5 Must Have Agents for TA w/ David Weinstock
LIVE from the Recfest USA stage in Nashville!
David Weinstock is a modern Talent Acquisition leader who actually unlocks value by fixing how companies hire, not just adding more process.
As VP of Talent Acquisition at New Story, he leads talent strategy across 16 very different companies. Before that, he built and scaled TA at Hopebridge, one of the largest ABA providers in the country supporting 7,500 hires a year across 125 locations.
David’s specialty is taking messy, scattered recruiting operations and turning them into high-performing, data-powered machines. He’s led major ATS + CRM implementations, rebuilt TA org structures, refined recruitment marketing spend, and made analytics a core part of how decisions get made.
Outside of his day-to-day work, David advises multiple recruiting tech companies helping shape product and go-to-market direction from the point of view of an operator who’s lived it.

Will SAP and Workday Go Amazon?
In this episode, we ask if SAP + SmartRecruiters and/or Workday + Paradox can go FULL Amazon and collapse candidate friction into instant conversion, while LinkedIn and Indeed go to war over who actually owns the hiring assistant era.
And Handshake? They’re pivoting into AI trainer labor like Mercor because the real money is in feeding the machines now.
Watching business models shift where conversational AI becomes the UI… and the revenue engine.
Hold on. This one’s bumpy.

Fighting Job Seeker Fraud
High-volume recruiting is officially in its “everything is on fire” era. Applicant fraud is exploding. Screening is eating recruiter calendars alive. And scaling sourcing without torching your team? Good luck doing that manually in 2025 and beyond.
So we’re bringing in the people who actually lived it… not analyst fantasy land.
In this session — leaders from Rippling, Phantom, Foley and more break down the pain they actually felt, the bad solutions they tried first, and how they finally got ahead of the chaos.
You’ll hear exactly how the speakers have taken a native approach in catching fraud before it infects pipelines, shrink screening overhead, and put recruiter time back into outbound sourcing where it actually moves the needle — not “spreadsheet archaeology.”
Speakers include:
Vijay Mani — Co-Founder & CEO, Covey
Jay Patel — Sr Director Talent, Rippling (ex DoorDash)
Laura Stapleton — VP People, Foley (ex Engine)
Derrick Gellidon — Head of Talent, Phantom (ex Lyft, Instacart)
And yes… Chad & Cheese stirring the bourbon into the chaos.
Everything people and workforce—recruiting, marketing, technology, talent management, and workforce economics—delivered with biting sarcasm and unapologetic snark. Industry misfits Chad Sowash and Joel Cheesman bring their no-holds-barred opinions to dissect news, trends, and the occasional dumpster fire. If you’re a hiring company, staffing firm, or vendor looking for insights (and a thick skin), these two won’t just tell you what’s happening—they’ll tell you why you’re probably doing it wrong. Buckle up, buttercup.
