Burnout is showing up like a bad roommate — always around, always making noise, and never cleaning up. And somehow, we’re all pretending it’s normal. I recently sat down with Kat Kibben, founder of Three Ears Media, LinkedIn Top Voice, and author of The Bounce Back Factor. We cracked open this whole burnout mess. It wasn’t just theory or advice from… Read more »
Most AI tools in recruiting feel like beta tests someone forgot to finish. Not this one. LinkedIn just dropped real, usable upgrades to its Hiring Assistant—and it shows what work recruiters actually need help with. Johnny Campbell, CEO of SocialTalent, was at Talent Connect in San Diego and broke down the announcement in a way… Read more »
I’ve seen a lot of job description messes in my time. But nothing makes me cringe more than a Word doc passed around like a hot potato. Edit here, comment there, wait for approval…repeat. One of our insurance clients was stuck in that loop…until they weren’t. That’s where our custom job post workflow feature in… Read more »
RecFest Nashville 2025 didn’t bring flying cars or Jetsons tech, but it did bring real talk and 100% honesty from the presenters and attendees. I spent two full days immersed in Nashville’s beautiful chaos, bouncing between Disrupt, Inspire, and Unplugged stages. Here’s my play-by-play of what stood out and what I’m still thinking about. RecFest… Read more »
Every HR pro wants to know what AI will do to their job. The truth? No one really knows. I was just at dinner last night with a partner, and we both admitted we’re all making this up as we go. But here’s what I do know: AI in HR isn’t some far-off thing anymore…. Read more »
I talked to a recruiter who’s doing the work of three people—and doing it well. He’s juggling hundreds of employees, dozens of competitors, and still finding time to think about strategy. Wild. This guy’s not looking for sympathy. He’s looking for time. Because even the best recruiters can’t make more of that. So when you… Read more »
The 9-to-5 is dead. And the future of job descriptions better reflect it—or you’ll lose the people who need (and deserve) more flexibility. This idea hit home for me when my good friend and Ongig writer, Sarah Akida, sent me an Instagram post about “microshifting.” It led to this Forbes article that nailed exactly what… Read more »
HR leaders have long sought data-driven talent strategies, but organizational data has often been disconnected, outdated, and incomplete. Today, AI-powered workforce intelligence unifies people, skills, roles, and tasks, giving HR teams the insights they need to move beyond administration and strategically design the workforce of the future. From Guesswork to Evidence-Based Strategy Traditional talent strategy… Read more »
This Reddit thread from a frustrated hiring manager got our attention — and for good reason. It’s a raw look into what happens when job descriptions, interviews, and resume reviews are all duct-taped together. We’ve seen it too many times — a hiring manager overwhelmed, recruiters out of sync, and job descriptions scattered across 17… Read more »
A client of ours got asked to “do a quick job description survey” before a big rewrite project. They laughed. Not out loud, but in their head. Because there’s no such thing as quick when you’re staring at a pile of thousands of messy, outdated job descriptions. If you’re in HR or TA, you probably… Read more »
If your job description had a voice, it probably wouldn’t say what you think it would. It might whisper, “We don’t really know what we want,” or shout, “We copied this from somewhere else!” Job descriptions are one of the most public ways your company speaks to the world. And yet, so many of them… Read more »
You thought you had a tech problem. Turns out, you’ve got a people problem — and a tech stack that doesn’t talk to itself. I’ve seen it too many times. A recruiter updates a job title in Workday. The change doesn’t show up on the career site. Candidates see conflicting info and bounce. TA blames… Read more »
If you thought HR tech was already weird, buckle up. A startup called Juicebox just landed $30 million, and Google’s quietly turning Chrome into your next boss. I cracked open the latest Chad & Cheese episode expecting the usual chaos, and they delivered. From a Marvin Gaye-infused rant on the state of the world to… Read more »
I love a good shortcut. And the new ChatGPT for HR resource from OpenAI? That’s a treasure map for HR pros looking to get more done with less time. It’s got solid prompts for onboarding, performance reviews, and even DEI support. But you know what’s missing? A scalable game plan for job descriptions. Why Job… Read more »
I first heard about Willo at RecFest UK. I sat in on a panel they did with Amazon, and I was hooked. The vibe, the mission, the way they talked about candidate experience…it just clicked for me. And now, Willo’s raised $4 million to scale even faster. That’s huge. A major congrats to the entire… Read more »
