Led by CEO Darrian Mikell, Qualifi provides an audio-based platform that enables recruiters to phone screen multiple candidates simultaneously. Candidates respond to pre-recorded questions over a standard phone call, and because there’s no need for scheduling or phone tag, recruiters can vet seven times more candidates per day on average. The platform captures rich, actionable data so that recruiters can make the best hiring decisions without bias and scale their efforts with integrations to more than 30 of the top Applicant Tracking Systems.Companies of all sizes and industries – ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 enterprises within healthcare, call centers, warehouse, logistics, construction, hospitality and more – leveraged the platform to qualify tens of thousands of candidates in 2021 alone.18/02/2022
