There’s a moment at every great event where the conversation gets real.
That’s what happened at our private dinner at Delilah’s during Transform 2026 with our friends at Fountain.
No fluff. No buzzwords. Just practitioners talking honestly about what’s actually working & broken in hiring… and what it takes to fix it.
The conversations were raw and real.
Not only was it an incredibly classy venue with delicious food and cocktails, but it was a gathering of epic humans in the space.
What stood out most? (aside from talking about AI)
👉 Frontline hiring remains one of the biggest operational bottlenecks in business, and most companies are trying to solve it with tools that weren’t built for scale, speed, or real-world use.
Fountain is different.
They’re not just layering AI on top of outdated workflows.
→ They’ve rebuilt the system around how hiring actually happens:
Speed without sacrificing quality
Automation that removes friction, not human judgment
High-volume hiring that still feels human
Real-time visibility across the entire funnel
✅ And most important: the ability to meet candidates where they are, not where legacy systems expect them to be
The result?
→ Teams can hire faster, smarter, and more fairly, without burning out recruiters or losing great talent in the process.
👆 That’s the Human + AI equation we dug into that night.
Huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to the Fountain team for pushing
this conversation forward in a meaningful way.
This is where hiring is going.
And if you’re still relying on yesterday’s systems… you’re already behind.
