## Summary

Doug Hamilton created an AI Tech Stack Tracker for Klaviyo’s Talent Acquisition team. The system polls more than a dozen AI tools each hour, uses Claude to translate changelogs into plain‑language relevance, and delivers a weekly, role‑personalized digest in Slack. A “Try it out” button sends a custom guide, while a “Share a Win” flow broadcasts successful workflows to the whole team. All data moves through Zapier, which also routes tool requests, logs project outcomes, and raises alerts when failures occur.

In the first 90 days the tracker generated 314 real updates, 61% of which included role‑tailored guidance. Workshops taught 80% of the 50‑person team to use Zapier, and in three months they built 57 new workflows, saving the team more than 30 hours each month. Examples include an automated referral process that cuts about an hour per candidate and a workflow that aligns recruiters with hiring managers earlier in the search, reducing back‑and‑forth delays.

## Key points

- Tracker delivered 314 updates in 90 days, with 61% role‑tailored guidance.
- Team built 57 workflows in three months, saving over 30 hours per month.
- 80% of the 50‑person talent team now hold Zapier seats and run daily workflows.

## Why it matters

The case shows how AI‑driven monitoring and low‑code automation can turn rapid tool changes into measurable productivity gains for recruiting, a template other enterprises can replicate.
