People Behind People - real stories about the people behind hiring

Recruiters are the architects of our work environments. They connect people and teams, help companies grow, and guide candidates to the right opportunities.

At Glozo, a new project has kicked off  - People Behind People. It’s a series of interviews spotlighting those who make hiring happen. These are stories of people who see recruiting not just as a job, but as a choice rooted in empathy, strategy, and real-world resilience.

Our first episode features Rachel Cupples, a recruiter who truly sees hiring as her calling. Her approach is built on partnership, inclusion, and creating positive experiences for everyone involved. If you work in talent, it’s worth a watch - thoughtful, relatable, and inspiring. The first post in the series is now live on Glozo’s LinkedIn:

Recruiting in 2025 is a $642B Market - and Still Growing

According to a recent report by Mordor Intelligence, the global recruiting market is now valued at $642.3 billion in 2025. And it’s not slowing down - by 2030, it could reach nearly $1 trillion.

What’s driving this growth?

Companies are hiring more contractors and temporary staff, outsourcing recruiting, and adopting AI to speed up sourcing and cut back on repetitive tasks.

Small and mid-sized businesses are especially active. More teams are moving away from spreadsheets and scattered workflows - and starting to recruit with real tools.

That’s why platforms like Glozo aren’t just nice to have. They’re becoming essential for anyone who wants to hire faster, more accurately, and without the mess.
