We’ve know each other 15+ years, and I love the executive conversations he has on his podcast. If you’re looking for some insight on scaling a high hiring bar, reducing false negative hiring decisions, how the role of the recruiter will evolve with AI, and what execs want from talent leaders now - including what makes a good talent strategy - check out our 35 min chat. --- # JOHN VLASTELICA ON WAYS TO IMPROVE HIRING EFFICIENCY, QUALITY AND DIVERSITY   John Vlastelica is the founder and CEO of  [Recruiting Toolbox](https://recruitingtoolbox.com/?utm_campaign=LinkedIn%20Links&utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_term=LinkedIn%20Bio%20Link), a consulting and training firm helping companies recruit and hire better; with more speed, efficacy, and diversity.
