Episode 18: The £75 billion hiring problem: Can recruitment be fixed?

Why is broken hiring costing the UK an estimated £75 billion a year? And in a world of AI, fraud and outdated processes, what would it actually take to make hiring faster, fairer and safer?

In Episode 18 of The View masterclass, Neil Armstrong is joined by Keith Rosser, Chair of the Better Hiring Institute, for a smart, straight-talking conversation about the state of hiring in the UK.

With more than 20 years in the recruitment industry and a track record of working closely with government, Keith brings a big-picture view on why hiring has never really worked as well as it should and why now is the moment to rethink it. From the national cost of bad hiring to the rise of hiring fraud, AI misuse and poor candidate experiences, this episode gets into the real issues behind the headlines.

Together, they explore what’s broken, what’s changing, and how government, employers, and rec tech providers can work together to build something better. Expect sharp insight, honest challenge, and a fresh perspective on the future of hiring.
