So, why do we make it so hard for them to be great at their job?
Think about the work you do every day. The things you love about your job. The things you don’t. The things you’re stuck doing. The things that weigh you down. The things that stack up when your recruiters have 40 reqs to fill or a manager has an entire restaurant to staff.
Now, think about why you got into this line of work in the first place.
We’re willing to bet it wasn’t to screen resumes or mindlessly change statuses in an ATS. It probably wasn’t to play calendar back-and-forth to schedule every interview, or chase candidates when they don’t show up for one. It wasn’t to endlessly answer the same repetitive questions. And it wasn’t to remind candidates to — for the sixth time — please complete their background check.
You got into recruiting because you love the people stuff.
The thrill of discovering the perfect candidate for a critical role. The joy of seeing them accept the job. The challenge of guiding a hiring manager through the heartbreak of a declined offer. The empathy to walk a candidate through why they weren’t your top choice. You do what you do because you’re a champion of talent — the kind of person who actually cares about the teams you build and the people who rely on you to do it.
So, why can’t recruiting be about that stuff again? Why can’t your work be less about the work you hate and more about the stuff you signed up to do?
We believe it can be.
"What I want to see in the future of talent management is that continued focus on not just the candidate experience, but the hiring manager and recruiting experience. Because that person's experience should be just as enjoyable and exciting as the candidate's."
Alexa Morse, Director of HR Operations
To be a champion of talent is to be a steady, unifying, but mostly invisible force. Every day, recruiters and talent teams find the people who will create the future. And not just any people. The right people for the right jobs. We're focused on supporting these talent champions, and empowering them to do more of what they love.
Recruiting is hard enough; let's lighten the load of our talent champions by automating admin tasks like screening and scheduling so they can focus more time on what they're great at. We call our conversational assistant Olivia — and she's helping thousands of recruiters all over the world hire better, faster.
For years, so much of how we hire has relied on antiquated processes and systems. Manual steps. Needless friction. Difficult software with logins and passwords we always forget.
But what if you could eliminate all of that? What if you could make the hiring experience feel lightweight? Easy. Invisible. Well, you get a world where people get to spend time with people, not software. And when you get the people thing right, you can build teams that change the world.
