In this episode of The Dstribute Podcast, Bruce and Kaeden Stander spotlight how automation is transforming recruitment from a time-consuming chore into a strategic advantage. Traditionally, recruiters spend nearly 40 hours a month on manual job postings — an entire work week lost to repetitive tasks. But new platforms are cutting that wasted time dramatically while boosting both speed and quality of hires.
The conversation explores how companies using automation tools are seeing a 60% reduction in time-to-hire and reporting over 1,000 qualified applications within the first month of implementation. Even more surprising, candidate quality is improving thanks to AI-powered distribution that places jobs on the right boards and platforms.
One of the biggest breakthroughs? Built-in OFCCP compliance automation. By embedding compliance directly into the software, companies are experiencing a 75% reduction in compliance-related tasks, saving HR teams countless hours of documentation. And unlike many recruiting tools that overpromise and underdeliver, these systems are reported to start producing results almost immediately — with ROI visible within the first quarter.
The hosts emphasize that the success isn’t just about technology, but also about strong support and intuitive design. Recruiters are reporting 40% productivity improvements while maintaining human connection as the focus of the hiring process.
Looking ahead, Bruce and Kaeden see the future of hiring as a balance between automation and the human touch. As AI and machine learning continue to evolve, recruitment technology won’t just digitize old processes — it will reinvent them, giving recruiters more time for meaningful interactions while ensuring efficiency, compliance, and better outcomes.
The takeaway is clear: the future of hiring is smarter, faster, and more human.
