AI as a Recruiting Assistant, Not a Replacement

The world of hiring is changing fast. With headlines shouting that “AI will take your job” and startups promising “fully automated recruiting,” it’s easy to get caught in the hype cycle. But Michael Brown, CEO and Founder of Door3 Talent, has a different take: no matter how powerful AI becomes, great hiring will always be human at its core. The best recruiters use AI as an assistant, never a replacement. Brown, who’s spent two decades scaling teams at companies like Toast, Snyk, Acquia, and Lumafield, has built his career on the idea that people, not processes, close great hires.
