Following a severe accident that resulted in major memory loss, she was forced to relearn not just who she was, but how modern organizations function. That clean slate became a surprising advantage. Free from traditional "design bias," she now helps enterprise HR and TA teams rebuild their processes from the ground up with AI at the center.In this conversation, JCK unpacks what it really takes to build a compliant, modern AI hiring strategy. She reveals how most organizations get AI adoption wrong, either from fear, lack of data strategy, or tech overload and how to reverse engineer transformation by following the pain. You’ll also hear about her upcoming session at ERE with legal expert Danielle Ox and moderator Brian Fink, where they’ll go deep on governance, strategy, and getting AI right in high-stakes hiring environments. Jennifer's blend of real-world expertise and radical self-awareness makes this one of the most insightful episodes yet.JCK'S BIOJennifer Cotie Kangas (JCK) is the Founder and Chief Solutions Architect of White Rock Consulting.
