AI helps. People decide.
Everyone in recruitment is talking about AI. Most of the noise is about letting it do the choosing: screening CVs, scoring candidates, ranking who gets a call. After nearly 20 years of recruiting, that's the part I'm least willing to hand over.
So I've written down exactly where we use AI, and where we don't. It lives permanently at knowhash.com/ai, and the short version is this.
We don't use AI to screen candidates
Every application to Team Employment is read by a person. Reading people is the job, and it's the part candidates deserve to have done properly.
We do use AI to build our software, under my direction
Every change is made at my request and reviewed before it's released, and I deploy everything myself. AI never ships anything a customer uses.
And we've used it where it genuinely helps: the drafting
Before any hire there's a pile of writing: a position description for the business, an ad for the job boards, and ideally a few good questions to ask candidates before interview. It's slow, it's repetitive, and it's exactly the kind of work AI is good at.
That's what knowhash Role does. You describe the role in your own words, pasting an old ad or jotting down notes, and it drafts:
- A position description: purpose, responsibilities, essential and desirable skills.
- A job ad, shaped for the board you're posting on, whether that's LinkedIn, Indeed, Seek or anywhere else.
- A short set of candidate questions, friendly and low-pressure, that you send before interview.
You change anything and redo anything. When candidates answer, the answers come to you, and you read them. The AI never scores, ranks or rejects anyone.
