A Conversation With Carol: How AI Helped Her Avoid Bad Hires

Q: What made you realize you needed to change your hiring process?

Carol: We had a string of hires who left or underperformed within weeks. The signs were there—we were rushing to fill roles and relying too much on resumes alone. That’s when I realized we needed a better way to avoid bad hires and reduce early turnover.

Q: How did you come across CloudApper AI Recruiter?

Carol: A colleague recommended it after they used it for high-volume roles. I liked that it didn’t just automate the process—it actually helped screen candidates and highlight good fits. We started with just two job openings to test it out.

Q: What was different once you started using it?

Carol: Immediately, we saw a shift. The system filtered out poor-fit candidates early and allowed strong ones to move forward faster. CloudApper’s AI Recruiting Solution handled screening questions, availability checks, and even scheduled interviews. I spent less time sorting through applicants and more time interviewing the right ones.

Q: Were you concerned AI would remove the “human touch” from hiring?

Carol: A little. But it actually improved the experience. Candidates felt engaged because they got faster responses, and I had more time to focus on meaningful conversations. It didn’t replace me—it made my role more strategic.

Q: What specific results have you seen since using the tool?

Carol: We’ve reduced our bad hires significantly. Turnover dropped, our time-to-hire went down by nearly 50%, and hiring managers are happier with the quality of people coming in. CloudApper AI for Talent Acquisition gave us the consistency and structure we were missing.

Q: What would you say to someone considering CloudApper’s AI Recruiting Tool?

Carol: Don’t wait. If you’re constantly rehiring or dealing with mismatched employees, it’s time to try something different. This tool helped us avoid bad hires without adding extra work—it actually saved us time and headaches.
