The latest issue of Hire Ground looks beyond the noise to focus on what really matters in recruitment right now: building hiring processes that are fair by design, grounded in trust, and shaped with people in mind. From accessibility in application journeys to the realities of AI adoption, this issue explores how thoughtful choices – not just new tools – are driving meaningful change across the hiring landscape.
Inside, you’ll find practical insight and honest perspectives from across the industry. We cover everything from inclusive application design and B Corp certification to AI scepticism, CV-free hiring, and the balance between automation and human judgement. Alongside this, there’s real-world thinking on collaboration, data transparency, and how to use technology to reduce bias without losing the human touch.
It’s an issue for teams who want to build hiring experiences that are not just smarter, but genuinely fairer and more human.
