SmartRecruiters Unveils Winston: AI That Keeps Hiring Human

SmartRecruiters proudly unveils Winston, the AI-powered recruiting companion that is set to disrupt the recruitment technology space. Winston doesn’t just reduce administrative tasks — he eliminates them entirely.  From screening candidates and scheduling interviews to sending follow-up notes, Winston frees hiring teams to focus on the most human part of the process — the interview. This launch marks a bold step forward in SmartRecruiters’ vision of “SmartRecruiters 3.0”, signaling the end of the traditional ATS and the beginning of an AI-driven era where hiring teams can achieve superhuman results.

At the heart of this transformation is Winston — a charismatic AI companion who is both the face and the intelligence behind SmartRecruiters’ AI-driven platform. With his cheerful personality and advanced capabilities, Winston, the familiar face of SmartRecruiters, makes the complex world of hiring more accessible, enjoyable, and, above all, smarter. Imagine a system that molds itself to your needs — where every interaction is intuitive, interfaces adapt in real-time, and insights are surfaced before you even realize you need them. That’s the future with Winston.

Rebecca Carr, CEO of SmartRecruiters, shared her thoughts on Winston’s revolutionary impact. “The traditional ATS isn’t meeting the expectations of hiring managers and recruiters. It’s no longer serving the demands of modern hiring — especially in high-volume, high-turnover industries, such as retail and manufacturing. We needed something more adaptive, more human, and that’s Winston. He’s not just a feature; he’s the future of recruitment technology, designed to remove the manual, administrative burden from hiring teams, giving them back the time to focus on the heart of hiring: connecting with great talent.”
