I am biased. And so are you. Every other week, Equalture’s CEO, experts in neuroscience, psychology, DE&I, and Talent Acquisition share their insights into making recruitment fairer, more objective, and more inclusive. This podcast is for all professionals who are passionate about making recruitment more unbiased.
Automation is everywhere in recruitment, but are we automating the right things?
Charlotte and Fleur Melkert explain why high-volume hiring often backfires when automation runs without a quality gate. You reduce time, but not workload, and you end up replacing people faster.
They discuss what goes wrong, how it affects hiring managers and candidates, and what good automation looks like when soft skill assessment is used as a quality filter.
If you hire at scale, this episode is essential.
