Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brainfood Live On Air - Ep383 - How to Hire for AI Fluency - The Zapier Framework
Q: How can organizations practically start translating this into immediate steps?
Start with a defined AI literacy concept at the organizational level, engage leadership sponsorship, pilot in one or two departments, align with performance management, and use a staged approach to define minimum, adoptive, and transformative expectations across roles.
Brainfood Live On Air - Ep383 - How to Hire for AI Fluency - The Zapier Framework
Q: What if candidates are not proficient but want to learn—should you still hire them?
The panel suggests the bar is very high in Zapier's framework; while learning is valuable, the company may not hire someone who cannot reach their minimum AI fluency, though organizations can adapt the framework to fit their needs and performance expectations.
Brainfood Live On Air - Ep378 - How to Hire in China in 2026
Q: How does it all work in terms of recruitment platforms in China?
Platforms in China heavily rely on domestic ecosystems like WeChat, Maimai, Boss Jiffin, Liaping, and Red Note, with AI-assisted screening and campaign features. Candidates engage primarily via mobile channels, and brands must coordinate across multiple platforms for a coherent employer brand and candidate verification.
Brainfood Live On Air - Ep373 - How to Hire in Korea in 2026
Q: What are the dominant channels and platforms for finding candidates in Korea?
In Korea, JobKorea and Saramin are the main job boards, Remember is emerging as a LinkedIn-like platform, and KakaoTalk is the preferred ongoing communication channel after initial contact.
