How data, automation, and identity verification are reshaping modern recruiting with Daxtra
This series was recorded live at HR Tech 2025 inside the HR Executive studios on the expo floor in partnership with the WRKdefined Podcast Network. Make sure you’re subscribed to the full series and visit HRExecutive.com for the news, analysis, and insights shaping the future of work.
Recruiting is moving faster than most teams can keep up with. AI isn’t a side feature anymore. It’s the engine. And companies that refuse to test it are holding themselves back in real time. Don Tomlinson steps into that gap with a point of view that’s hard to ignore. Daxtra isn’t “just a parser” anymore. They’re operating at a scale that makes you rethink the entire funnel. When you’re parsing 120 million resumes a month, you stop guessing about what the market is doing. You start seeing patterns before everyone else, and that kind of visibility forces better decisions, cleaner workflows, and more accountability across the board.
In this episode we talk about AI, HR Tech, recruitment, identity verification, data quality, automation, screening, candidate engagement, and the future of personalized recruiting. Don walks through Daxtra’s evolution, why explainability matters, and what’s about to break next in the hiring process.
