THE MIXED GRILL - Industry Icks, LinkedIn Chaos & Post-Curry Wisdom – Curry Club After Dark

Welcome back to The Mixed Grill, the official podcast of the Recruitment Curry Club hosted by Nitin Sharma and Bobby Banerjee — where recruitment chat meets curry-fuelled chaos.Fresh out of a Diwali dinner in Northwest London, Nitin and Bobby jump into the car for a late-night debrief and dive head-first into the spicy stuff recruiters don’t usually say out loud.Here’s what they dig into:Recruitment “icks” — from junior recruiters’ cringe LinkedIn clichés to Wolf of Wall Street wannabe leaders still stuck in 2010.TA vs Agency — who actually has the harder job? And why the conversation has more layers than a perfectly made biryani.AI Nonsense & Cash-Grab Vendors — calling out the companies flogging AI as a magic silver bullet while selling solutions with a 6-month shelf life.Mediocrity in Recruitment — shortcuts, quick wins, lazy posting, and why the industry deserves better.LinkedIn Over-Personalisation — from “Hey, we both breathe air!” DMs to the awkward oversharing epidemic.Future-Proofing Recruitment — 360 vs 180 models, skill gaps, operating models, and what the industry actually needs to survive to 2030 and beyond.Diwali, family culture, tanning, old Facebook memories, hangovers (or lack of them) — and other wonderfully chaotic tangents that only a post-curry recording can deliver.Fun, raw, opinionated — and very, very Mixed Grill.Who This Episode Is ForRecruiters who love the industry but can’t stand its nonsense.Talent Acquisition pros who want their seat at the table respected.Founders and recruitment leaders trying to modernise their operating model.Anyone confused (or exhausted) by the current AI hype cycle.LinkedIn warriors who need a gentle nudge to stop oversharing.Fans of casual, funny, no-BS chat after a good curry.🔗 Connect with the hostsBobby Banerjee: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobbybanerjee/Nitin Sharma: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nitin-rectools/Get your fill of curry, banter, and brilliant recruitment minds at The Recruitment Curry Club:https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-recruitment-curry-club/Look out for more episodes of The Mixed Grill dropping on Thursdays.Listen on another platform: https://rectalk.co.uk/#TheMixedGrill #RecTalk #RecruitmentCurryClub #RecruitmentPodcast #RecruitmentLife #TalentAcquisition #RecruitmentIcks #LinkedInFails #AIinRecruitment #FutureOfRecruitment #NitinSharma #BobbyBanerjee
