Nycole Rosen on why AI is a tool, not the solution
Every staffing firm wants AI to finally be the thing. Nycole, Co-Founder of Pedagogue Systems, went from temp to CIO and now gets firms ready for it.
Here's a preview of what we learned.
1. No staffing firm has data clean enough to point AI at.
Every acquisition leaves another ATS behind, so a typical firm runs five systems held together by connectors that almost work.
2. Bias is the realistic failure, and nobody is buying governance yet.
Let AI make human decisions and it learns from your hiring history, then quietly starts excluding candidates. Nycole expects it will take an auditor finding no record before firms act.
3. Start with the goal, not the AI.
Name what you're after, whether that's revenue, placements or acquisitions, then open the toolbox. AI will probably be in it, next to people and process.

"Get rid of AI as one of the solutions. Don't even start thinking about that. AI is a tool, just like everything else."
