Swipe right For Talent - 07

Most AI recruiting startups launching today won't survive two years. Not because AI is wrong for recruitment — but because they're missing the two things that actually matter: Domain and Data.

In this episode of Swipe Right for Talent, Gautam Sinha (CEO, CBREX — Built India's First Tech RPO) breaks down:

1. Why the AI startup explosion in recruiting is both exciting and dangerous

2. The Two Ds framework: what separates real recruiting AI from glorified ChatGPT wrappers

3. How CBREX's candidate universe is fundamentally different from LinkedIn and job boards

4. Why 100–1000 person companies actually have the worst deal in hiring — and what fixes it

5. How Indian companies are going global, and what "one interface, 31 countries" actually looks like in practice

If you're a TA leader, founder, or anyone building in the recruiting space — this conversation cuts through the noise.
