Ryan Stewart, Talent Acquisition Leader and Head of Product at Affintus

Описание: In this episode, Adam Gordon speaks with Ryan Stewart, Head of Product at Affintus, about how recruiter enablement intersects with candidate assessment; especially behavioural science-based tools that go beyond CVs and skills.

With a 20-year career spanning agency, in-house, tech product, and now psychometric assessments, Ryan brings deep insight into how recruiters can make better hiring decisions by using validated behavioural tools — even if they don’t have a psychology degree.

They discuss:

Why recruiter enablement includes better access to assessments, tools, and insights.

How behavioural assessments can reduce attrition and improve hiring outcomes.

The importance of validation and bias reduction in modern assessment tools.

Common controversies, including culture fit and the role of AI in hiring decisions.

How companies with high turnover or early-career hiring needs can benefit most from tools like Affintus.

If you're a recruiter, TA leader, or HR tech professional trying to navigate assessment tools and enablement strategies, this one is packed with practical takeaways.
