I recently spoke with an HR leader whose team handles 4,000 resumes every time they try to fill one role.

Her solution? “We need a faster algorithm to sort them.”

But maybe the problem isn’t speed.

What if we stopped trying to filter people through algorithms — and started learning their stories instead?

Because the truth is, hiring isn’t about data points.

It’s about connection.
