What happens when a lawyer pivots into Talent Acquisition and ends up leading it for a fast-growing ERP and CRM company serving government contractors and construction firms?
In this episode of the 2Talented Podcast, we sit down with Nick Larche, VP of Talent at Unanet, to talk about career reinvention, scaling talent inside a specialized software company, and how AI is reshaping recruiting in real time.
Nick shares his unconventional path from law into recruiting, how Unanet has grown, and why talent acquisition has become a strategic function at the executive level. We dive into the evolving role of AI in hiring — what’s working, what’s overhyped, and where the human element still wins every time.
We also cover:
How AI tools are helping recruiters manage massive applicant flow
Why maintaining relationships with candidates (even the “no’s”) matters more than ever
How candidates are already experiencing AI in interviews
Smart ways recruiters and job seekers can leverage AI to improve outcomes
The importance of continuous learning (including a few book recommendations)
If you’re a hiring manager, recruiter, government contractor, construction leader, or job seeker trying to understand where hiring is headed in the AI age — this one’s for you.
At 2Talented, we believe great hiring isn’t about transactions. It’s about relationships, adaptability, and staying sharp in a changing market.
Let’s get into it.
