Ken Lazarus is CEO of Scout Exchange. Having co-founded, led and advised over a dozen technology-based startups, he has over twenty-five years of experience growing innovative companies. Ken is passionately focused on using the power of data, marketplace dynamics, and technologies such as machine learning to disrupt and improve how companies find and hire the best talent. Prior to joining Scout in 2013, he served as CEO of Lilliputian Systems, where he led the development of Lilliputian’s portable power product platform, secured international aircraft regulatory approval, raised significant capital from blue chip investors and signed important strategic distribution and manufacturing agreements, including a landmark partnership with Intel Corporation (NASD: INTL). 1. As a company, how do you recognize where in your process an AI recruiting solution would be beneficial? 2. How does AI in recruiting affect the candidate experience? 3. It’s important that humans still drive the process of attracting passive candidates. Is there a way that AI can in fact assist recruiters with the challenge? 4. There are quite a few ways that AI can assist in screening; how can you effectively measure if these are working? For example, how do you know if a chat bot is providing helpful (and specific enough) answers? 5. Human interaction has always been key to forming relationships between third party recruiters and hiring companies. The idea of a recruitment marketplace somewhat removes this interaction. How can both parties ensure the right candidates are sourced and submitted without this? 6. With some recruiters worried that AI is coming for their jobs, how do you suggest getting a team or search firm to embrace AI tools? 7. What do you see as the biggest benefits of using AI in the recruiting process? 8. Do you see AI assisting with eliminating bias in recruitment? Learn more about your ad choices.

In a past life, I was a corporate recruiter for a few different global organizations. My team was housed under Human Resources, and I recruited for a variety of roles from administrative to senior line professionals in multiple functions. Like most corporate recruiters, I was assigned more job requisitions to fill than was humanly possible, wasn’t well-versed in what to look for in potential candidates other than key words, and relied on an applicant tracking system (ATS) to do the heavy lifting of feeding me the most "qualified" applicants. Hiring managers were usually too busy to meet with me, even when stellar applicants were waiting to hear back and we risked losing them. Candidate inquiries went unanswered, and they accepted jobs with competitors, while I was criticized for not doing better.

Leading late-stage investor Fidelity Management & Research Company, and the dedicated sustainable investor Generation Investment Management, joined existing Gusto investors Dragoneer Investment Group, General Catalyst, and those advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. in the round. “As Gusto continues to scale, we’ve been intentional about choosing investors that optimize for the long term. We’ll be building Gusto for decades, and our goal is to be a durable and sustainable business,” said Josh Reeves, Gusto CEO and co-founder. “Fidelity and Generation share our belief that the best business model is to align the success of your customers with your own success. Currently, only 50 percent of small businesses in America make it past year five. This is unacceptable, and we’re here to change that. Gusto is committed to increasing the durability of small businesses everywhere by helping them build great places to work where their employees thrive.” The investment will be used to double down on research and development as Gusto continues the expansion of the company’s people platform, enabling small business owners and operators to onboard their employees, pay them, provide health insurance, and support their teams all in one integrated solution.

Now as managers, directors and even founders, they see the value of investing in technologies that enable thriving workplaces. We believe that the market has arrived and demand for talent management software like 15Five will continue.” 15Five differentiates itself by basing its product and Best-Self Management approach on the latest research in organizational development and positive psychology.
