TORONTO—Built for Canada’s toughest hiring market in years, Employment Hero, the global leader in HR, hiring and payroll software, today launched their Recruitment Agent powered by Hero AI. The embedded hiring assistant dramatically reduces screening time for small and medium-sized businesses while giving candidates a fairer, more structured path to getting noticed.
Natively built into Employment Hero’s AI-powered Employment Operating System, the Recruitment Agent automates the most time-consuming stage of hiring: first-round screening interviews, delivered through a structured, AI-led video conversation where a voice prompts role-specific questions and assesses cognitive, vocational and cultural fit.
At the core of Recruitment Agent is Hero AI, Employment Hero’s proprietary intelligence engine. Hero AI powers the company’s growing suite of agents – from conversational voice interviews to intelligent shortlisting and smart matching – embedding decision-support directly into the hiring workflow rather than layering it on top.
The same intelligence also powers “Ask Hero AI,” a platform-wide assistant that gives employers instant access to policy guidance, organizational insights and HR support within the platform.
CHICAGO—-Goodwork today announced it is rebranding as Tallēwise, marking a significant shift in the company’s direction and product vision. What began as a healthcare job board has evolved into an AI-powered talent matching platform built to bring greater intelligence, transparency, and alignment to how healthcare professionals and employers connect.
The rebrand reflects a shift away from a traditional job board to a more modern hiring platform, one that uses AI to match candidates with roles, flips the process so employers compete for talent, and includes real-time hiring events. A defining feature of the Tallēwise experience is anonymity: clinicians can explore opportunities and participate in live events without revealing their identity until they choose to engage. This gives healthcare professionals a level of control and privacy that has historically been absent from the hiring process.
The rebrand also signals the beginning of a new chapter for the company, with additional platform capabilities planned for release in the coming months.
“Healthcare has a talent problem, and it runs deeper than supply alone. The right clinicians often exist, but connecting them to the right opportunities at the right time, on their terms, has never been easy. Tallēwise is built to make that connection smarter, faster, and more transparent for everyone involved,” said Seyb.
