- No. 023
Feedback loops that make the AI sharper (not louder)
Not all feedback is training signal. Which corrections Holi weights heavily, which it ignores by design, and why the difference matters.
- No. 021
Ending the day at inbox zero without lying to yourself
Inbox zero is a lie when it means everything got filed. It is honest when it means every item was decided. Command Center makes the honest version practical.
- No. 019
The follow-up cadence specialist desks actually use
Not the sequencer default. The cadence pattern the top-quartile specialist recruiters in our cohort run, and how Holi's outreach layer matches it per-recipient.
- No. 017
When repurposing becomes recycling (and how to tell)
Repurpose is a multiplier. Recycling is a smell. Three tests for whether your outputs are still doing their job or just filling space.
- No. 016
One conversation, five artefacts
Walk through what repurpose actually produces from a single thirty-minute candidate call, artefact by artefact, in the recruiter's own voice.
- No. 015
Signals worth capturing from a job spec
Most of a spec is furniture. The three or four lines that matter are the ones Holi's capture layer pulls forward before you start sourcing.
- No. 014
Reading a candidate profile in 90 seconds
The specialist's shortcut: what to look at first, what to ignore, and how Holi's capture layer does the same read at machine speed.
- No. 011
Outreach that sounds like you, at cohort scale
Tone presets, source-attributed drafting, and cadence patterns that hold up in specialist niches where recipients actually notice the difference.
- No. 010
Repurpose: turning one signal into five moves
One conversation, five artefacts. How Holi's repurpose layer takes a single captured signal and drafts everything downstream in one pass.
- No. 009
What "capture" actually means for a specialist recruiter
The intake layer of the loop. Reading a profile, a spec, or an inbound the way a specialist would, then storing what matters with the source still attached.
- No. 008
The candidate experience gap in specialist recruitment
Specialist candidates do not judge you by your ATS or your careers page. They judge you by whether the second conversation remembers the first.
- No. 007
Using AI in recruitment without losing your voice
The recruiters who win with AI are not the ones who let it write for them. They are the ones who use it to think faster and then insist on their own voice at the send step.
- No. 006
The specialist recruiter tech stack in 2026
A field report on what specialist recruiters actually run day to day, what has been quietly retired, and where the leverage now lives.
- No. 005
Recruiter cold email that gets replies (without the AI smell)
Templates are dead. What replaces them is a short, specific note that could only have been written to one person, in one niche, this week.
