The Power of the Recruitment Community: Live @ RecFest USA 2025 Recruiters, creators, leaders — this one’s for YOU. From AI and authenticity to IVs of iced coffee and Ferris wheel dreams, this episode of #thePOZcast Live from RecFest Nashville has it all. 🎪 I sat down with a few legends doing the work and shaping the industry: Omar Khateeb (CEO, JobPixel) — on why vibe is everything in content, staying authentic, and never chasing algorithms. Allyn Bailey (SmartRecruiters) — on storytelling, brand experience, and using tech to actually connect people to purpose. Jamie Leonard (RecFest Founder) — on what makes RecFest magical, community over competition, and why it really feels like Sunday Funday. Vicky Liu (Juicebox.ai) — on joining a rocketship startup, Series A momentum, and working with a team full of “biggest brains.” Nicky Russell & Dan Lockhart & Shantel Lubinger (Advisor360 + SonderMind) — on quality of slate, rejection done right, and remembering we’re humans first. John Ruffini (Health Trust Workforce Solutions)— on why recruiters have gotten lazy, the lost art of the phone call, and bringing back urgency and empathy.
