Andrew Greenstein

Named to TIME’s inaugural AI 100 list, Nancy Xu is an AI innovator who worked on early foundation models at Stanford’s AI Lab before founding Moonhub. It’s here where she’s revolutionizing recruiting with AI-powered assistants. But Moonhub didn’t start as an AI company. Nancy reveals invaluable insights she learned from her company’s early days as a traditional recruiting agency, explaining how these lessons fueled an AI recruiter that frees human recruiters from manual, repetitive tasks like candidate sourcing and outreach. She argues that AI will revolutionize hiring efficiency while empowering career mobility and purpose. Workers will get greater access to job opportunities. Recruiters will be able to source larger, more diverse talent pools and focus on building meaningful candidate relationships. And companies will save time and money. Nancy also shares her optimism for our AI-assisted future, making a pragmatic call for policies and training programs to ensure a smooth transition into this transformative era.
