GG is currently focused on experimenting with conversational data of candidates with recruiters to build an experience zone for talent scouting for role change and businesses searching for talent. He sees artificial intelligence playing a key role in addressing the challenges faced by candidates and recruiters, such as not hearing back from employers, reviewing bad traffic of applicants, and losing interest in applying for a role after a few clicks at the career page. GG's vision is to leverage social footprints rather than resumes to strengthen talent brands and bridge the gap between talent and businesses.
