Recruiting has become more digital than ever. AI-driven screening, automated emails, and algorithmic job matching dominate the hiring landscape. While technology has improved efficiency, many job seekers and employers feel that the personal touch in recruiting has been lost.

The Problem: Recruiting Has Become Transactional

For many job seekers, applying for a job feels like shouting into a void. They submit applications, receive generic rejection emails (or no response at all), and rarely interact with a real person. Employers, on the other hand, are overwhelmed with applications and rely on automation to filter candidates—sometimes missing out on great talent in the process.

While efficiency is important, recruiting is ultimately about people, not just resumes.

How We Rehumanize Recruiting at Pillo:

Making the Candidate Experience Personal

We ensure that job seekers feel seen and valued by:

1. Providing real-time application status updates.

2. Allowing candidates to build digital resumes within our mobile app for easy applications.

3. Offering human support through our chatbot and help center.

Empowering Employers to See Beyond the Resume

A resume shows what a candidate has done, but it doesn’t always capture who they are. That’s why Pillo helps employers:

1. Gain real insights into candidates through digital profiles.

2. Connect with job seekers more personally through invite to apply feature.

3. Prioritize skills-based hiring to open opportunities for more qualified candidates.

Bringing Back Authentic Conversations

Many hiring processes feel like a numbers game, but at Pillo, we believe in building relationships.

1. In-app messaging enables direct conversations between job seekers and recruiters

2. Employers can use video introductions to add a personal touch to job postings

3. Candidates receive real feedback instead of just automated rejections

The Future of Hiring is Human

Technology should enhance recruiting, not replace the human element. By blending automation with meaningful human interactions, we create a hiring process where job seekers feel valued, and employers find the right talent faster.

At Pillo, we’re not just filling jobs, we’re building careers, fostering connections, and rehumanizing the way we hire. Ready to experience the difference? Join Pillo today and bring the human touch back to recruiting.
