Exciting Developments in Our HR Department!
We recently introduced a cutting-edge software that has revolutionized our hiring process. What used to take hours or even days can now be streamlined within just minutes!
This technology has effectively reduced our HR assistant team from six to just one. The software creates customized scripts to screen and conduct interviews with candidates, evaluating their communication skills, tone, technical expertise, and cultural alignment. It then cross-references this information with their resumes, ensuring we receive legitimate candidates. Finally, it generates a recommended shortlist of the top applicants based on our specific criteria.
As a result, five of our HR assistants have transitioned into more challenging roles, which have significantly contributed to our monthly recurring revenue (MRR).
Our talent leaders now have a powerful acquisition co-pilot that handles many administrative tasks that assistants previously tackled. This shift occurred because our team leaders were spending far too much time on the administrative side of recruitment. I was also frustrated with agencies that demanded high fees for mediocre candidates, which still required excessive HR hours.
Here are the key benefits we’ve experienced:
- Cost Savings: We’ve saved over $20,000 in agency fees and reallocated assistant salaries to revenue-generating positions.
- Efficiency & Speed: Our time to hire has dramatically decreased from 32 days to just 9 days since December 24.
- Quality: We can now focus more on finding the right fit. Since December, we’ve successfully filled 15 positions, with a goal of hiring 80-140 by year-end.
- Revenue Impact: Four out of five Account Executive positions we’ve filled have already generated a combined $1.1 million in revenue this year. In the fintech sector, this is significant, as it prevents an estimated $150,000 revenue loss per vacant role.
I’ve been exploring innovative hiring strategies to shift from a reactive to a proactive recruitment approach, and after extensive research, we have now secured a promising platform.
I’m eager to hear from others who are experiencing similar transformations. How has your journey been? Our board is thrilled with these changes, and I wonder how many more companies would benefit from software that can manage the majority of the early-stage hiring processes.

For anyone considering this transition, it’s essential to ensure that the chosen technology aligns with your company’s culture and values while also maintaining a personal touch in the hiring process. Technology can enhance the process, but the human element remains crucial in making final hiring decisions.
