AI Takes The Boring Part w/ Adam Godson

The TL;DR: What happens when HR tech's most prominent conversational AI platform gets swallowed by an enterprise titan?

In this high-octane episode, Chad and Cheese sit down with Adam Godson—the newly crowned GM of Talent Acquisition Products at Workday—to dissect the aftermath of the Paradox acquisition. Forget standard corporate buzzwords; this is a raw look at how AI "agents" are systematically dismantling traditional software, why the SAS pricing model is officially on life support, and what it actually takes to survive the "SAS Apocalypse."

"What you get rid of is the people that wish they were talking to candidates, but are clicking buttons in the system. And that's a good thing."

— Adam Godson

Why it matters: This episode serves as a blueprint for the next five years of recruitment tech. If you are still relying on legacy keywords, manual data entry, and traditional seat licenses, your strategy is already on borrowed time.
