In a world increasingly consumed by technology, it’s easy to lose sight of the people behind and within the process. But at inploi, technology isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about connection. We believe the future of hiring is personal, and we’re proving that a human-first approach can revolutionise hiring while respecting the unique needs of candidates and employers alike.

This philosophy has driven inploi’s success with customers like wagamama and GAIL’s, both of which are using inploi’s platform to transform how they attract and hire talent. From achieving huge reductions in recruitment marketing spend, cutting time to hire by 50%, and reducing applicant drop-off rates by double digit amounts, inploi’s solutions have brought measurable improvements while staying true to a simple truth: behind every data point is a person.

The Human Impact of Technology

When wagamama, a leading British restaurant chain, partnered with inploi, the goal wasn’t just to improve hiring metrics - it was to create a candidate experience that felt as warm and inviting as the brand itself. With a revamped careers hub and AI-powered tools, wagamama achieved more than operational efficiency; they crafted an experience that reflects their values of care and connection.

Similarly, GAIL’s, a household name for artisanal baked goods in the UK, wanted their hiring journey to mirror the high-quality experiences they deliver in-store. By integrating inploi’s technology into their recruitment process, GAIL’s was able to ensure candidates felt valued and supported at every step. Jordan Moore, GAIL’s Head of Talent Acquisition, said it best:

“GAIL’s is an aspirant brand and needs a candidate experience to match. inploi delivered that.”

The results are clear: better hiring outcomes, stronger candidate engagement, and technology that amplifies, rather than replaces, the human touch.

The People Powering the Change

Behind inploi’s success is a team that’s as passionate about people as they are about technology. Co-founders Matthew de la Hey and Alex Hanson-Smith didn’t set out to build just another recruitment platform. They envisioned a solution that reimagines how employers and candidates connect, centred around respect, empathy, and accessibility.

For Matt, the journey began with a desire to tackle inefficiencies in the hiring process that often leave candidates feeling like numbers on a spreadsheet. Alex, driven by a deep understanding of user-centric design, ensures every pixel and interaction on the platform is crafted with care.

Together, they’ve cultivated a team that embodies inploi’s mission: to humanise hiring. Whether it’s building tools that simplify CV screening or working hand-in-hand with clients to personalise careers pages, the inploi team is united by a commitment to improving lives through better hiring experiences.

What Makes inploi Different

What truly sets inploi apart is its ability to combine cutting-edge technology with an unwavering focus on human needs. Here are just a few ways inploi is reshaping talent acquisition:

• Empathy in Design: Every feature, from AI chatbots to careers hubs, is designed to make the process easier and more intuitive for candidates, ensuring they feel seen and supported.

• Data with a Purpose: inploi’s analytics tools don’t just track metrics; they provide actionable insights that help companies make smarter, more empathetic hiring decisions.

• Collaborative Partnerships: Whether working with wagamama to halve time-to-hire or helping GAIL’s bring their employer brand to life, inploi’s approach is always collaborative, tailoring solutions to the unique challenges of each client.

The Future of Hiring is Personal

As we move into 2025, inploi remains committed to its vision: a world where technology enables better human connections, not fewer. This vision is grounded in the belief that hiring isn’t just about finding the right skills; it’s about finding the right people. And finding the right people starts with treating every candidate as an individual, not a statistic.

The results speak for themselves. Candidates applying through inploi-powered platforms experience a smoother, faster process that reflects the company’s values. Employers, in turn, gain the ability to build teams that are not only skilled but aligned with their culture and vision.

The future of hiring isn’t just AI-powered - it’s personal.
