Historically, software has been designed around screens. Log in. Open a tab. Complete a task. Repeat.

Episode 8 of Built Different: Designing the Intelligence Layer, explores what happens when software starts adapting to people instead of people adapting to software.

In this episode, Shiran Yaroslavsky, SVP of Product, shares how AI is reshaping product design, from conversational experiences and agent-to-agent collaboration to a future where work happens wherever users already are.

The most interesting part of this conversation isn't the technology.

It's the idea that software is starting to adapt to people, instead of people adapting to software.

CKO energy is unmatched.

Most teams focus on making hiring faster.

KPMG Australia took a different approach. Make it more human, and the efficiency follows.

In their work with SmartRecruiters, that shift led to:
• More personalized candidate experiences
• More strategic recruiter roles
• Real, measurable impact at scale

AI transformation sounds exciting until you’re the engineering team actually trying to ship it.

Episode 7 of Built Different: Engineering the New System, goes inside the reality of what it takes to scale AI inside enterprise software, from security and compliance to rebuilding teams, workflows, and the way products themselves are designed.

One idea that stands out from Michal Nowak: “AI is not a goal in itself. The goal is to bring value to the users.”

That mindset shapes the entire conversation.

Not AI for the sake of AI. Real problems. Real workflows. Real ex*****on.

The next wave of AI in hiring may be the one you barely notice.

In this conversation with Shiran Yaroslavsky, SVP of Product at SmartRecruiters, we dig into what agentic AI actually means and why it’s changing the way leaders think about recruiting, collaboration, and the future of work.

A few ideas that stood out:
• The future isn’t just AI assistants, it’s agents working together
• Recruiting teams will decide what work belongs to humans and what belongs to agents
• The real challenge ahead may be preventing new AI silos from forming
• Great AI experiences depend just as much on UX, governance, and integration as the model itself

One line from Shiran that we keep coming back to: “In a world of so many agents, how can we connect them to each other and not create silos?”

A lot of recruiting innovation gets attention for the big moments.

Sometimes the most important updates are the ones that quietly make hiring more secure, more transparent, and easier to manage at scale.

This month’s product release focuses on exactly that, from configurable salary transparency fields to stronger MFA protections built directly into the workflow.

Feature Friday 💡

Salary transparency is getting more complex, especially for teams hiring across multiple countries.

We asked Sarah Maloney, Strategic Solutions Consultant, to walk through how SmartRecruiters’ new configurable salary transparency fields make it easier to manage.

Teams can control whether compensation is required, optional, or hidden, and choose to display either a fixed salary or a range based on local requirements and internal policies.

A more scalable way to stay compliant and build trust with candidates.

One thing companies are realizing quickly: the problem usually isn’t lack of talent.

It’s the inability to activate the talent they already have.

Organizations are sitting on years of candidates, silver medalists, and untapped potential across their systems, but recruiters still spend too much time manually searching, coordinating, and reconnecting the dots.

That’s why we’re making such a significant investment in Agentic CRM.

Turning static databases into systems that actively surface, engage, and move talent forward at scale.

Not more searching. More momentum.

That shift was a major focus in our recent Product Preview → https://bit.ly/47VqiMO

Resume screening is one of those tasks that sounds simple... until you’re doing it hundreds of times a week.

That’s why Winston Screen was built to take the first pass.

It reviews resumes, surfaces the most relevant candidates, and helps recruiters move faster without sacrificing judgment.

The impact is real: one of our retail customers saw up to a 75% reduction in time spent screening resumes with AI-powered automation.

Less manual review. More time focused on the candidates who matter most.

AI is changing more than software. It’s changing how leaders lead.

Episode 6 of Built Different: Leading Through Disruption, explores what it takes to navigate uncertainty, experiment in real time, and bring people along through change.

One idea stands out: people need context to feel comfortable, and context requires transparency.

The good, the bad, the ugly. Share it all. People are far more adaptable than we often expect.
