Can AI do a reference check?

We are now being bombarded with the option to use AI for reference checking. Genuinely I ask, how can I confidently outsource that to a robot?

Better the devil you know?

01 Jun 2024 | Hannah Brewer | No Comments

Is it a case of better the devil you know? Whether it be professionally or personally, we’ve all experienced that feeling where someone has become, for lack of a better word, stale.

The interview process is a sales process – you need to sell yourself as a solution to business problems.

This isn’t something we train, but rather something that comes naturally to those in our team. Never have I been more proud of my team, as staying true to our values is what has steered us through this pandemic.

Chronic Illness in the Workplace

19 Aug 2019 | Peta Hulin | No Comments
