Every Recruiting Leader Faces a Crisis in 2025
Volume Explosion
- LinkedIn & Indeed made it easier to apply.
- Zero increase in quality, 100% increase in noise.
- Average time-to-hire: 45+ days.
- 88% of organizations struggle with talent acquisition.
Resume Obsolescence
- "The human doesn't represent the resume and the resume doesn't represent the human".
- 75% of qualified candidates filtered out by ATS.
- Top 10% at state schools can't compete with privileged 25% from elite institutions.
Interview Gaming
- You can't trust what candidates say anymore.
- "There's this awkward pause after the question—it's very clear they're typing it into ChatGPT".
- Traditional phone screens are worthless.
The Cost
- 40% of new hires fail within 18 months.
- Average cost per hire: $4,700+ (and rising with AI pollution).
- Cost of bad hire: $50,000+ per year in direct and indirect costs.
Your CEO Has an AI Mandate.
Your Workforce is the Bottleneck.
Priority #1: AI Implementation (71% of CEOs)
- 71% of CEOs list AI as a top priority in 2025.
- 61% actively adopting AI agents and preparing to implement at scale.
- AI investment growth rates expected to more than double in next two years.
Priority #2: The Workforce Barrier (55% cite this as top concern)
- 55% of CEOs cite lack of workforce readiness, skills, and adoption as their top AI concern.
- 87% of CEOs expect workforce skill gaps to emerge over the next few years.
- 77% of leaders would rather hire less experienced candidates with AI skills than experienced ones without them.
The Disconnect:
Your CEO is betting on AI transformation. You're investing millions in the technology. But you're hiring people using the same broken process from the pre-AI economy:
- AI-polluted resumes that all look perfect
- Interviews gamed with ChatGPT
- Credentials that don't predict AI-native performance
- College degrees that don't teach AI-economy skills
The Result:
- Only 23% of large company CEOs attribute more than 10% of cost savings to AI.
- Not because the technology doesn't work
- Because they don't have the AI-native workforce to implement it at scale.
AI Leaders (17% seeing 10%+ impact) do things differently:
- 3x more likely to invest in long-term business transformation
- 2x more likely to pursue M&A for capabilities
- More likely to hire middle and senior management
- More focused on replacing junior positions with AI while retaining managers
The difference? They have the talent to execute.
Provn solves your CEO's #1 AI implementation barrier: finding AI-native talent who can actually do the work.

Common Questions
Q: How long does it take to create a challenge?
A: 15 minutes if you use one from our library (we have 50+ proven challenges). 30-60 minutes if you want to create a fully custom one (and we'll help).
Q: What if candidates cheat or use AI to complete challenges?
A: Candidates must declare and explain what AI they are using. The video walkthrough is where authenticity shows. Candidates explain their thinking, decisions, and tradeoffs. If they used AI to generate code they don't understand, it becomes obvious in the walkthrough.
Q: How many candidates typically apply to each job?
A: It depends on the role. Assume 10-20% of applicants will complete the challenges so 20-50 applicants per posting. Much more manageable than traditional job boards (200-500+) because the challenge requirement filters for serious candidates.
Q: Can I integrate with our existing ATS?
A: ATS integration is available with Enterprise plans.
Q: What types of roles work best?
A: All Information Worker and Technical roles (AI/ML engineers, data scientists, FDEs), analytical roles (consultants, analysts, PMs), and any role where demonstrable skills matter more than pedigree.
Q: Do you help us create challenges?
A: Absolutely. Every customer gets a dedicated success manager who helps design effective challenges for your specific roles.
