Hishem Azzouz points out that your metrics make or break recruitment
Matching companies and top talent is the dream. But so is measuring that dream. According to one of Hishem’s latest posts, your KPIs matter more than you might think. Having a measurable hiring pipeline is a must, no matter how well you think you’re doing. Because when you suddenly don’t, you won’t know why.
And when you do well, you won’t know why either. Setting up your pipeline for success is all about setting the baseline for your recruitment processes, starting with measurable goals. With Atlas, attaining those goals is twice as easy in half the time it would take with a traditional CRM, too.

So, as the top ranking recruitment influencer for March 2025, Hishem’s words of wisdom hold true today as they always did. Measure, measure, and measure your hiring efficiency some more.
As Joel Lalgee puts it, don’t jump the shark on how candidates use AI
Artificial intelligence is everywhere these days and everyone’s using it. Atlas’ bedrock is built on AI, allowing recruiters to embrace admin-free hiring without breaking a sweat. We still need to be mindful of how AI is or isn’t used, especially by job seekers and C-level candidates.

As Joel Lalgee pointed out in one of his recent posts, companies looking to fill roles with talent skilled in AI need to understand AI themselves. It’s a two-way street. Understanding how AI can or cannot be used, should or shouldn’t be used, will be the deciding factor in 2025 and beyond.
And with recruitment influencers like Joel bringing very real concerns to the forefront, companies need to consider every aspect of AI when deciding whether or not to hire someone.
Carolyn Christie’s word of recruiting advice? Take it back to the basics
This year’s been tough on both candidates and recruiters. But that doesn’t have to spell doom for the recruitment industry at large. As Carolyn points out in her March post, going back to the basics can be a good thing.
Cold messages. Networking. Referrals. Rinse and repeat. Although platforms like Atlas make sourcing your candidates a breeze, they can’t account for the human element. The market shifts. The sudden changes of plans. While AI makes the recruitment dream work at the end of the day, the human element remains just as vital as it ever was.
Carolyn makes a great point as one of this month’s top recruitment influencers. Go the extra mile and make connections that’ll last. Then, your job as a recruiter will be a whole lot easier.

So, the next time you talk to a client or a candidate, ask them questions, even if they seem small at the time.

Sean Anderson turns our attention to using AI the smart way
Regarding AI, we often can’t see the forest for the trees. Sean Anderson’s post on AI resonates with anyone who’s ever used artificial intelligence to make their life easier.
Whether you use personal assistants to manage your diet and exercise, or use Atlas’ AI note taker to make interviewing candidates easier, it comes down to the same idea. AI should always be used with ethical reservations, especially in recruitment.

As one of the top ranking recruitment influencers on our list, Sean’s insights on the matter recontexualize the role of AI in recruitment. It’s a tool to help you do your job better, not a de facto solution to hire with on auto-pilot.
