Founder of Sortinghat, an AI-native ATS and CRM for staffing, search and RPO firms. Writes about recruiter capacity, sourcing economics and what actually changes when AI reaches a delivery desk.

What the writing is built on

Runs the platform the posts describe

Sortinghat is an AI-native ATS and CRM used by staffing, search and RPO firms, including firms of 400+ employees. The operating numbers quoted across this site come from that platform rather than from a survey.

Writes from platform data, not category commentary

The recurring figures — a 3 million record database audit that found 10% duplicates and 80% still-usable profiles, portal spend falling from $100 a role to $60, roughly 40 responses per 100 contacted by phone against 25 on WhatsApp and 12 to 15 by email, a manual desk's ceiling of about 40 calls a day — are measurements, and the posts say where each one comes from.

Publishes the limits as well as the wins

Several posts here argue against the product's own category: most AI recruiting tools change no number that matters, nobody needs another resume screener, and there is a list of twelve things automation still cannot do in recruitment.

Names sources and withholds numbers that would not survive quoting

Market figures are attributed to NASSCOM, Zinnov, Staffing Industry Analysts and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Where the spread inside a market exceeds the spread between markets — notice periods in India, recruitment fees by country — the posts say so and publish no average.
