The New Year Reset: Delete Your HR Tech and Start Over with William Tincup | Workplace Weirdness S2 E9

What happens when someone actually tells the truth about Human Resources, recruiting, and HR tech?

In this episode of Workplace Weirdness, Maya Kadar Kovalsky sits down with HR industry truth-teller William Tincup for an honest, open and unfiltered conversation about feedback, broken HR systems, AI hype, onboarding failures, and why most HR tech is solving last year’s problems.

William shares why he once told a founder to delete their entire product, why positive feedback is overrated, and why HR leaders don’t care how your tech works- only whether it works.

We cover:

  • Why unsolicited feedback is often useless

  • The real problem with HR tech and AI

  • What onboarding should actually feel like

  • Why skills now expire faster than milk

  • How leaders should think about talent, growth, and discomfort

If you work in HR, lead people, sell HR tech, or just enjoy uncomfortable workplace truths- this one’s for you.
