Setting Your Recruiting Goals Like Goldilocks🚀

Setting goals for your recruiting program can feel like a fairytale—many of us tend to set goals that are too big or too small, struggling to find those that are just right. Like Goldilocks, the key is experimenting until you find the perfect fit.Documenting your goals and the steps to achieve them helps you track progress and understand what drives results. When it’s time to set new goals, you’ll have a roadmap based on real outcomes—not guesswork.Here are some example goals we see customers set, along with ideas for how using certain Recruiter features can help you accomplish them:⭐️ Reduce time-to-fill by 10% using AI-Assisted Projects to streamline sourcing and prioritization.⭐️ Boost InMail response rates by 5% by setting follow-up reminders for unresponsive candidates to avoid those missed connections.⭐️ Increase the number of qualified candidates per role by 20% by using Recruiter’s “Similar Candidates” feature to expand sourcing beyond your initial search criteria, without sacr

🎓 From Training to Transformation: The Shift from Training Manager to L&D Manager

In today’s fast-changing world of work, developing people isn’t just about delivering training — it’s about building capability, driving performance, and preparing for the future.That’s why the difference between a Training Manager and a Learning & Development (L&D) Manager is more than just a title. It reflects a deeper shift in mindset, purpose, and impact.Let’s explore what that shift looks like — and why it matters.🧠 It’s not just about Training — It’s about GrowthThe term “Learning & Development” signals a broader, more strategic approach to people development. A Training Manager often focuses on delivering structured programs to meet immediate needs.

How can you tell if someone used AI for their resume?

This question was asked in a webinar this week: “How can you tell if someone used AI for their resume?”There are some telltale signs:Generic, impersonal language Unusual formatting or errors like repetitive use of jargon/buzzwords Lack of personalization, descriptions, or specific examples Inconsistency in information like improperly sequenced dates, odd titlesI could probably go on, but to me, the bigger question is: Should someone use AI in their resume? As always, I have opinions, but I’d rather hear from you.What do you think? ✅ If yes, why is it ok? 🚫 If no, why not?

How do you handle adding Job Posts for more than one location?

Yesterday a question posted by @Cristina Nuñez in Community Discussions > Hiring & Recruiting Lounge caught my eye. It’s the one in the headline above, of course. It makes me curious to hear what you think. For now, I’ll start with my thoughts.One way it could be handled is by having separate Job Posts, and thus separate Projects for each location. That way you can track the candidates easily and see where they are in your process for each Project. So, if a candidate is a good fit for a role in Manhattan and Brooklyn, you might have different Projects for each location, and that candidate could be in both Projects.To explain a little more: candidates can be in more than one project at a time. They probably will even be in a different category of your workflow for each project. If you and your team work consistently and put each candidate in appropriate the Pipeline stage of a Project, you will all be able to see both how many projects a candidate is in and where they are in eac
