Why Hiring Has Become So Hard - And How to Fix It

Date: 8th October 2025

Finding the right candidate has never been more difficult. Roles that once attracted a few dozen applicants are now pulling in over 1,500 thanks to ‘Easy Apply’ buttons and mass applications.

The result, HR teams overwhelmed with irrelevant CVs, and top talent slipping through the cracks.

On top of that, many jobs don’t even get posted publicly anymore, and automated screening tools often reject great candidates just because their wording doesn’t match the algorithm.

So, what’s the solution?

At Workshop Recruitment, we take a human-first, targeted approach to hiring. We don’t just fire off CVs, we find candidates who fit the role, the team, and your long-term goals. We know how to reach top talent, even if they’re not actively looking, and we deliver just a few exceptional candidates who are truly right for the job.

While others are still sorting through hundreds of applications, our clients are already making great hires.

If your hiring process is slow, noisy, or missing the mark, let’s fix it.
