In this episode of The Dstribute Podcast, Bruce and Kaeden Stander break down one of the most staggering challenges in modern hiring: the average company still spends 41 days and more than $4,000 to fill a single role. Most of that cost comes from outdated workflows, disconnected systems, and hours of manual effort that should have been automated long ago.

That inefficiency is exactly what Distribute was built to solve. Instead of adding another standalone tool to an already overloaded HR tech stack, Bruce and Kaeden designed an integrated recruiting ecosystem that unifies job distribution, OFCCP compliance, analytics, and ATS connections into one seamless flow. The moment compliance was tied directly into the posting process, companies stopped shaving off minutes and started eliminating whole categories of manual work.

The results have exceeded expectations. Organizations are seeing thousands of qualified applicants within weeks, along with dramatic improvements in speed and precision. Time-to-hire cycles that once took months are now measured in weeks. And because real-time analytics show which channels drive the best outcomes, recruiters are making smarter, data-backed decisions instead of relying on guesswork.

A major differentiator is how Distribute handles compliance. For federal contractors, OFCCP requirements once meant endless spreadsheets, screenshots, and audits. Now, compliance happens automatically in the background, transforming a normally heavy burden into an invisible part of the workflow.

But the hosts emphasize that technology is only half the story. Distribute was built on relationship-driven software, where automation removes friction without removing people. When a client hits a roadblock, the support team stays with them until the problem is fully solved — a hands-on partnership that’s rare in HR tech and often mentioned directly by customers.

As Bruce and Kaeden look toward the future, they see recruitment moving decisively away from fragmented, manual processes and toward unified, intelligent systems. Companies using Distribute today are experiencing what hiring will look like five years from now — faster, fairer, and far more strategic, with technology finally working with people instead of against them.
