# Jens Echterling
CPO at HeyJobs bridging AI automation and human connection in recruiting.

## About

Jens Echterling builds product strategy as the Chief Product Officer at HeyJobs. He focuses on modern talent acquisition, specifically how automation can handle the heavy lifting while humans focus on connection.

His work explores how algorithms can direct budget allocation, generate job ads, and initially screen candidates. By automating these repetitive workflows, he helps companies leave the nuanced work of recruiting—and creating a strong candidate experience—to human intuition.
