3 Ways AI Can Never Replace Recruiters

In the past two days alone, ChatGPT, one of the world's most popular AI platforms, was featured in two main LinkedIn News articles—one of which detailed that OpenAI, the company behind the platform, is projected to hit $1 billion in revenue within the next year. Already, as of June 2023, the platform has reportedly hit over 100 billion visits. And as the platform continues to gain traction, so too does its AI tech—that is, the more users who use the platform, the more it continues to evolve and improve in its responses. And still, there are certain processes that many…

How to Deliver Your Business’s Core Values

When the company was just a few years old, tech mega-giant Google penned an article on their company's philosophy: "Ten things we know to be true." And, as they suggest on their current About page, they continually check-in to ensure they are holding themselves accountable to these core values they started the company on. In fact, they even encourage their clients to hold them accountable to these core values, as well. And while Google is by no means a perfect organization, this is one of the main reasons why it, to us, is an extremely respectable company. It holds and…

The Best Business Development Practices for Recruiters

With the great fluctuations in the job market we saw in 2020 and 2021 came a high demand for talent and thus for recruiters. In 2022, as Jack Kelly writes for Forbes, businesses were struggling to find enough workers to meet the new demands at their companies, and as such, are constantly looking for solutions. Now, however, the need for recruiters seems to have dropped back down, demonstrating both the great waves this industry sees and the need for business development practices that you can carry out beyond temporary booms. Just as Greg Savage states in “17 Selling Tips for…

4 Tricks for Writing a Perfect Cover Letter for Any Job

These days, applying for many jobs is as easy as clicking two buttons (thank you, Easy Apply on LinkedIn!). But what about the cases where Easy Apply is not an option? What about applications that ask for not only a stellar resume, but also the perfect cover letter and thorough work sample, or even a full professional portfolio?  It can be a lot to take on, especially if you're desperate and want to apply to numerous job postings. Many, in these cases especially, feel the need to skip the cover letter, since it's arguably the most time-consuming—having to personalize and…

What It Takes to Succeed in Sales: Tips from Stu Schlackman

It's no surprise that many who succeed in sales are competitive by nature—they want to win, and as such, they act quick on their feet to do so. And for many decades, salespeople have been perceived—and even depicted in literature and media—as being pushy, charismatic, and working well under high-pressure. But what many forget or fail to recognize is that not all customers respond to the same kind of sales techniques. In fact, some of the best salespeople in the world base their sales approach on each individual customer. And countless who have been in the industry for long enough…

Hiring Process Frustration Is Real—Here’s How to Fix It

22 May 2025
Hiring is harder than ever. The hiring process frustration leaves both business owners and job seekers feeling stuck—but it doesn’t have to be this way. For business owners, a bad hire can cost thousands—and stall company growth. For job seekers, applying to dozens of roles without hearing back is frustrating and demoralizing. The hiring process feels like it’s working against both sides. And it is. The traditional hiring system is outdated, slow, and often biased. But with the right tools—and a shift in mindset—it’s possible to make hiring faster, fairer, and more effective for everyone involved. What’s Broken in Hiring…

How Recruiters Can Outperform AI (By Working WITH It)

15 May 2025
In today’s hiring landscape, recruiters are discovering the power of collaboration—learning how to work with AI to outperform it rather than compete against it. While artificial intelligence excels at processing large volumes of data and automating routine tasks, it can’t replace the human intuition, empathy, and judgment that recruiters bring. By combining AI’s strengths with their own expertise, recruiters can make smarter, faster, and more personalized hiring decisions. Let AI Do the Heavy Lifting Administrative tasks like resume screening, interview scheduling, and candidate communication can consume up to 30% of a recruiter’s time. AI-powered recruitment tools can automate these tasks,…

Job Descriptions Are Full of Lies – Let’s Be Honest About Hiring

8 May 2025
It’s time to address a quiet truth in recruiting: most job descriptions are misleading. While they may help fill roles faster, they often don't reflect the reality of the position. Shifting toward more honest job descriptions is not only essential for setting proper expectations but also crucial for improving retention, trust, and overall hiring success. Recruiters today face a paradox: in an effort to compete for top talent, job descriptions are often embellished with buzzwords, vague perks, and promises that don't quite match reality. The result? A growing gap between candidate expectations and the actual experience of the role—leading to…

Hiring has never been more complex—or more critical. For recruiters focused on winning top talent, the pressure to move quickly, compete effectively, and avoid costly missteps is real.

Why the Best Candidates Are Ignored (And How to Fix It)

13 March 2025
According to a report by Jobscan, 75% of resumes are never seen by a human because keyword-based ATS systems filter them out before reaching hiring managers. Many businesses rely on Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to streamline their hiring process. However, these systems often prioritize keywords over actual qualifications, leading to missed opportunities for top talent. While ATS platforms were designed to make recruitment more efficient, they frequently end up eliminating qualified candidates who don’t fit rigid keyword criteria.
