This year, the SmartRecruiters team unveiled Winston, its live AI Agent that set a new industry benchmark in how organisations approach, improve and streamline hiring. More than a feature, Winston is an operational foundation designed to enhance human decision-making, not replace it. Its four powerful functions work together to transform the hiring journey: Winston Match identifies top candidates and offers proactive suggestions, Winston Screen replaces manual resume reviews with intelligent shortlisting, Winston Chat personalises job recommendations and guides candidates, and Winston Companion automates repetitive tasks like screening and scheduling – delivering measurable efficiency and quality-of-hire improvements.
