VONQ

Tomorrow we find out if VONQ's AI can explain itself. That sounds simple. It isn't. Most recruiting AI can tell you whom it scored and how they ranked. Very few can tell you why in terms a recruiter can defend to a candidate, a hiring manager, or a regulator. That gap, between output and explainability, is where bias lives. It's where compliance risk lives. And it's where most vendors hope no one looks too closely. Tomorrow, Martyn Redstone of Warden AI and I are taking VONQ CTO Bill Fischer through exactly that gap. Live. No script. No sanitized demo. June 11 | 10am EDT | 3pm UK | 4pm CET Register at link in comments #HRTech #WorkTech #Recruiting #AI #RecruitingBias

What happens when candidate agents start applying for jobs and recruiter agents start screening them? It's not a future scenario. It's already happening. Join our CEO, Ritu Mohanka, at the AI Recruitment Summit on 16 July at 3 PM CEST, as she explores one of the biggest shifts happening in talent acquisition: the move from human-led processes to autonomous, agent-driven hiring. In this session, you'll discover: - Why more applications don't necessarily lead to better hires. - What happens when AI agents operate on both sides of the hiring process. - How recruiters can shift from process managers to decision-makers. If you're curious about how hiring is changing (not in five years, but right now!) this session is for you. 🎟️ Save your spot: https://lnkd.in/ekCdt_3H

Most AI in recruiting demos show you the happy path. This Thursday, we're not doing that. I'm joining Martyn Redstone of Warden AI to put VONQ's CTO Bill Fischer on the spot with a live walkthrough of their AI-driven candidate journey, with the uncomfortable questions asked out loud: How are candidates actually being scored? Can recruiters explain the output? Where does bias risk live in this process? What does "compliant" actually mean in practice? The gap between AI confidence and AI competence in TA is real. Most organizations are somewhere between curious and committed, and the evaluation frameworks to close that gap haven't kept up with the pace of deployment. That's what this session is about. Not a pitch. An audit. Thursday, June 11 | 10 am–11 am EDT Link in comments #AI #Recruiting #TalentAcquisition #HRTech #WorkTech

The question isn't whether candidates are active this summer. It's whether your recruitment strategy is. While most employers are waiting for the "September hiring rush," the data tells a completely different story. Looking at labor market trends and insights from VONQ's programmatic platform, we’re seeing a summer shift: - 8-12 % more roles posted in June and July - 15-20 % more mobile candidate traffic - Up to 15 % lower CPCs during the holiday period Together, these signals point to a market that is far more active than many employers expect. For organisations using Programmatic Advertising, this creates a valuable opportunity to stay visible, adapt to changing market conditions, and make the most of their recruitment budget. While others wait for September, forward-thinking employers are already building talent pipelines, engaging candidates, and filling critical roles.
