Gary Schrader

What Gary writes about

Gary’s writing is the advisory voice for the people doing the recruiting work — HR directors, TA leaders, in-house recruiting teams, and individual contributors. The voice is plain-spoken, operational, and always concerned with the question that matters most to the reader: what should I do tomorrow morning that I am not doing today? He writes about the recruiter’s actual week, the patterns inside hiring committees, the diagnostic questions a TA leader should be asking, and where AI sourcing changes the day-to-day work versus where it doesn’t.

He concedes pushback explicitly. The honest list of what AI sourcing does not do, the segments where it struggles, the cases where the tool is the wrong answer — these are not buried sections; they are part of how the writing earns trust. Skepticism is the right starting posture for any HR or recruiting leader evaluating new tooling, and Gary’s pieces are written for readers who hold that posture.
