- We know what you did last summer. Every recruiter has read "4 years" on a screening and thought: of what? So we built the follow-up into the screening itself. New in Ringtime: Deep Screening. Our agents ask what the candidate actually did, where and for how long, the way your best recruiter would. Before the screening ends. Scary good timing for Halloween. 🎃 Ringtime
- We already do WhatsApp.” We hear it from a lot of prospects. And it’s true. You send WhatsApp messages. Then a candidate asks: “Is that day or night shifts?” Most WhatsApp bots follow a fixed script. The shift question isn’t in it. So the bot stalls, or asks its own question again. That’s a form in a chat window. Ringtime holds a real conversation. The candidate asks a question halfway. Ringtime answers, then moves on. They answer an old question late. Ringtime files it in the right place. They send a voice note after a long

- Yesterday I sat at the table for the first HR Tech Forum by Federgon - Network for work The question of the day: Can we trust AI Nobody had a ready-made answer. That is what made it a good conversation. For us at Ringtime, this is not a theoretical question. Our AI agent talks to candidates. Without trust, that conversation never even starts.

- Self-driving Tesla struggles with 30 km/h zones and cycle streets: 'The system does have enormous potential.'" That's the headline a Belgian newspaper ran on self-driving in Brussels traffic. Why is that the headline? Because the Tesla drove worse than the average Brussels driver? (The same article cites research: about 10x lower accident risk on these streets.)

- Not a headline I expected to quote on LinkedIn, but here we are. HLN this morning: two out of three job seekers never hear back after they apply. The survey behind it is Acerta and Stepstone, 1,700 people. We didn't need the survey. Michiel Vanhaverbeke spent five days in August role playing a forklift operator. Same CV, same application, sent to nine staffing agencies in Flanders. Then he waited. What would happen? Two agencies called. Seven didn't. Most of the seven sent one email. One channel, only one try. One of them ended with
- We call every applicant within 24 hours." I hear it almost every day in sales calls, and it is always meant as a strength.
