Introduction: The Challenge of Manual Resume Screening
In the fast-paced world of recruitment, time is the most valuable resource. For small and mid-sized recruitment agencies, the hours spent manually sifting through hundreds of resumes can lead to inefficiencies, missed deadlines, and frustrated clients.
This was the reality for SmartHire Solutions, a 10-recruiter agency specializing in tech talent. The team faced mounting pressure to deliver high-quality candidates faster, but their manual screening process was slowing them down.
Then they discovered Algohire’s automated candidate screening—a feature that revolutionized their hiring process.
