About Inside Talent
Inside Talent started as a live show and podcast exploring the real conversations happening behind the scenes in recruiting, HR tech, and talent leadership.
The Special Edition powered by Match2 focuses on:
- Why candidates are more disadvantaged than ever in employer-first workflows
- How AI, automation, and hype are reshaping (and sometimes breaking) recruiting
- What actually works in job advertising, funnels, and performance data
- How to think like a performance marketer instead of a traditional HR function
Episodes feature voices like Matt Charney, Tim Sackett, and other highly opinionated operators, analysts, and builders.

Managing Complex, High-Volume Hiring Without Sacrificing Candidate Experience
Inside Talent with Craig Fisher featuring Mike Bradshaw, VP of Talent at Pinpoint
In this episode of Inside Talent, Craig Fisher sits down with Mike Bradshaw, VP of Talent at Pinpoint, to explore one of the toughest challenges facing recruiting teams today: how to scale hiring quickly without damaging candidate experience or employer brand.
As companies deal with more roles, more locations, and more pressure to move fast, many hiring processes begin to break down. Candidates feel it first — through slow communication, confusing workflows, and inconsistent hiring experiences.
Craig and Mike dig into what “complex, high-volume hiring” really means today and what talent leaders can do to design hiring processes that scale effectively.
In this conversation, they discuss:
• How high-volume hiring has evolved in the past few years
• Where candidate experience tends to break first when hiring scales
• Why employer brand is shaped more by the hiring process than by marketing
• The real role of automation in recruiting — and where it actually helps candidates
• How flexible workflows and better systems can improve recruiter and hiring manager collaboration
• What great hiring at scale actually looks like in practice
• The patterns Mike sees across organizations that scale hiring successfully
• What talent leaders should focus on first when hiring demand suddenly increases
Whether you’re a TA leader, recruiter, HR executive, or hiring manager, this conversation offers practical insights on balancing speed, scale, and candidate experience in modern hiring.
