You can’t automate empathy—and that’s the difference. In this episode, recorded live at isolved Connect in Chicago, industry veteran Pamela Stroko joins William Tincup to talk truth in HR tech. With over two decades across Oracle, analyst firms, and practitioner trenches, Pamela cuts through the noise around AI, hiring mistakes, and vendor hype. She shares lessons from launching The Five Talents That Matter podcast series, what 300,000 listens taught her about real talent signals, and why most companies are still getting hiring wrong—by design. From her earliest days in HR to her sharpest critiques of today’s tech landscape, Pamela makes one thing clear: connection still wins.
