Trust in Recruitment. The System Needs an Overhaul. | Batje's Take #13 | HUMHR Career Insights
172 job applications. 3 responses. I shared that story and the comments came flooding in — not with surprise, but with recognition. Same story. Different country. Different industry. Same silence. In Batje’s Take #13, Batje Chibafa, Certified Professional Career Coach and Founder of HUMHR, makes the case that trust in recruitment is broken — and that the Applicant Tracking System is at the centre of it. Not because it manages volume, but because it removes the human from the most important moment in the process. She also draws a clear line on AI: using it to prepare for an interview is being deliberate. Using it during the interview, to feed you answers in real time, is misrepresentation. Both sides hiding behind technology will not rebuild trust. This is a short, solo reflection on what a genuine overhaul of the recruitment system would look like — and what job seekers and hiring teams can do right now. HUMHR Career Insights is hosted by Batje Chibafa, Certified Professional Career Coach and Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach. Listeners in 20+ countries.

Be a Pioneer. Be a Weed. | Lizz Mhangami | HUMHR Career Insights
Be a Pioneer. Be a Weed. | Part 2 | Elizabeth Mhangami Be a pioneer. Be a weed. Weeds survive where other plants cannot. Dandelions are food. Being a weed is not a consolation — it is a strategy. In Part 2, Elizabeth Mhangami, Principal Consultant at NDISU and founder of Vanavevhu (V² Enterprises), joins Batje Chibafa in studio for a conversation about building a career on your own terms. They go deep on entrepreneurship as a deliberate identity, what donor consulting actually looks like in practice, and why return-to-office mandates are not just a preference debate — they are a career equity issue. Elizabeth also calls out the inner critic work that nobody wants to talk about, and shares the coaching turning point that changed how she saw herself. This episode covers why letting certain jobs go might be the best move you ever make, the weed metaphor from permaculture that reframes everything, and the line that will stay with you: ”If you need to see me physically to consider me for a promotion, there is a misalignment there already.” Part 1 covers the AI hiring crisis and the 172-application story. Listen to both. HUMHR Career Insights is hosted by Batje Chibafa, Certified Professional Career Coach and Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach. Listeners in 20+ countries.

: AI, ATS and the Hiring System: Was It Ever Built for Us? | Lizz Mhangami
She sent 172 job applications. Got 3 responses. Not because she was underqualified — but because AI screened her out before a human ever read her CV. In Part 1, Batje Chibafa sits down in studio with Elizabeth Mhangami, nonprofit leader and Principal Consultant at NDISU, to talk about what is really happening in hiring. The ATS problem. The AI arms race. And whether the tools shaping the job market were ever designed for candidates from the Global South. Topics covered: — Why personalising AI tools takes credit away from your own work — The 172-application job search that predicted everything happening in hiring today — We used AI to beat the ATS. Now we need AI to beat AI. — Why grant funding and hiring share the same broken trust problem — Data centres, Zimbabwe’s lithium, and the ethics of technology — Hazel’s question from South Africa: does any of this AI work for the Global South?
