Hiring teams are under more pressure than ever to move fast, stay lean, and deliver results that last. The difference between hiring that works, and hiring that wastes time and budget, increasingly comes down to how you use data. In this edition of inploi Insights, we explore how real-time analytics are giving HR and TA leaders the visibility to cut drop-off, improve candidate experience, and prove ROI. From our return to HR Technologies UK, to new client wins and product priorities, we’re showing what happens when smarter data meets people-first design.
