LinkedIn User #204,097:
39 Years of TA, Told Straight

Steve Levy is LinkedIn user #204,097. He co-founded ATAP. He was doing AI in hiring at Pitney Bowes before AI had a Wikipedia page. And unlike a lot of “thought leaders” in this space, he never stopped practicing — he's currently at R1 RCM building production AI/ML sourcing prompt stacks while simultaneously training the next generation of ocean lifeguards at Jones Beach (34 years and counting).

If you don't know Steve — Desiree said it best in the intro: babe, what are you doing? Pause the episode. Google him. Come back.

Des and Ashley sat down with one of the actual founders of modern TA and asked him to zoom out. What did the profession get right? What did we get embarrassingly wrong? What's AI actually doing? And what do the recruiters listening right now need to be doing to survive what's coming?

Steve came ready. This one is a masterclass wrapped in a roast wrapped in an hour of the funniest, sharpest TA conversation we've had all year.
