Why Findem’s acquisition of Getro signals a shift from job posts to outcomes

Talent acquisition is flooded with AI tools, but most hiring teams are still optimizing for activity instead of results. Bad data, shallow signals, and outdated job posts continue to slow real progress, even as technology accelerates. In this episode, the conversation centers on the acquisition of Getro by Findem and what it reveals about the future of recruiting. The focus stays on outcomes over tools, why weak network ties surface the best opportunities, and how intelligent job posts change hiring from a volume game into a precision exercise. What We Cover Why AI struggles in recruiting when data foundations are broken What the Getro acquisition adds to Findem’s talent intelligence model How networking actually drives job discovery Why weak ties outperform strong ties in hiring What it means to turn job posts into intelligent outcomes Key Takeaways AI is not ready for HR because most recruiting data is fragmented, biased, and poorly structured. Without clean inputs, automation simply scales bad decisions faster. The Getro acquisition strengthens Findem by adding community and network signal to traditional talent intelligence. It shifts recruiting closer to how people actually find jobs. Networking remains the most effective job search and hiring mechanism. Weak ties consistently surface higher-quality opportunities than close connections. Job posts should evolve from static descriptions into intelligent systems tied to outcomes. Hiring success improves when posts adapt to signal, fit, and market feedback. The future of recruitment is outcome-centric, not tool-centric. Teams that prioritize quality, relevance, and signal will outperform those chasing volume.
