Episode 80 - How Quil Is Saving Recruiters Several Hours a Week | Ryan Frampton on AI & the Future of Staffing In this episode, we head down the road into how AI is transforming the recruiting world, with none other than Ryan Frampton, co-founder of Quil. From scaling sales teams to accidentally pivoting into the staffing industry, Ryan shares the surprising origin story of Quil and how it's now automating everything from note-taking to CRM and ATS updates across 16 different countries. Learn why recruiters are embracing AI not to replace people, but to encourage relationship-building.

Whether you're skeptical about AI or searching for that one tech fix that’ll give you back your time, this conversation delivers tons of value you can’t afford to miss.

Connect with Suky: I’m Suky an adrenaline junkie who celebrates every single win. I believe we must celebrate and collect all our wins along the way as it fuels forward momentum to ensure we exceed our goals. When we fuel forward momentum, complacency simply can not settle in.
With over 25 years of experience working in the staffing industry, 16 of those working with global recruitment companies, I bring the knowledge and experience of working in 18 countries and successfully navigating through numerous “recession” cycles.
Companies often get so focused on the bottom line that they forget that we are in the “people business”. For me, the magic happens when my clients recognize the best way to create a truly sustainable high-performance sales culture is to align both.
