The Key to Agentic Recruiting w/ Luke Switkowski

Luke Switkowski is the CEO of Rooster. He sat down to talk about innovation in RecOps, like how automation can reduce manual interview coordination while introducing visibility into recruiting workflows with better data for modern recruiting teams.We covered how metrics, such as reschedule rates and time to schedule, can reveal deeper organizational issues beyond tooling. And also touched on the limits of automation in candidate interactions, the role of recruiting operations as a discipline, and how incremental process improvements can influence hiring outcomes over time. Rooster is positioned as an infrastructure layer that integrates with existing systems to automate scheduling logistics and surface data on process breakdowns. It eliminates back-and-forth and gives recruiters and candidates a clean self-scheduling experience.
