Building an AI-First Recruitment Strategy from Scratch
By Kurian Benny/Jun 14
An AI recruitment strategy isn’t something you bolt onto an existing process and hope it works. According to SHRM’s 2024 benchmark survey, 67% of HR leaders say they’ve experimented with AI in hiring — but fewer than 20% have a structured strategy for how AI fits into their pipeline end-to-end. The gap between experimenting and [...]
Candidate Reactions to AI Interviews: What the Research Says
By Kurian Benny/Jun 08
Candidate reactions to AI interviews are more nuanced than the headline assumption suggests. The research doesn’t show universal rejection — it shows that candidates dislike specific, fixable things about how AI interviews are implemented: opaque processes, surprise deployment without warning, sessions that feel like endurance tests, and silence afterward. Transparent, well-designed AI interview experiences produce [...]
Automated Job Posting: How to Syndicate Across Boards Efficiently
By Kurian Benny/Jun 06

By Kurian Benny/Jun 03
The question isn’t really AI vs human interviewers. It’s where in your hiring process each one does the job better than the other — and what you’re giving up by using the wrong one at the wrong stage. Human interviewers bring judgment, relationship-building instinct, and the ability to read signals that don’t show up in [...]
AI Interview Scoring: How Candidates Are Evaluated
By Kurian Benny/Jun 02
Most hiring teams know that AI interview scoring produces a ranked shortlist. Far fewer understand what actually happens between the candidate hitting “stop recording” and the score appearing in the dashboard. That gap matters — because if you don’t understand how the scoring works, you can’t configure it correctly, and a misconfigured scoring system produces [...]
