AI Agents
Connecting recruiting agents to an ATS
An ATS connection is a set of permissions and data decisions. Start with a clear contract for reading, proposing changes, and handling failures.
Tools & Reviews
How to evaluate AI sourcing tools beyond database size
The largest database is only a starting point. Build a trial around evidence quality, useful coverage, reviewer effort, and the work your team needs done.
Sourcing
Measuring candidate quality instead of counting profiles
Profile volume is an output metric. A more useful sourcing review asks what the evidence supports, what remains unknown, and which next steps it enables.
Research & Perspectives
The recruiter as system designer
As more recruiting tasks become delegable, the work of defining good judgment becomes more visible. A perspective on the operating skills worth developing.
AI Agents
What a recruiting agent should actually do
A useful recruiting agent needs a clear assignment, visible evidence, and limits. A practical framework for deciding what to delegate—and what to keep.
Workflows
Where human review belongs in an automated sourcing workflow
Review is most useful where it can change a decision. Map the handoffs between a sourcing brief, candidate evidence, outreach, and the ATS.
