuted podcast, host Jeff Waldman dives into the critical topic of candidate experience with guest Marlies Farrill. As our business environment becomes increasingly complex and technology-driven, the need for a positive candidate experience has never been more crucial. Jeff highlights that while we have long considered candidate experience important, today’s fast-paced and specialized job market makes it essential.

Marlies Farrill defines candidate experience as the overall perception a job seeker forms about a company during the recruitment process. She emphasizes its significance in today’s competitive job market, where a single negative experience can not only lose a candidate but also harm a company’s reputation when shared online.

The discussion covers common mistakes companies make, such as poor communication and lack of transparency, which can severely impact the candidate experience. Marlies stresses the importance of balancing personalization with efficiency in the hiring process, ensuring candidates feel valued without compromising on the speed and effectiveness of recruitment.

Finally, Marlies offers practical advice for listeners, encouraging them to take immediate small actions—such as sending personalized follow-up messages or providing clear timelines—to enhance the candidate experience. These seemingly minor efforts can have a game-changing impact on how candidates perceive and engage with a company.

In this solo episode of Unmuted, I delve into a deeply personal and important topic: grief in the workplace. Inspired by my recent experience of visiting a long-time friend in palliative care, I reflect on the emotions I’ve been grappling with and explore how organizations can better support employees through similar challenges.

We begin by acknowledging that grief affects everyone differently, and organizations need to create environments where employees feel supported during times of loss. From offering flexible work arrangements and reviewing bereavement leave policies to promoting mental health resources, there are several ways companies can show care and understanding.

I discuss the importance of building a compassionate culture, equipping managers with the skills to support grieving employees, and ensuring long-term follow-up, as grief is not something that resolves after a few days off.

Whether you're an HR leader, manager, or someone navigating grief yourself, this episode offers insight into how we can better care for our colleagues when they need it most.

Host: Jeff Waldman – Founder & HR Tech Evangelist at ScaleHR & SocialHRCamp

Episode Overview:

HR teams are being flooded with new digital tools, automation, dashboards, and AI. While technology is evolving rapidly, adoption often isn't. Many HR professionals feel overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or worried they're falling behind. But the biggest barrier isn't technology, it's people.

Resistance is often driven by fear, self-doubt, or feeling left out of the transformation process. Until organizations address the human side of change, HR teams will struggle to confidently lead digital transformation.

In this episode, Mindy Honcoop shares practical strategies to help HR move from resistance to readiness.

We explore:

👉 What digital resistance in HR really looks like
👉 Why HR and IT often struggle to align on technology adoption
👉 Practical ways to build digital literacy and confidence
👉 How leaders can turn fear into momentum
👉 A real-world example of successful digital transformation

If you're leading HR through change, or navigating it yourself, this episode offers practical guidance for building confidence in an increasingly digital workplace.

Topic: Why We Built Orbi: What HR Actually Needs From AI
Guest: Limor Markman – AI Strategist & Co-Creator of Orbi
Host: Jeff Waldman – HR Tech Evangelist & Co-Creator of Orbi

Episode Overview

This is a Special Episode of the Unmuted Podcast, where we explore important launches, innovations, and major shifts shaping HR, leadership, and technology.

This episode is about something we've been quietly building: Orbi.

AI is advancing rapidly, but many HR leaders still find themselves caught between curiosity and confidence. They know AI matters, they're experimenting with it, but they're also asking:

👉 Am I using AI effectively?
👉 Can I trust the output?
👉 Do I have time to learn another tool?
👉 How do I apply AI to real HR situations where nuance matters?

Over the past year, Jeff Waldman and Limor Markman listened closely to the HR community. Those conversations revealed a clear need for an AI assistant built specifically for HR, and ultimately inspired the creation of Orbi.

In this episode, Jeff and Limor discuss the biggest gaps in today's AI experience for HR professionals and why purpose-built AI matters.

We explore:

👉 Why curiosity about AI is growing faster than confidence
👉 The prompting challenges that hold HR teams back
👉 Why HR professionals need simplicity, speed, and collaboration, not more complexity
👉 How AI can reduce isolation by becoming a trusted thought partner
👉 Why AI should enhance human judgment, not replace it
👉 The story behind the creation of Orbi

If you work in HR and want practical, trustworthy AI support, this episode is for you.

🌟 What Is Orbi?

Orbi is a ChatGPT-powered AI assistant built specifically for HR leaders, practitioners, and teams.

It helps HR professionals work with:

✅ Greater confidence
✅ Faster, higher-quality outputs
✅ Better collaboration
✅ Smarter support for complex people decisions
✅ A trusted 24/7 HR thought partner

Unlike generic AI tools, Orbi was built around the real-world challenges HR teams face every day.

Episode Overview

For decades, HR leaders have been challenged to become more strategic and commercially minded. Yet many organizations still view HR primarily as a support function rather than a driver of business value.

Today, the pressure is different.

AI is reshaping work. Budgets are tighter. Executive teams are demanding better answers about productivity, workforce value, and return on talent investment. The traditional HR playbook is no longer enough.

In this episode, Daneal Charney and Konstantin Tskhay discuss new research that challenges conventional thinking: "What if organizations managed talent like a strategic asset instead of simply a cost?"

Together, we explore:

👉 Why headcount, compensation, and turnover metrics alone no longer tell the full story
👉 What the Canadian Talent Benchmarking Study reveals about workforce value and organizational performance
👉 Why HR has struggled to adopt an asset-based mindset
👉 Why AI, tighter capital markets, and productivity pressures make this shift more urgent than ever
👉 Practical actions CEOs, CHROs, and HR leaders can take to modernize talent strategy and ROI

If you're an HR leader, founder, executive, or people manager looking to rethink how your organization creates value through talent, this episode offers practical insights backed by new research.
