šŸ’„ Unshitifying Hiring, Part 5: We Don't Need More Data. We Need Better Decisions.

šŸ“Š Hiring Isn't Lacking Information—It's Lacking Insight

If you've been involved in hiring recently, you know this feeling:

You're staring at a spreadsheet full of resumes.
You've got LinkedIn open in one tab, an ATS in another, Calendly links flying around, and a Slack thread that's 30 messages deep about one candidate.

There's no shortage of data.
There's a shortage of clarity.

And clarity is the one thing you actually need to make a good hiring decision.


😵 The Illusion of Data-Driven Hiring

We've convinced ourselves that "data-driven" hiring means:

  • More metrics
  • More filters
  • More screening tools
  • More dashboards
  • More meetings to interpret what the dashboards are saying

But all this data often leads to:

  • Decision fatigue
  • Slower time to hire
  • Overcomplication
  • And ironically… worse outcomes

Why? Because the signal gets buried in the stack.


šŸ’” You Don't Need More Info. You Need the Right Info.

At Vetta, we're not anti-data. We're anti-bloat.

We believe the right hiring data answers two simple questions:

  1. Has this person solved a problem like mine before?
  2. Can they do it again, here?

So that's exactly what Vetta shows you.

  • Candidate match scores are based on past outcomes, not resume tricks
  • STAR-format summaries provide how they solved past challenges
  • You see the reasoning behind every match—not just a number
  • And you're never 15 clicks away from taking action

The goal isn't to analyze hiring better.
The goal is to hire better—faster, and with confidence.


šŸ¤– AI Should Clarify. Not Obfuscate.

Most AI hiring tools just automate the bloat:

  • Faster resume screening
  • Faster rejection emails
  • Faster ways to say no

Vetta's AI does something different:
It surfaces who's solved the problem you're hiring for—and skips everything else.

It doesn't flood you with candidates.
It gives you context-rich fit—so your decision gets easier, not harder.


🧠 Final Thought: Judgment > Junk Metrics

You don't need more dashboards.
You need to trust your judgment—and the data that supports it.

Let's stop hiring like we're chasing click-through rates.

Let's unshitify hiring by giving decision-makers what they really need:

  • Fewer candidates
  • Clearer insight
  • Better outcomes

AI Resume Screening Isn't AI Hiring (And That's Why It's Failing)

If you ask most hiring teams whether they use AI, the answer is yes. But dig deeper, and you'll find their AI is just automating outdated processes. That's not smarter hiring. That's just faster filtering. Hiring isn't broken because it's too slow at filtering. Hiring is broken because it's filtering for the wrong things.
