Sharper thinking on hiring for volume

We work with hiring teams at large organisations that recruit at high volume. Over time, you see patterns – what works, what doesn’t, what industry trends are occurring. This is where we share what we’re learning.

Why banning AI in recruitment probably won’t work (and what to do instead)

Analysis & commentary

Customer case studies

Real hiring challenges and how our customers addressed them.

400+ applicants. 1 role. 30 hours screening time saved.

When 400 applications arrived for a single intern role, the team had no realistic way to screen them all by hand. Here's how they used structured AI interviews to turn the pile into a scored, ready-to-progress shortlist without making a single call.
