Popp

🇺🇸 Popp has just won the Talent Tech Innovation Award at the US TIARA Talent Tech Star Awards, and we were Highly Commended for US Workforce Solution of the Year. 2025 has been an exciting year. We’ve scaled fast, winning partnerships with some of the UK and Europe’s leading recruitment businesses along the way, and winning a clean sweep at the UK TIARAs earlier this year, where we took home: 🏆 Best Overall Technology Solution 🏆 Best Enterprise Technology Solution 🏆 Best Candidate Experience Solution Now we’re bringing that same energy to our early expansion across the Atlantic - already delivering standout results for some of the largest enterprise recruitment companies in America. We’re laying the foundations for a huge 2026 for Popp in the USA. Well done to the whole Popp team, and thank you to all our clients across the world for trusting us, and for working with us to build the future of recruitment and talent acquisition and the next generation of recruiters.

Hiring is still too slow. According to HR magazine, 67% of UK employers say it takes too long to hire - the average time to fill a role is 36+ days. No wonder 50% lose great candidates along the way. The problem isn’t a lack of talent. It’s broken processes - legacy systems and endless administrative steps that frustrate recruiters and distract them from adding strategic value; and leave candidates feeling disillusioned with generic comms, biased screening, and a total lack of feedback or transparency. ⚡At Popp, we move faster. Average time-to-hire for perm roles: <18 days. But it's not all about speed - building the future means building rapid processes without sacrificing quality, or compromising the fair, transparent, and personalised processes that candidates love. We've handled hundreds of thousands of candidate journeys and score 4.8/5 on average from candidate feedback surveys. And higher still from our recruiter reviews.

A special congratulations to two of our earliest partners, Felix Mitchell and Jessica Morgan MSc from Instant Impact, for their incredible clean sweep of awards, including the overall best Talent Solutions provider - beating enormous companies with 100x the resources.

The future of AI in recruitment isn't coming - it's here. And the conversation has moved beyond "if" to "how" to implement it responsibly. Tomorrow our Founder/COO James Cochrane-Dyet joins industry leaders Tom Lakin and Sarah-Jane Walker from Robert Walters, and Robert Newry from Arctic Shores for a frank discussion about AI's real-world impact on recruitment and talent acquisition teams. At Popp, we've built our AI-native operating system around one principle: augmenting human capability, not replacing it. Our work with enterprise clients like Robert Walters has shown us both the immense potential of AI when deployed responsibly and the critical considerations every organization needs to address to realize transformative potential in recruitment operations. This panel will cut through the hype to explore: - What's actually delivering results vs. what's just noise - The risks every TA team needs to consider when adopting AI - How to prepare your organization for responsible AI adoption - The evolving balance between AI efficiency and human expertise 📅 Join the conversation September 24th at 3PM BST. 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/euXuVGX6

Our COO James Cochrane-Dyet, is joining Robert Walters' webinar alongside Tom Lakin, Sarah-Jane Walker, and Robert Newry from Arctic Shores to explore what's working, what's not, and how teams are adapting. They'll be tackling practical questions including: 1. What’s the current state of AI in recruitment? 2. How is AI genuinely changing the HR and recruitment landscape in 2025 and beyond? 3. How can organisations use AI in a way that results in tangible benefits for their talent acquisition efforts? 4. What are the risks every HR and recruitment leader should be concerned about? 🗓️ Join us on September 24th, 2025 at 3PM BST for an honest discussion about AI's real impact on recruitment. 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/euXuVGX6
