Hiring in 6 Minutes: The Future of Frontline Recruiting: Pete Eisenman: LIVE @ Transform 2026

WATCH: https://youtu.be/O17Rbnnc0DE Live from Fountain's private event at Transform 2026, Delilah’s After Dark: The Human + AI Experience, Adam Posner sits down with Pete Eisenman of Fountain to break down what’s really happening in frontline, high-volume hiring—and how AI is quietly rewriting the entire playbook. This isn’t theory. It’s happening now. Pete explains how hiring has evolved from manual, recruiter-driven workflows to highly automated, agentic systems that can take candidates from application to conditional offer in minutes—not days. But speed isn’t just about efficiency. It’s about winning talent. In a world where candidates are applying to 20+ jobs at once, the fastest company often gets the best hire. And increasingly, candidates are choosing instant, AI-driven interviews over waiting for a recruiter’s availability. Still, this isn’t about removing humans from the process. It’s about repositioning them—focusing recruiters and hiring managers on the moments that actually matter, while automation handles the repetitive, high-volume tasks. They also dig into the real friction point in AI adoption (and it’s not legal or IT), how companies can balance automation with human touch, and why the future of recruiting will be outcome-based—not task-based. If you’re hiring at scale—or competing for talent in any capacity—this conversation is a look at what’s coming faster than most organizations are prepared for.
