Scaling smarter was the recurring theme in so many conversations this May: from RL100 Surrey to client deep-dives and product strategy sessions. High-volume hiring is under pressure: application volumes are climbing, internal resources are stretched, and candidate expectations are rising. Hiring teams are stuck in a balancing act: moving fast without compromising on quality, experience, or compliance.

Rebuilding Trust in Hiring: Why AI Isn’t the Problem

Technology isn’t what’s breaking trust in hiring, it’s the way it’s used. This article explores how AI can support human decision-making, not replace it, and how smarter journeys can restore confidence, reduce friction, and improve candidate engagement.

Helping You Hire the Right People (and Keep Them)

Candidate experience isn’t just about hiring, it’s about belonging. Clear, honest journeys help companies attract the right people and build trust that lasts long after day one.

Hiring Doesn’t Need an AI Arms Race

Hiring doesn’t need hype. What it needs is:

• Supportive application flows

• Human connection

This article challenges the “AI arms race” narrative and shows why candidate experience will define the next wave of successful hiring.
