I work for a company in the legal recruiting industry (https://hireanesquire.com/) and we've been trying to tackle some of the biggest issues with recruiting -- albeit specifically for the legal industry.

At the end of the day, our goal is to create successful job placements. We've learned that there is surprisingly a lot of science in I/O psychology behind predicting job performance based on personality traits [0]. We've been developing an assessment system with a behavioral psychologist to measure personality traits that could predict a successful job outcome. To be honest, I'm surprised this hasn't caught on with the recruiting industry already. It's been working out well for us and I would expect to see more of this across different industries in the future.

I work for a company that is trying to change how hiring and recruiting is done in the legal industry (https://hireanesquire.com/), and we are always comparing ourselves to OkCupid in terms of how we should be matching our candidates to our jobs. This analogy holds true. In fact, we recently launched our fit score assessment system which essentially boils down to (you guessed it) both sides answering questions.

Dating websites are actually really good at matching people, and recruiters can learn a lot from them.
