How scaling interviews by humans helps high-volume hiring

Historically, humans worked for ourselves, families, or neighbors. We didn’t apply to jobs because we already knew our employers and they knew us.

Today, employers are buried under mountains of digital applications. Instead of fixing the problem, we’ve largely opted for technical patches that dehumanize hiring and create barriers between those hiring and being interviewed.

Vette hopes to change that by creating an Uber-like system that allows employers to instantly scale up and down the number of interviewers they have. Applicants are phone screened within minutes. Recruiters can then focus on interviewing only the qualified, which allows that to happen far faster and that leads to far better application-to-hire rates, which massively decreases the costs of hiring.

Our Cohosts, Jeannette Leeds of AMS and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter, are joined for this episode by their guest, Amber Wanner of Vette.
