With over three decades of experience in Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), including a significant 22-year tenure at Alorica, Cheri is renowned for her expertise in high-volume hiring, a talent that greatly enhances TelAffects’ operational capabilities. Her leadership and strategic approach have been pivotal in driving TelAffects’ mission to effectively influence customer behavior, leading to successful acquisition campaigns across a variety of industries.
Problem
The primary challenge TelAffects faced was in its high-volume hiring process. Recruiting for roles such as customer service and outbound sales, the company needed to hire 50-60 new employees every month (two classes of 25 to 30 each month).
Traditional hiring methods, reliant on platforms like Indeed, yielded an overwhelming response but were inefficient, time-consuming, and costly. The recruitment process involved multiple recruiters, extensive background checks, and a complex interview process, often taking three to four weeks to fill a class.
This approach was not only slow but also resulted in high staff costs and significant expenditure on job advertising platforms.
Solution
The introduction of Hellohire marked a turning point in TelAffects’ recruitment strategy. This AI-driven platform transformed the hiring process from a traditional recruiter-heavy approach to a more streamlined, efficient, and cost-effective method. Key features of the Hellohire solution included:
- Automated Pre-Screening: Candidates were immediately engaged through emails and text messages with links to detailed pre-screening processes and informative videos about the organization and job roles.
- Efficient Scheduling: Hellohire enabled quick scheduling of interviews, allowing candidates to self-select interview times if they passed the pre-screening.
- Enhanced Interview Process: The platform facilitated shorter, more focused interviews, leveraging AI to provide summaries and recordings for review by hiring managers.
- Candidate Engagement: The use of AI allowed for personalized communication and a better understanding of candidates’ profiles.
Results
Implementing Hellohire brought remarkable results for TelAffects:
- Reduced Recruitment Time: The time to fill classes was significantly reduced from weeks to days, with a more efficient interview process.
- Cost Savings: TelAffects saved over $70,000 in staff costs and reduced monthly expenses on job advertising platforms by more than $800.
- Improved Candidate Quality: Contrary to initial concerns, the quality of candidates was maintained, debunking the myth that automated pre-screening would lead to lower quality hires.
- Enhanced Candidate Experience: Feedback from candidates was overwhelmingly positive, with many appreciating the streamlined and engaging recruitment process.
