CollabTalk Podcast | Episode 178 with Vol Goloshuk

 

Episode 178 of the CollabTalk Podcast explores how AI is transforming the hiring process by dramatically reducing recruitment timelines while raising new questions about quality and fairness. It examines the strengths and limitations of AI compared to human recruiters, particularly in evaluating soft skills like cultural fit and motivation. The conversation addresses how candidates are adapting to AI-driven systems, and the ethical implications around bias, transparency, and accountability. Listeners will gain practical guidance for implementing AI in hiring with intention, preserving the human element, and avoiding common automation pitfalls.

Vol is a lifelong computer science enthusiast and top-ranked Olympiad competitor who developed a passion for building scalable systems and high-performing teams. Before founding AIChamp, he led BrightestMinds, a successful lead generation agency in a notoriously high-churn industry, where he gained deep expertise in hiring and managing remote talent. Over the past seven years, he has reviewed tens of thousands of applicants and hired hundreds across technical, sales, and support roles—helping clients from scrappy startups to unicorns secure funding and drive millions in revenue.
