How Sam helps craft recruiters generate 4x more interviews
Hiring skilled craft workers has always been a race against time and inefficiency. Recruiters are constantly battling low response rates, missed calls, and outdated hiring processes that make it harder to connect with workers.
But with Skillit, craft recruiters are now 4X more effective at turning outreach into hires.
Why traditional hiring falls short
Looking at the traditional hiring funnel, recruiters face several roadblocks:
Only 15% of workers pick up the first call.
Another 20% respond later, but 76% of those never hear back from recruiters.
In the end, just 16.8% of outreach turns into interviews leading to only 3.4 hires per 100 workers contacted.
This means most recruiters spend more time chasing workers than actually hiring them.
How Skillit & Sam transform the craft hiring funnel
With Skillit’s craft labor network and Sam’s automation, recruiters see significant improvements at every step:
More active phone numbers: Skillit ensures workers’ phone numbers are up to date, increasing the percentage of reachable candidates.
More workers pick up the first call: Instead of waiting, Sam follows up, instantly switching to text when a worker doesn’t answer. Using our Skillit-branded caller ID feature, workers know it’s Skillit calling with an opportunity which makes it more liekly they pick up.
More workers get responses from recruiters: Surprisingly, one of the biggest bottlenecks is in fact recruiters not responding to workers fast enough. Sam fixes this by ensuring every worker gets a response, eliminating lost opportunities.
More phone interviews : With Sam handling scheduling, follow-ups, and reminders, recruiters spend zero time chasing resulting in the same initial cohort of workers called converting to 4X more interviews.
