The AI backlash in hiring is growing, and it’s easy to understand why.
In a recent Financial Times piece, employers and jobseekers alike voiced their frustration. Candidates feel dehumanised by automated video interviews and unresponsive systems. Employers are overwhelmed with AI-generated applications they can’t validate. Everyone is caught in an arms race of automation, and nobody’s winning.
What began as a well-intentioned effort to reduce bias and increase efficiency has become something else entirely: cold, confusing, and inaccessible.
At inploi, we believe there’s a better way.
We don’t see AI as a replacement for human interaction.
We see it as a tool to enhance it: to create a fairer, more engaging, and more transparent hiring journey.
How we’re building smarter, fairer, more human hiring journeys
1. AI that enhances human decisions, not replaces them
We use technology to make the journey easier, not more opaque.
That means enabling teams to:
Spend less time sifting through irrelevant applications
Identify where strong candidates are dropping off, and why
Understand which campaigns and touchpoints drive the right outcomes
Improve hiring performance without adding complexity or new headcount
Our AI-powered orchestration engine sits at the core of the inploi platform, activating rich candidate insights across a modular suite of tools that power the full journey: from hi to hired.
This is AI in support of human hiring, not automation for its own sake.
2. Designing for clarity, access, and trust
inploi integrates with over 100+ enterprise ATSs, creating a seamless layer between rigid backend systems and dynamic, consumer-grade candidate experiences.
We unify candidate data across every touchpoint, becoming the source of truth for pre- and post-ATS activity. This powers:
CMS & Careers Sites: Fully configurable, SEO-optimised, and brand-consistent hubs that convert
Flows & Chatbot: No-code workflows and conversational tools that streamline applications and reduce drop-off
Journeys (Audiences): AI-driven segmentation and personalisation for always-on nurture, reactivation, and content targeting
Talent Attraction: Integrated programmatic distribution and campaign management to drive quality traffic and reduce wasted spend
Together, these modules give employers control, flexibility, and visibility across the hiring lifecycle, and candidates the clarity, accessibility, and responsiveness they expect.
3. Data that creates dialogue, not silence
For too long, hiring systems have been a one-way street: candidates apply, and then... nothing.
inploi changes that by:
Giving candidates immediate confirmation and a consistent experience
Giving Talent Acquisition teams real-time analytics on engagement and drop-off
Enabling performance optimisation based on what candidates actually do
It's not about more dashboards, it's about turning blind spots into actionable insight.
4. Results that prove it works
Take PureGym, for example:
90%+ reduction in time-to-hire
2x more completed applications
91% candidate satisfaction
All without adding headcount or changing their ATS.
Why this matters
When hiring becomes transactional, everyone loses. When it becomes intentional, candidate-first, data-informed, and accessible, companies build better teams and stronger brands.
We don’t need another hiring algorithm war. We need hiring infrastructure that works for humans - on both sides of the process.
That’s what we’re building at inploi.
