Season 5 | Ep 11 – Adrian Kinnersley on building TwentyAI based on core values that go against the classic recruitment agency!
On the final episode of 2021, I was delighted to be joined by Adrian Kinnersley.
Adrian is the Founder & CEO of TwentAI, headquartered in London with offices in New York, Charlotte, and Austin US.
Launched in the middle of the global financial crisis, Adrian was certain he wanted to build a brand he could be proud of. He’d already worked for a number of traditional recruitment agencies and wanted to do things his way!
Now happily living in the USA and operating remotely, in this episode we discussed:
- What he disliked about other recruitment agencies
- His startup journey
- The decision to launch in the USA – albeit a little too early
- Life during the pandemic
- How they are using AI to their advantage
A genuine guy with a no nonsense attitude, what a way to finish 2021!Thank you so much to everyone who has tuned in to our biggest year yet – we will be back in January 2022 with more episodes.
