The Hidden Cost of Bad Recruitment Systems
Most recruitment businesses know when something isn’t working, but few can quantify the cost of it.

Year-End Fatigue in Recruitment — and How Jarvis Lightens the Load
Year-end fatigue in recruitment hits differently. Unlike most industries, recruiters don’t get to wind down — Q4 is your sprint to the finish. Targets, invoices, onboarding, and compliance all pile up just as your energy starts running out.
