In this week's #DataTalk, we talked with Kristen Hammilton, CEO & Founder of Koru, about the future of recruitment using predictive hiring. This is going to be a very exciting chat because we're talking about AI and how it's helping recruiters find the right candidates for jobs, and it's actually a fascinating field. Has to do with prediction, has to do with artificial intelligence, and I'm very excited to talk to Kristen Hamilton, who is the CEO and co-founder of a company called Koru, based in Seattle, and Kristen, great to have you on our show today. Kristen: Michael, it's really great to be here, thanks. Mike: So Kristen, can you kind of tell us about your journey that brought you into working in data science? I think every entrepreneurial journey starts with a problem that you've become impassioned with, that you really can't sleep well at night until you figure out how to solve. And the challenge that we initially started facing was actually the gap between education and employment.
