AI isn’t replacing recruiters—it’s redefining how we work. Over the last three years, we’ve seen AI tools transform how we source, communicate, and engage with candidates. The key isn’t fearing AI—it’s leveraging it to boost productivity, speed up workflows, and do the work of three recruiters in one. So how do we incorporate AI into recruiting without losing the human touch? How can technology help us solve outreach and engagement challenges? In this #TalentHunters episode, HireQuest Inc.'s lead corporate recruiter, Jamie Close, joins host Vince Holt to talk about keeping up with AI and why it’s a recruiter’s ally, not the enemy.

With our proven platform, we eliminate those obstacles—allowing UK firms to place talent in the U.S. immediately, with full operational support." With the global recruitment industry projected to grow significantly, the launch of HireQuest International comes at a pivotal time.

The February Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals a 151,000 increase in nonfarm payrolls, falling a bit short of industry predictors. The unemployment rate edged up to 4.1%, with 7.1 million unemployed individuals. Notable sector gains include healthcare (+52,000 jobs) and financial activities (+21,000 jobs), while federal government employment declined by 10,000. Rick Hermanns, CEO of HireQuest, commented on the evolving workplace dynamics, highlighting the importance of adaptability, decisiveness, and humility in leadership. He noted that recent return-to-office mandates, both in the private sector and federal government, provide valuable insights into employee behavior and organizational culture. These developments offer lessons for businesses shaping their own return-to-office policies. As the labor market continues to evolve, embracing flexibility and informed decision-making remains crucial for sustained growth and stability. #LaborStats #BLSReport #JobMarket https://lnkd.in/eHr_9Awu
