A few months ago, I needed to hire for a key position. The job ad was online for just three days, yet we received over 250 applications. Normally, reviewing them would take days — sometimes even weeks.
This time, I tried a different approach: I used an AI-powered screening tool that automatically analyzed CVs based on set criteria — core skills, relevant experience, even cultural fit inferred from the language and tone of the application.
In less than an hour, I had a shortlist of 15 candidates who best matched our needs. But the real value was in the extra insights — for example, which candidates had shown consistent career growth or had worked in environments similar to ours.
Instead of spending hours on mechanical filtering, I could focus on meaningful conversations and asking the right questions. The result? We hired the right person twice as fast as usual.
