- We know what you did last summer. 😱 And for how long. New in Ringtime: **Deep Screening**. Every screening hears candidates say short, ambiguous answers: • “15 years.” • “Quite a while.” • “PLC.” • “Uhuh, maybe...” Answers that sound complete, but tell you nothing. Deep Screening hears that gap and follows up as a good recruiter would: • Where was that? • How long exactly? • What did you do with it? • How would you get there? Customers kept asking us for one thing: go deeper when an answer is vague. Now our agents do, on the
- Een oproep voor alle vrouwen die op de motor zitten, aan het stuur of achterop. Mijn dochter Leni Theeten schrijft haar masterproef over motorkledij voor vrouwen. Daarvoor zoekt ze zoveel mogelijk vrouwen die hun ervaring willen delen. Rij je zelf, of zit je vaak achterop als passagier? Dan telt jouw mening. De enquête vraagt onder meer naar: - je rijgedrag - je lichaamstype en de pasvorm van je kledij - comfort en bescherming - materialen en ontwerp Hoe meer antwoorden, hoe sterker haar onderzoek. Vul de enquête hier in:
- Everyone hates chatbots and their "Sorry, I didn't get that." Including me. 😠 So we shipped their worst nightmare: a WhatsApp recruiting agent that rolls with whatever candidates throw at it. What's new in our WhatsApp screening: 👉 It holds a real conversation. Ask about night shifts mid-screening and it answers, then carries on. 👉 Answer an earlier question late and it files it in the right place. 👉 Candidates can tap a reply button or send a voice note. 👉 Ghost it for a day, come back with "sorry, crazy week", and it picks
- Our agent often asks candidates short questions with two buttons. So here's one for you: Will you vote for Ringtime in the Recruitment Tech Awards 2026? 🏆 • ✅ Yes • ✅ Also yes The link is in the first comment. There's no wrong answer. Well, there is one, but we won't screen you out.
- Our co-founder Diederik Syoen sat down with Jeroen Van Ermen from Talent Business Partners. They talked about how Ringtime started, what AI screening looks like in blue-collar staffing and where we are going. Want to hear it live? Diederik and Vincent Theeten host a breakout session at the Talent Business Forum & Gala on 19 November in Brussels.
- 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
- Vincent Theeten and I pitched at Deloitte Rising Star yesterday. I really liked the challenge: no slides, 2 minutes, a jury in a line in front of us. Good exercise. Pitch something you know inside out, down to details you'd normally only discuss with people from the staffing industry. Here's what we told them: The world as we know it is changing rapidly because of AI. Every bit of knowledge work is getting automated, yet every job related to manual labour stays vitally important. 80% of the world's workforce works with their
- WE RAISED €1,5M. WE. DID. THAT. (YES THIS DESERVES ALL CAPS) 1,5 miljoen euro opgehaald in onze allereerste fundingsronde ooit, insane. Thanks to all our investors 🙏 Jullie zorgen ervoor dat we kunnen blijven groeien en het grootste probleem van deze generatie kunnen aanpakken: de skillskloof.
