Every recruiter knows the feeling. A thousand applications land overnight, every resume polished by ChatGPT, and somewhere in that pile are 20 people actually worth talking to. Ophir Samson built Ezra AI Labs to solve that exact problem, an AI interviewer that speaks to every candidate by voice, asks detailed follow-up questions trained on 200 talent experts, and surfaces the people who deserve a real conversation. One customer hired a senior engineer who had no degree, no recognizable company logos, and would have been invisible on paper. Ezra spotted him. Four recruiters couldn't spot a deepfake candidate. Ezra caught that too.
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Ophir Samson about why voice is the most natural and trustworthy interface for evaluating talent, how Ezra trains on your company culture before it talks to a single applicant, and why his team is building AI that doesn't replace recruiters but instead gives them back the time to build real human relationships. Ophir also shares his background as a professional magician and why studying misdirection taught him that visual cues during interviews are mostly noise.
