Adam Viet shared thisHad a great discussion with Justin Brady on the IowaPodcast.com this week. AI in the hiring process has its positives, but it definitely can come with some negative effects as well. We dive into it all!Adam Viet shared thisWho's hiring who? Ai is screening resumes but is that good or bad for candidates and companies? Adam Viet of Big Creek Growth pulls back the curtain on broken HR processes and how Ai could help companies recruit better, but could just as easily hurt recruiting if CHROs aren't careful. WATCH: https://lnkd.in/gNXeWjQS For years, recruiters have used machine learning to scan through resumes due to the volume of resumes they receive. But the discussion centers on the reason for the high volume, which is poorly written, vague job descriptions. Will recruiters use Ai to write better job descriptions and communicate better, or will they simply use it to further remove the most precious resource they have: the human? 💡 Show Page: https://lnkd.in/gDSnpMtE ⚖️ Get guidance from Dentons Davis Brown: https://lnkd.in/ggPX3h-R 🐖 Get a free $30 gift card from Jethro's BBQ: iowapodcast.com/jethrosbbqWho's hiring who?

Adam Viet shared thisIn this week's issues of The Big Creek Briefing. The AI agent economy stopped being theoretical. Anthropic shipped 10 finance agents. Salesforce went headless for agents. OpenAI raised $122B. But the number every founder should care about: 68% of small businesses now use AI regularly, and 91% report revenue gains. Check out the issue and subscribe here.

Adam Viet liked thisAdam Viet liked thisThis picture was taken exactly 1️⃣ year ago. This was one month after officially being in business for myself. This was to celebrate us. The support and encouragement we provided eachother during the time of the unknown. This was also the day I had not only 1 but 2 offers out and were instantly accepted! My first official offers out and billing to my company! I now have partnered with a dozen companies to elevate their business by finding their next great hire! The revenue is amazing, my work life pendulum is even better, and my partnerships are next tier! Let’s keep growing! #recruiter #empowerintalent

Adam Viet reacted on thisA new chapter begins. NAWBO Iowa has officially installed its 2026-2027 leadership team — and I couldn't be more proud of this group of women stepping up at such a critical moment. Iowa ranks 47th in the nation for women-owned business growth and economic impact. That stat doesn't sit well with any of us on this board, and it's exactly why the work matters. This year I'm moving into the Past President role, and while handing over the gavel is bittersweet, I couldn't be leaving it in better hands. Grateful for every woman in this organization who shows up, advocates, connects, and refuses to let Iowa stay at 47. Congratulations to the full 2026-2027 board: President: Rachel Formaro, Collabry Past President: Mollie Frideres, MFS HR Solutions Secretary: Janice Marquardt, Passwall Solutions Treasurer: Penny Schmidt CFP®, Fiduciary , Fee-only, Advisor, Fincl Planner, Apella Wealth Director of Advocacy: Char Austin, eXp Realty Director of Advocacy: Rebekah Brandmeyer, PMP, Elevated Strategies Director of Communications: Alexson Calahan, APR, Small Adventures Communications Director of Corporate Partners: Kimberly Baeth, Cutting Edge Success Director of Membership: Karla Rendall, 2 KOKO, LLC Director of Programs: Joy Greer, Peel Business Design Here's to a big year of big moves for Iowa Women in Business! #NAWBO #NAWBOIowa #WomenInBusiness #WomenEntrepreneurs #Leadership #WomenOwnedBusiness #IowaAdam Viet reacted on this"Women are building businesses despite significant barriers, and Iowa has an opportunity to become a state where women entrepreneurs don't just succeed in spite of the system, but because of it. We intend to be part of driving that change,” said Rachel Formaro, president of NAWBO Iowa and founder and CEO of Collabry. The ‘26-’27 NAWBO Iowa Board of Directors takes the helm at a critical moment for Iowa women entrepreneurs. Find out more: https://buff.ly/qQBprsc

Adam Viet reacted on thisAdam Viet reacted on thisI've been building my own CRM - more accurately...a "today" tool. Working with Claude to pull together clients, deals, and the actual work in front of me into one place I can act from every day. It's not finished, probably never will be. But it's already changed how I work in one specific way: the CRM side. Follow-ups, relationship tracking, staying on top of who I haven't talked to. That part works. Its also been fun learning how AI tools work, how they can be helpful and interact with the "real world". If your are at all AI curious - do something. Organize your photos, build a chat app, make a app that you need...something. What have you been building?
