Highlight value in numbers. Not just promises.
These are representative ranges that hiring leaders use to estimate ROI. The exact impact depends on role complexity, seniority, and interview loop design.
Interview hours
20–40% fewer
Fewer repeat screening loops; final interviews focus on risk areas.
Time-to-decision
25–45% faster
Decision brief aligns stakeholders earlier.
Cost of vacancy
Lower
Quicker shortlists with verified signal reduces idle capacity.
Hiring context
What leaders want to avoid
The problem is rarely “no candidates”. It’s low signal, repeated screening loops, and mis-hire risk that only appears post-offer.
Strong interviewers, inconsistent hiring manager calibration. Candidates ace “leetcode” but struggle with production reliability and incident thinking. Time-to-hire creeping up with repeated screening loops.
