New podcast explores the decisions behind hiring, career advancement, and building successful teams.
LOS ANGELES, Calif., October 16, 2026 – HIRECLOUT, an award-winning Technology & GTM Recruiting and Consulting firm, announces the launch of HIRE Calling, a new podcast hosted by Founder & CEO Avetis Antaplyan. Launched October 15, the podcast draws on nearly two decades of recruiting experience to explore how hiring and leadership decisions shape careers and business success.
HIRE Calling brings listeners to both sides of the hiring table. Designed for professionals seeking career advancement and leaders building successful teams, the podcast examines what influences decisions about who gets hired, promoted, trusted with greater responsibility, or passed over.
“Career advice usually tells people what they should do but rarely reveals what’s happening on the other side of the table,” said Antaplyan. “I wanted to open up those conversations so people can better understand how to get hired, grow, lead, and build successful teams.”
The premiere episode features Kirk Cartozian, entrepreneur, former mayor of Downey, and business leader behind Tequila Mandala and Gaucho Grill. Their conversation explores unconventional career paths, leadership, identifying high performers, and human ingenuity in an AI-driven economy.
Antaplyan also hosts The Tech Leader’s Playbook, a podcast focused on technology, innovation, and leadership.
