Ep. 40: Aaron Wang,Co-Founder & CEO of Alex AI, Automating Recruiting Without Losing the Human Touch

Written By Karina Jimenez

Aaron Wang, Co-Founder & CEO of Alex AI, joins Cesar Jimenez to unpack what an “AI recruiter” actually does for staffing firms and employers: screening, phone/video interviews, scheduling, sourcing, and matching inside the ATS. Aaron shares how his immigrant upbringing shaped his risk tolerance, why he left quant trading to build in the job market, and what it takes to scale a startup at speed. They also cover how recruiters evolve into more strategic talent advisors, how to drive adoption without pushback, and why “make the bet” matters in a fast-moving market.
