Cover of Recruitment Byte Issue 01, The Recruitment AI Briefing Sample page: can your agency use AI to screen CVs without breaking UK GDPR? Sample page: your two options, where it bites in agency workflows, and questions for your supplier

Plenty of sources, few built for agencies

AI assistants

Quick answers, but not checked against UK law or current prices.

Consultants

Expert advice, but costly to retain just to stay up to date.

Newsletters

Broad AI news, rarely specific to agency recruitment.

Tool directories

Show what exists, not what’s worth paying for or how it fits an agency.

Recruitment Byte brings the parts together: sourced, independent and written for UK recruitment agencies, every month.
