The Staffing Show — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 17:44:18 +0000

AI is all the hype at the moment, and in recruitment, it’s obvious that it needs to be used, but how it should be used is not as clear. Today on The Staffing Show, we welcome the president and COO of Uniti Med and GQR Healthcare, Chris Sund, and the head of software solutions, technology, and trading at GQR Healthcare, Holly Stewart, to discuss how you can use AI to impact your business and how their new AI recruitment platform, Nebula, can help you do that.

We delve into where recruiting needs human relationships and why those areas should never be automated, before discussing how agencies can get the most out of Nebula and how they are making the adoption of this tool easier for recruiters. Finally, our guests share their thoughts on the future of agencies that make use of AI tools versus those that don’t. Thanks for listening.

He explains how the industry has evolved from traditional territory-based franchising, what’s broken in the classic staffing franchise playbook, and how NEXTAFF’s virtual model dramatically lowers startup costs and risk.
