AI is changing the way organisations hire, but technology alone won't guarantee better recruitment outcomesโ€ฆ

While the technology can streamline tasks such as drafting job descriptions, screening applications and preparing interview questions, human judgement remains essential when assessing potential and long-term success.

As more employers incorporate AI into their hiring processes, the focus is shifting from whether to use it to how to use it effectively. From treating the technology as a tool rather than a decision-maker to ensuring prompts provide the right context, hiring managers need to strike the right balance between efficiency and human insight.

Mike Harrison, Managing Director (North) at Reed, shares five practical tips for hiring managers looking to make the most of AI: https://bit.ly/4zR4T3w

โ€˜Quiet resignationโ€™ isn't about employees doing less, it's often a sign that something has changed in their experience at work.

When employees no longer feel challenged, recognised, supported, or connected to their role, disengagement can slowly creep in. By the time a resignation arrives, the warning signs may have been visible for months.

The challenge for leaders is recognising these warning signs earlyโ€ฆ

Open communication, meaningful recognition, and opportunities for growth can go a long way in preventing people from mentally checking out before they physically leave.

In this article, featuring insights from Gemma van der Wath, Senior HR Business Partner at Reed, we explore the key signs of a quiet resignation and offer practical advice for leaders looking to strengthen engagement and retention within their teams.
