“The drudgery is gone.”

Hiring should be about finding great people, not drowning in admin.

With the rise of AI-assisted job applications, the reality of the hiring landscape has dramatically shifted and the way professionals can combat endless CVs is to use AI themselves.

Building the AI Recruitment Agent was a necessary step in our mission to make employment easier for everyone across the globe and the perfect solution.

Now, hiring managers and business owners have hours back in their diaries to focus on what really matters.

Thank you to Craig Gillett from Thermosash for sitting down with us! If you want to find out more about our AI recruitment agent, check out the case study below.

Running a small or medium-sized business in Canada? This one’s for you. 👇

What does it take to build a team that can perform when the pressure is on?

We asked someone who knows a thing or two about it. ⚽🇨🇦

Jesse Marsch, Head Coach of Canada’s Men’s National Team, is joining Chris Pinkerton, Managing Director of Employment Hero Canada, for a conversation about leading through uncertainty, building accountability and creating teams that stay resilient through change.

Previously, getting a candidate through the screening stages took the team at Thermosash roughly 10 hours.

Now, with our AI Recruitment Agent replicating an in-person first meeting, they’re reviewing 10 applicants in 20 minutes.

That’s exactly how Craig Gillett, Group General Manager of People & Capability, tackled the daunting challenge of sorting through 1,200 flawless applications for a single role.

Crucially, while the agent handles the heavy lifting of the initial screening, humans remain in complete control of the final hiring decisions.

Instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars outsourcing to agencies, Thermosash has successfully brought full-service, fact-based recruitment entirely in-house.

What happens to a generation that can’t get its foot in the door?

According to a UN labour report, global youth unemployment reached 12.4%, with 67 million people aged 15 to 24 left out of work. Canada’s youth unemployment sits at 12.6%, nearly double the national average.

It’s easy to blame AI eating up entry-level roles. But the root issue goes deeper: economic slowdowns have frozen hiring across the board, hitting early-career workers hardest in volatile sectors like retail and food service.

Here’s why this matters long-term:

🟣 Missing critical training: A first job isn't just about a paycheck—it’s where people learn how work actually functions.

🟣 Compounding economic loss: Deloitte estimates this generational gap could shave $18.5 billion off Canada's GDP by 2034.

🟣 The real danger isn't just a temporary hiring freeze—it's building a workforce with a massive structural hole in the middle.
