Let’s start with a bold statement.

AI can now do one of the most painful parts of hiring — better than humans.

No awkward nudges.
No repeated reminders.
No recruiter burnout.

⏱️ A Number That Made Us Pause

143,000 minutes — a number we didn’t set out to achieve, but one that happened organically as real conversations unfolded.

These weren’t test calls or vanity metrics, but genuine follow-ups with real candidates, quietly moving background verification forward, one conversation at a time.

The best marketing ideas come from marketers who live it. That’s what The Marketing Millennials delivers: real insights, fresh takes, and no fluff. Written by Daniel Murray, a marketer who knows what works, this newsletter cuts through the noise so you can stop guessing and start winning. Subscribe and level up your marketing game.

🚀 All this in just 4 months

Since introducing AI Calling, SpringVerify has completed 1 million follow-up calls, delivered significantly higher BGV form completion, and made the entire verification journey smoother.

Doing this manually would have required 27 extremely patient people, so we chose a different route.

Our AI doesn’t get annoyed, doesn’t forget, and follows up every single time — all while maintaining a near-perfect candidate experience with no pressure, no frustration, and no endless chasing. The result is background verification that’s smooth, digital, automated, and completely stress-free.

The best HR advice comes from people who’ve been in the trenches.

That’s what this newsletter delivers.

I Hate it Here is your insider’s guide to surviving and thriving in HR, from someone who’s been there. It’s not about theory or buzzwords — it’s about practical, real-world advice for navigating everything from tricky managers to messy policies.

Every newsletter is written by Hebba Youssef — a Chief People Officer who’s seen it all and is here to share what actually works (and what doesn’t). We’re talking real talk, real strategies, and real support — all with a side of humor to keep you sane.

Because HR shouldn’t feel like a thankless job. And you shouldn’t feel alone in it.

🤝 Partner with SpringVerify

If background verification is part of your hiring process, it shouldn’t slow you down.

SpringVerify helps teams move away from manual follow-ups and into AI-powered, automated BGV workflows — without compromising candidate experience.

Because follow-ups should work quietly in the background.
Just like great technology does.
