Adam Godson, formerly CEO of Paradox and now VP of Talent Acquisition at Workday, explained AI hiring reimagination on February 13, 2026. Paradox slashed time to hire from 21 days to 3 days for fast food restaurants by removing unnecessary process steps. The company started with chatbots for recruitment and evolved to conversational AI for candidate experience. Godson met at Workday Illuminate London 2026 to discuss the approach. Workday acquired Paradox in fall 2025 to expand into frontline worker markets.
