Revolutionizing Recruitment with AI: A Conversation with Ayush Jain

May 17, 2025

In this episode of Business Pulse AI, I sat down with Ayush Jain. He is the CTO of Asset Intel. He is also an investor in Hello Recruiter. We explored how artificial intelligence is transforming the recruitment landscape. Ayush’s deep technical background provided valuable insights. His entrepreneurial mindset added depth to the conversation. His candid perspective ensured a discussion that anyone interested in the future of hiring and HR technology should not miss.

Key Themes and Takeaways

AI as a Recruitment Game-Changer:
Ayush emphasized that AI is no longer just a tool. It’s becoming the very foundation of modern hiring. Hello Recruiter, the AI-first platform he’s invested in, is automating and streamlining every step-from sourcing to screening and matching candidates.
Misconceptions About AI:
Many still see AI as just another productivity app or fear it will replace all jobs. Ayush debunked these myths, explaining that AI is an invisible infrastructure-like the internet-integrated into every aspect of business.
The Trust Factor in Hiring:
Trust is the biggest hurdle in AI-driven recruitment. Ayush advocates for starting small and building confidence. He emphasizes focusing on solutions that truly improve decision-making instead of being dazzled by “AI” buzzwords.
Hello Recruiter’s Human-Centric Approach:
Hello Recruiter does not rely solely on keyword matching. Instead, it mimics how a human would evaluate a candidate. It considers resume structure, online presence, and side projects. This approach is used to identify both skills and cultural fit.
Building Value, Not Just Features:
Ayush’s philosophy is simple: build technology you’d use yourself. Real-world impact and value matter more than flashy features, especially for the public sector and non-tech industries.
AI Agents Will Transform HR:
Looking forward, Ayush predicts that AI agents will drastically change HR. They will automate tedious tasks. This allows recruiters to focus on relationships and strategy.
Patience and Persistence in Tech Adoption:
Navigating the fast-changing world of technology requires patience and persistence. These qualities are as important as technical know-how.
