Most recruitment leaders are missing a game-changing secret - using AI not just to automate, but to radically transform talent acquisition from the ground up.

In this episode of More Than A CV Podcast, Sean Allen speaks with Jake Ailion, Talent Acquisition Manager at CMAP, who reveals how he's harnessing AI tools like Claude to cut admin time by hours, craft hyper-personalised candidate experiences, and even streamline interview processes - all while building a talent function from scratch in a high-growth tech environment.

In this episode, you’ll discover how AI can overhaul your entire recruitment cycle: from building detailed market maps in minutes instead of days, to creating tailored candidate packs that wow hiring managers and candidates alike. Jake shares the innovative ways he's integrating AI into interview screening, note-taking, and debriefing - empowering talent teams to be more present and strategic.

Plus, you'll hear how AI is opening new opportunities for hiring manager training and employer branding, making your organisation stand out in a competitive market.
