Joveo, the global leader in AI-led, high-performance recruitment marketing, announced today the launch of its new AI Career Site Builder, purpose-built for recruitment marketing and talent acquisition (TA) professionals. This revolutionary content management system (CMS) enables TA teams to build high-converting career sites, landing pages, and microsites within minutes, using simple prompts.
Nearly half of U.S. workers — 47% — said they polywork, or hold multiple jobs or roles at one time rather than depend on a single primary employer for income, according to a June report from Monster. In this survey of more than 700 U.S. workers, 51% say their additional monthly income from polyworking is “absolutely essential,” and they couldn’t cover basic costs without it, Monster found.
Artificial intelligence recruitment platform startup Metaview Labs Inc. has snagged $35 million in funding from investors including Google Ventures, building on a $7 million Series A investment that was closed one year earlier. The startup, which was co-founded by former Uber Technologies Inc. and Palantir Inc. executives, said in today’s announcement it wants to transform the way enterprises recruit staff by using AI to automate much of the heavy lifting involved.
Job growth proved better than expected in June, boosted by government hiring, as the labor market showed surprising resilience and likely took a July interest rate cut off the table. Nonfarm payrolls increased a seasonally adjusted 147,000 for the month, higher than the estimate for 110,000 and just above the upwardly revised 144,000 in May, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday. April’s tally also saw a small upward revision, now at 158,000 following an 11,000 increase.
Google’s recent unveiling of what it calls a “new class of agentic experiences” feels like a turning point. At its I/O 2025 event in May, for example, the company showed off a digital assistant that didn’t just answer questions; it helped work on a bicycle repair by finding a matching user manual, locating a YouTube tutorial, and even calling a local store to ask about a part, all with minimal human nudging. Such capabilities could soon extend far outside the Google ecosystem. The company has introduced an open standard called Agent-to-Agent, or A2A, which aims to let agents from different companies talk to each other and work together. The vision is exciting: Intelligent software agents that act like digital coworkers, booking your flights, rescheduling meetings, filing expenses, and talking to each other behind the scenes to get things done. But if we’re not careful, we’re going to derail the whole idea before it has a chance to deliver real benefits. As with many tech trends, there’s a risk of hype racing ahead of reality. And when expectations get out of hand, a backlash isn’t far behind.
