Leveraging AI to Improve Talent Quality and Diversity with Tina Shah Paikeday
AI is already changing how companies hire, but the bigger question is whether it’s helping us make better decisions or just faster ones.
In this episode of **The Inclusive AF Podcast**, Jackye Clayton and Katee Van Horn talk with **Tina Shah Paikeday, Responsible AI Senior Advisor at Findem**, about what responsible AI in hiring actually looks like.
They get into bias, human oversight, new regulations, skills-based hiring, and why HR teams need to be careful about which tools they use and what information they put into them.
Tina also talks about how AI can help recruiters spend less time sorting through hundreds of résumés and more time doing the work that actually matters: advising hiring managers, building relationships with candidates, and finding talent that traditional hiring processes may overlook.
The bottom line: **AI can be useful, but it still needs judgment, guardrails, and accountability from the humans using it.**
