Today's employers receive far more applications than they did for similar roles a few years ago, and exponentially more than a few decades ago. But are the applicants worse fits than they used to be, or are we just having a harder time determining their fit?
And, after they've applied but not been hired, are we wasting a valuable asset by ignoring them or failing to stay in touch with them in a way they want? Wouldn't it be better...

It is often said that recruitment marketing lags consumer marketing by five to 10 years. One reason for that is that consumer marketing budgets far exceed ours. That makes it far harder for us to pilot or A/B test and that holds back innovation.

ATS, assessment, job board, and other AI-powered hiring systems have undoubtedly saved employers a lot of money and led to a lot of great, new hires. But do we really know if they're right when they tell us that candidate A is better than candidate B, and that leads us to spend more time with A than B and even more likely to hire A than B?
