We ran the same 2,000-applicant warehouse and retail hiring push through ten platforms, from mobile apply flows to background-check handoffs. The surprise was not which tool screened fastest. It was how much of the drop-off happened before a recruiter ever looked at a single candidate.
Written by Alexandra RashedAfter running one sales-hiring plan through ten platforms, our team found fewer than half were built to hire salespeople at all.
