Hiring in the AI Era | What Founders Need to Know
AI has changed what a great hire looks like - and how you should assess them.
Join Novabook and Jumpstart for a practical session on using AI to run a better hiring process and spotting candidates who can genuinely use AI to work faster and better.
You’ll see what this looks like in practice from Matthew Sarre, Co-founder of Jumpstart, including lessons from screening around 30,000 applications a year.
What you’ll get
A practical framework for using AI in your hiring funnel – and knowing where human judgement still matters
Better ways to test AI fluency in Founder Associate, ops, sales and marketing candidates
Interview questions and case-study approaches that reveal judgement rather than prompting ability
A behind-the-scenes look at Jumpstart’s hiring process, based on around 30,000 applications a year
Common AI hiring mistakes to avoid – from generic AI interviews to unreliable AI detection
Live Q&A
Who it’s for
Built for startup founders and operators who are:
Hiring Founder Associates, ops, sales, marketing or other generalist roles
Trying to work out what “AI fluent” actually means when assessing candidates
Already seeing candidates use AI in applications and case studies
Looking to make hiring faster without lowering the quality bar
Reconsidering how they run interviews or take-home tasks in the AI era
This isn’t a technical AI hiring session. We’re focused on the generalist hires most early-stage startups are actually making.
