Recruitment software has been around for decades. Most companies today use an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to collect applications, manage candidates, and keep hiring somewhat organized.

This week's Hiring Reset goes back to the core: AI is flooding the pipeline – candidates mass-applying, recruiters hiding behind rigid filters. Smart teams flip it: use AI to cut noise, keep the human calls, and filter in, not just screen out.

Most weeks, this newsletter zooms out to look at big shifts and industry trends and how the world of recruitment is shifting.

Welcome toThe Hiring Reset. This week, why AI made every candidate look perfect – and how that perfection broke the system. Now companies are fighting back with paper résumés, in-person rounds, and human checkpoints. The new edge isn’t only speed, it’s trust.

Welcome toThe Hiring Reset. This week, why even great candidates are finding it harder to break through, and what it takes to stand out when the quality bar has never been higher.

Welcome to The Hiring Reset, where we rethink how hiring actually works in the age of AI.

This week: Navigating the tsunami of AI-generated resumes, recruiter overload, and the coming credibility reset.

Imagine a typical hiring scenario from a today: a recruiter logs into a clunky Applicant Tracking System (ATS), wades through 250+ resumes per job opening, manually copies data from forms, and struggles to keep candidates engaged through a drawn-out process. Meanwhile, candidates fill out page after page of forms (often repeating what’s already on their resume) and then hear nothing for weeks. This was the old way of recruitment – high-volume, tedious workflows and often a poor candidate experience.

Candidate screening has been loved and hated for decades. Vouch sets out to fix it.

We're excited to announce a game-changer for your recruitment strategy: the Vouch x Slack integration is here!

In the competitive world of talent acquisition, companies are always on the lookout for reliable, efficient, and high-quality sources of hires. And while job boards, social media, and recruiters all have their place, one method stands above the rest: referral recruiting. At Vouch, we believe that people trust people, and that trust can be a game-changer for hiring success.

When companies think of referral programs, they often envision a network limited to their employees. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Today, successful referral programs extend well beyond internal networks, engaging a broader circle that includes partners, clients, alumni, and even customers.

At Vouch, we’ve always championed the importance of transparency in referrals. A name attached to a recommendation is powerful—it builds trust, credibility, and accountability. But as we listened to feedback from our users, it became clear that sometimes, even the strongest referrals need to be given anonymously.

We've been hard at work this summer, revamping Vouch with a everything from a brand-new website to seamless AI-powered tools. Vouch is now more intuitive and powerful for vouchers, candidates, and companies alike.

Anyone can refer candidates to your company if they come across the job you have shared or if they are part of the Vouch network.

“What surprised me the most was how seamless and easy it was to use Vouch for direct outreach,” Michael shared.

We’re excited to share a big update that’s going to make setting up your company profile on Vouch quicker and simpler than ever.

At Vouch, we’re always listening to your feedback and making improvements to enhance your experience, big and small.

In the fast-paced world of recruitment, reaching the right candidates at the right time can be a game-changer.

Network-based referrals provide a diverse pool of high-quality candidates.

In today's fast-paced job market, finding the right candidate is more challenging than ever. Traditional methods such as job boards and recruitment agencies often fall short, failing to attract the right talent or flooding hiring managers with unsuitable applicants.

Her er en overraskelse: det er på ingen måte bare teknologiske stillinger! Selv om det kan se ut som Vouch er rettet mot å finne teknologer, er det langt bredere enn det.

Here's a surprise: it's by no means only tech roles! While it may look like Vouch is geared towards finding techies, it’s far broader than that.

Ei Solutions recently celebrated the hiring of two new full-time employees, after attracting many qualified candidates using Vouch.
