Recruiters have more technology than ever, yet candidates are still wondering if anyone has even seen their applications. If AI is supposed to make hiring easier, why does the process still feel so hard for the people going through it? That question came up when I sat down with Aaron Tittsworth, also known as the… Read more »

Recruiting has gone from faxed resumes and Rolodexes to AI tools that can do almost everything. We’re moving faster than ever, but are we actually hiring better?

Read ten postings for the same mid-level role on any job board and count how many ask for someone who “thrives in a fast-paced environment.”  Most will.  The same postings promise competitive compensation, describe a collaborative culture, and list eleven requirements for a job that needs four.

AI is already changing what people do at work. Tasks like drafting contract summaries, writing basic code, tagging support tickets, and reconciling accounts can now be partly or fully automated. That doesn’t always mean a job disappears. More often, the job itself changes. The problem is that most workforce plans track roles and headcount, not… Read more »

Paste a job title into ChatGPT, and thirty seconds later you have 600 words that could describe the same role at any company in the country.  The posting goes live, forty people apply, three can do the job, and the next fortnight gets spent questioning the sourcing channel and the pay band. The description was… Read more »

Most recruiting teams now draft job descriptions with AI. It takes about a minute, the output is clean, and the formatting is more consistent than anything that used to be done by hand. The problem shows up later, when a posting reads perfectly well but contains no specifics about the work and no sign that… Read more »

Source A recent finding by IT consultancy firm Tenth Revolution revealed that AI remains vital in hiring.  Yet, AI success is no longer as simple as aiming straight for the most impressive tech solution available. TA teams are now facing a deeper, more human-centric quandary that challenges the very concept of a workforce. We’ll answer… Read more »
