At some point you have to stop ranting** and start doing. (Allegedly)
On that note, I have news: Hirewell is a software company now. đ˛đ
The current bull run on recruitment talent should be sounding alarm bells. (Average starting salaries of recruiters are up 37% since Q1 2021.)
Something is wrong.Â
Everyone is hiring more and more recruiters, because the demand for talent keeps getting higher. And harder to find.
You donât need a keen perception of the blatantly obvious to see:
This isnât sustainable. Throwing more bodies at the problem canât work forever.
Current recruitment technology *should* enable greater scale with the team you got. But itâs woefully inadequate.
AI and Machine Learning canât just be marketing terms you slap on your web site.
Shouldnât repeatable and mundane tasks - like spending half your day in LinkedIn Recruiter (or the latest knock off) - be done by a computer at this point?Â
And thatâs the vision. We want to give recruiters their time back.
Ours. Yours. Everyoneâs.
So Hirewell has taken an investment from Prytek and acquired ICV, which has been building just that.
The full details here.
Whatâs it really mean?
đWeâre gonna make our clientsâ lives a lot easier. More to come...
**Kidding. Iâll never stop ranting. đ¤Ł
