A lot of bad things… As complex as recruiting is as a whole, the interview process  holds the key to a successful hire. But it also brings serious challenges.For example, in an online interview, recruiters today might stumble upon a proxy interview —candidates lip-syncing while someone else speaks from the dark corner of the room. Neglecting red flags like this can lead to wasted resources, brand damage, and ultimately, high turnover rates. To avoid bad outcomes, recruiters m

This shift is reshaping how talent acquisition teams work, helping them save time and improve candidate quality. AI is no longer a futuristic concept in recruitment. It has become a practical tool that supports recruiters every day. This post explores how

Hiring starts with a conversation. The Hidden Cost in Hiring: Conversation Scarcity Most teams don’t suffer from a “profile shortage.” They suffer from a conversation s

(A deep look at the real pains of sourcing, screening and outreach — and what teams are actually trying next.)
