Recruiters are burning out at an increasing rate. It’s easy to blame the great resignation and the shift to remote work (then hybrid work) and call it a day. But that’s too easy. The real problem isn’t the challenges we face—those will always come—it’s the processes and systems we have to handle them. In short: we need to upgrade recruiting systems to match the reality we now live in. And an upgraded system includes video interviewing (powered by a purpose-built video interview tool) as part of your recruiting process.
As a founder, there are a few company milestones that bring incredible joy. Fundraising is often one of them (Willo raised a Seed round in 2021 that I’m proud of). Helping our customers streamline video interviewing is another (the average user saves 6+ hours per week of admin with Willo). But the real win for me is seeing candidates succeed. And it’s only just the beginning.
You might buy a software for one purpose; it doesn’t mean you can’t use it in other ways. Take video interviewing software, for instance. Willo’s 2024 Hiring Trends Report found that 27.4% of companies have no hiring plans this year and 39.7% only plan to grow modestly. That’s a lot of organizations that have already invested in technology to power hiring, but may not be using it a lot this year.
