We use AI through our internal recruiting system, Recruit Reply.  Recruit Reply supports the staffing process in defined ways.

Where Is AI Used in the Process?

Our internal system, Recruit Reply, uses AI tools to carry out 4 main functions:

• Helps search our vast candidate database
• Handles administrative tasks such as resume formatting
• Proofreads and suggests edits to job descriptions, emails, offer letters, and candidate assessment
• Analyzes candidate interviews for recruiters’ reference only

AI allows us to focus on what matters most: getting to know and serving candidates and clients.

What Does AI Not Do?

Our AI recruiting platform never:

• Conducts interviews
• Makes decisions on which candidates to present to a client
• Writes emails, candidate screening outlines, job descriptions, or offer letters
