  The Automated Agency What AI-Native Recruitment Actually Looks Like

  Aug 19, 202633 min

  What does a truly AI-native recruitment agency actually look like? In Episode 3 of Recruitment TV , we sit down with Lander Degrève from Spott to explore how AI is changing recruitment workflows — and why the next generation of agencies will go far beyond simply adding AI features to existing systems. The shift is happening from a system of record that stores data to a system of intelligence that actually does the work . We explore what that means in practice, from automated outreach and AI-powered matching to eliminating admin and creating more predictable pipelines. In this episode, we discuss: The difference between an AI-native workflow and a traditional ATS with an AI add-on How automation can remove the repetitive work recruiters shouldn't still be doing Where recruiter time is still being wasted in 2026 How AI-powered matching can change the way recruiters work What greater pipeline predictability could look like What a recruiter's day looks like inside a Super Agency Why the agencies winning with AI are rebuilding workflows around it, rather than simply bolting AI onto existing processes Recruitment TV is all about the ideas, technology and strategies shaping the future of recruitment. This episode is part of our Building Your Super Agency season. #RecruitmentTV #Recruitment #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #RecruitmentTechnology #Automation #SuperAgency #Spott

  The Lean Agency How Super Agencies Use Outsourcing to Do More With Less

  Aug 12, 202634 min

  What if your recruitment agency could increase output, improve profitability and grow without continually adding headcount? In this episode of Recruitment TV , James Osborne explores how the most successful recruitment businesses are building lean, high-output teams by using outsourcing to take care of non-core work — freeing recruiters to focus on what they do best: generating revenue. We look at how Super Agencies are rethinking traditional agency structures, moving away from bloated internal teams and high fixed costs towards more flexible, efficient operating models. James shares practical insight into how recruitment businesses can approach outsourcing, including: • What should you outsource first — and what should never leave the building? • How can outsourcing increase output per recruiter? • How should recruitment businesses think about fixed vs. variable costs? • What does a well-run outsourced function actually look like day-to-day? • How do you manage a blended internal and external team effectively? • How can outsourcing improve profitability without growing headcount? If you're looking to build a more efficient, scalable and profitable recruitment business , this episode is for you. Recruitment TV is brought to you by The Recruitment Network™ , bringing together leading recruitment experts and business leaders to share the strategies, ideas and insights helping agencies build their Super Agency.
