Most hiring still starts with a resume. Jason P. Carroll says that's the problem, not the solution.

Jason grew a company from $20M to $80M before building Aptive Index, a behavioral intelligence platform that replaces resume screening with validated science. In this episode, he and Josh break down why formal education and work history predict almost nothing about job performance, what behavioral data actually reveals, and how one CEO used Jason's AI to resolve a team conflict in five minutes that management couldn't crack for months.

Key takeaways:

• Why DISC and MBTI lack scientific rigor and what assessments actually predict performance
• What behavioral descriptive interview questions are and why they outperform everything else
• How Aptiv Index writes job descriptions that repel the wrong candidates and surface hidden talent
• Why your best candidate already applied and you probably said no
• The real cost of a bad hire and why avoiding one pays for the platform for five to ten years
• How HR teams are using this to finally have a concrete AI initiative they can own
