High-volume retail hiring has never been an easy task. Thousands of hours a year are spent screening resumes manually. Artificial intelligence for recruiting wants to give you that time back.

As CEO of GE, Jack Welch championed HR over any other department, saying on multiple occasions, “HR is the driving force behind what makes a winning team.”

So why are we letting our most important department waste hours scanning resumes manually?

Until recently, AI was not easily accessible for employers. The technology wasn’t advanced enough to become a part of the professional recruiting workflow. Today, innovations in AI are enabling it to quickly earn its spot in the HR technology stack. It’s time to think of artificial intelligence as a competitive advantage.

For high-volume retail hiring, AI technology is able to instantly screen, sort and shortlist thousands of candidates—and that’s just the beginning. Recruiting AI is designed to learn and replicate your most successful hires. The system continues to improve the quality of its candidate scoring until you have found the perfect formula for your company.

In the future of retail recruiting, artificial intelligence will become talent acquisition’s MVP.

Retailers using Ideal’s Intelligent Screening have shown, on average, a 196% increase in qualified candidates and a 71% cost reduction per hire.
