from The Frontier Leader Show – AI Strategy, Leadership & Decision-Making for Senior Leaders · host Martin Wheatley - The AI Leader Lab

Most teams are using AI now. Nothing in the actual business has changed.If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.Lewis Maleh runs Bentley Lewis, a global executive searchfirm with team members in London, the US, Europe, Tokyo and Mumbai.He's one of the few founders I've spoken to who's moved past "the team uses ChatGPT" and built AI properly into how the firm operates. Which is a different conversation entirely.A few things you'll hear:✅ Meet Nina, the AI agent on Lewis's team.✅ What happens when you send your AI avatar to an interview✅ How he is now building internal apps without writing a line of code, using voice-to-text and Claude✅ The split in the recruitment market between AI-screened entry level and 100% sourced executive search✅ How his team has learnt and grown together with technologyI came away from this one thinking about the difference between having AI in your business and AI being in the business. They're not the same thing, and the gap between them is where most firms are stuck.Connect with Lewis:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lmaleh/X: https://x.com/lewismaleh?s=20Website: https://bentleylewis.com"The Recruitment Show with Lewis Maleh" podcast is available on Apple, Spotify and YouTube: https://linktr.ee/BentleyLewisTimestamps:00:00 Introduction to AI Leadership01:38 The Evolution of Recruitment03:29 The Journey of Bentley Lewis06:14 Adapting to Remote Work09:48 The Impact of AI on Recruitment11:27 Networking in the Age of AI15:14 The Future of Work and AI19:40 Navigating Job Market Changes22:28 Exploring AI Tools and Their Impact27:10 The Evolution of AI in Business32:02 Building and Utilizing AI Agents36:03 Investing in Team Development and Networking37:32 Three ThingsGet your copy of the Multiply Method ✖️It's a FREE roadmap walking you through how to multiply the capabilities of your people and your business with AI.www.theaileaderlab.com/roadmapConnect with Martin:Websites: www.theaileaderlab.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/martinjwheatleySubscribe to The Frontier Leader Show wherever you listen to podcasts.
