Why a Trusted Recruiting Partner Matters More Than Ever in the Age of AI
AI advances are coming out at a pace that’s almost hard to keep up with, and I understand why so many companies are tempted to bring recruiting in-house right now. For simpler, lower-level positions, that instinct can genuinely make sense. But as the requirements get more complex, or the experience level climbs, I think the […]
The 2 primary ecosystems most important to my work just crossed the same line, and I don’t think enough people are talking about what it means for talent.
The 2 primary ecosystems most important to my work just crossed the same line, and I don’t think enough people are talking about what it means for talent. Oracle is rolling out NetSuite Next across North America right now. Ask Oracle answers questions in plain English instead of making users build saved searches. AI Canvas […]
Velosio’s Kopis * Acuitias Acquisitions are another sign the Microsoft Partner channel is Consolidating-What does it mean
Velosio’s Kopis and Acuitas Acquisitions Are Another Sign the Microsoft Partner Channel Is Consolidating Velosio announced two acquisitions on July 1: the commercial, non-government assets of Kopis, an Azure and Business Central firm out of Greenville, South Carolina, and Acuitas, a 20-plus year Dynamics consultancy serving Business Central, Dynamics 365 CRM, and legacy ERP platforms […]
What happens when your Partner of Record gets acquired? Do you need to start all over…….
The Dynamics channel keeps consolidating, and in my opinion, most people are watching the wrong thing. Every few weeks another implementation partner gets bought. Innovia absorbed two industry players earlier this year, while PE money keeps pouring into the channel, an example being Bain into Sikich, roll-up after roll-up. All of the headlines seem to […]
I’m giving my own busywork to AI- am I a lier?
Earlier this week, I argued that you can’t screen your way to AI experience that barely exists yet. Here is the flip side I’m experiencing. I spent the last few months automating big parts of my own recruiting business with AI, and the surprise was this: it made the human side of the job matter […]
Stop screening for AI experience- It doesn’t exist!
Stop screening for AI experience. In 2026, almost nobody actually has it yet! I keep seeing hands-on AI experience climb toward the top of job descriptions for senior NetSuite and Dynamics roles, and I understand the instinct. But I push back on it, and I think the reason matters for anyone hiring in our space […]
What the latest funding rounds in within the Dynamics and NetSuite communities really mean
Two funding rounds crossed my desk this week that I think every Dynamics and NetSuite professional should pay attention to, even though neither company directly touches our stack. Conduct, a two-year-old London startup, raised a $60 million Series A to ingest enterprise system code and configurations, map the business logic underneath, and generate the changes […]
Every RIF this year seems to come with the excuse that it is because of AI..I’m not buying it
Every layoff and RIF this year seems to come with the excuse that it is because of AI. I have placed Dynamics and NetSuite talent for more than twenty-five years, and I do not buy it; increasingly, neither do the people in the Microsoft Dynamics & NetSuite communities, as well as the overall technology space. […]

AI Did Not Cut Those Jobs. Overhiring Did. And That Changes Who You Should Be Hiring Next.
I have placed Microsoft Dynamics and NetSuite talent for more than twenty-five years, and I have never watched two letters do this much work in a press release. Every workforce reduction this year seems to arrive wrapped in the same explanation, and that explanation is almost always “AI.” As I have verbally been telling candidates […]
