  Jennifer Logue on Why You Should Be the CEO of Your Own Job Search

  Sep 17, 202610 min

  At This Time, career coach Jennifer Logue drops the mic on job-search advice: there's no cheat code, no magic script — just you, being unapologetically yourself. After 15+ years in journalism and advertising, Jennifer now helps people stop blindly applying and start reflecting on what actually energizes them (hint: it's not the SAT-style interview prep everyone's doing). She breaks down why treating yourself like the CEO of your own career — non-negotiables and all — changes the entire game. Oh, and her secret weapon? Listening skills she picked up as a musician.

  Jenks Currie & Francisco Shirazi on Ditching the Desktop for Hiring

  Aug 30, 20268 min

  At This Time, Fastflow's Jenks Currie and Francisco Shirazi explain why the future of frontline hiring lives in your text messages, not your inbox. They break down how candidates go from QR code scan to fully onboarded without ever leaving a chat thread — and why that single shift is landing with everyone from barbershops to construction crews to school districts. Plus, a refreshingly honest take on AI's actual job in recruiting: making conversations feel human, not replacing the humans who make the decisions. If your ATS still routes candidates through their email, this episode is worth your time.

  Maryam Mahdaviani on Why That "Verified" LinkedIn Profile Might Be a North Korean Spy

  May 12, 20268 minS0

  <p>At This Time ... hiring fraud has officially leveled up — and your gut instincts aren't enough anymore. Maryam, founder of Attesto, joins Eric to break down how sophisticated fraudsters are now slipping past background checks and LinkedIn verification with fully fabricated (but convincing) identities. From North Korean operatives trying to infiltrate companies to deepfake impersonators acing your interview process, the threat is real — and quietly expensive. Maryam walks through how Attesto's AI-powered trust layer analyzes hundreds of signals (IP address, phone type, email footprint, and more) to catch what human recruiters simply can't — before a bad hire costs you $700K or you...

  <p>At This Time, Eric sits down with longtime colleague and friendly rival Nicole Wellman Noble — a charter school talent veteran who traded her in-house seat at Bright Star for the consultant life.
