Trent Cotton

Disrupting Human Capital: One Microphone at a Time

Not your average HR suit, Trent Cotton serves as Vice President of Talent and Culture at HatchWorks AI, where he's spent two decades demolishing the status quo of human capital management.

At HatchWorks, he doesn't just "oversee people"—he architects the systems that transform ordinary employees into extraordinary assets through ruthlessly innovative recruitment, retention, and development strategies.

A provocateur in the Human Capital space, Trent challenges audiences nationwide on HR analytics, data-driven decision making, and the AI revolution transforming our industry. His books Sprint Recruiting: Innovate, Iterate, Accelerate and High-Performance Recruiting aren't just titles on a shelf—they're manifestos for the Agile takeover of talent acquisition.

When he's not pushing HR leaders past their comfort zones, Trent mentors the next generation of Human Capitalists who refuse to accept outdated paradigms. His podcast, The Human Capitalist, serves as a platform for the bold voices reshaping our industry's future.
