Portrait of Radu Stoian

Radu Stoian

Transforming Talent Attraction by helping employers move from being found by search engines to being recommended by AI.

Woking / Guildford, United Kingdom

As the Technical Director at Enhance Media, I provide the strategic leadership and digital infrastructure that help employers capitalise on the shift to Agentic AI. From building a proprietary AI Brand Health Audit product to deploying smart careers sites, I deliver results that help employers attract the talent they need to drive their businesses into the future.

My goal is simple: to help employers move from being ‘found’ by search engines to being ‘recommended’ by AI.

My approach centres on an Organic First Talent Attraction Strategy, anticipating the shift in candidate behaviour towards AI driven job search. By aligning talent acquisition strategies with emerging agentic AI experiences, including Google's Career Dreamer and ChatGPT Jobs, I ensure organisations aren't just broadly visible, but contextually and deeply relevant across the entire candidate journey.

My expertise spans AI, SEO, Performance Marketing, Web Development, and Google Cloud. This technical breadth lets me build data-driven strategies backed by a deep understanding of how digital marketing and user behaviour intersect.

Clients and colleagues know me as someone who won’t take “it can’t be done” as an answer. If there’s a way to improve performance, I’ll find it. If there isn’t an established way to do something, I’ll innovate.

Areas of expertise

Pioneering the Agentic AI era

I don’t just explore AI, I build the tools to manage it. I conceptualised and launched the AI Brand Health Audit, a solution to the ‘black box’ problem of Generative AI, letting organisations measure, benchmark, and control their brand narrative in LLMs.

Digital strategy & technical SEO

Building data-driven strategies on strong technical foundations to drive measurable success for employers.

Next-gen careers sites

Leading the deployment of innovative, smart careers sites, advanced job detail pages and automated Job Hubs that personalise the candidate journey and capture long-tail search traffic.

Mentorship & industry advocacy

Training and upskilling the next generation of digital leaders, and elevating industry standards through public speaking and knowledge sharing, including masterclasses at BrightonSEO.
