Findem’s Chief Transformation Officer, Brett Coin, sat down with Bob Pulver of the [_Elevate Your IQ_](https://wrkdefined.com/podcast/elevate-your-aiq/episode/ep-44-proactive-and-holistic-recruitment-strategies-for-talent-transformation-with-brett-coin) podcast to discuss how AI and data are reshaping the future of talent acquisition. With decades of experience — from leading talent acquisition at Okta and Intuit to spearheading [AI-driven transformation](https://www.findem.ai/blog/ai-first-talent-transformation) at Findem — Brett brings a unique perspective on tackling today’s biggest recruitment challenges.

"Organizations need to think holistically about their talent network — employees, alumni, and even contingent workers are part of the same ecosystem,” he shares.

In this episode, Brett discusses how organizations can move from yesterday’s outdated, reactive recruiting models to more proactive, AI-powered strategies for multichannel hiring. Brett and Bob discuss practical steps talent teams can take to embrace AI and multichannel sourcing, all while keeping ethics and efficiency front and center.

"AI isn’t here to replace recruiters — it’s here to make their work more impactful by eliminating inefficiencies,” Brett adds.

Here’s a sneak peek at the full discussion:

- **Moving from reactive to proactive recruitment**: Why traditional methods like job postings and outbound searches aren’t enough — and how AI can unlock multichannel sourcing opportunities.
- **Leveraging AI for smarter recruitment**: How [AI recruiting tools](https://www.findem.ai/blog/ai-recruitment-tools) uncover hidden talent pools and automatically refresh data in the ATS.
- **Rethinking workforce planning**: The shift to integrating full-time and contingent workforce strategies in one cohesive plan.
- **Driving adoption of new technologies**: Overcoming c [hallenges in change management](https://www.findem.ai/blog/talent-tech-adoption-lessons) to implement AI effectively.
- **The importance of ethical AI**: Why [reducing bias and ensuring transparency](https://www.findem.ai/why-findem/responsible-ai) are essential for building trust in AI-powered hiring systems.
