- hackajob’s AI voice agents complete equivalent of 24 days of call time every week; drive 24x increase in successfully matching candidates to roles; and fill a role every 28 minutes
- Global tech hiring platform trusted by clients including American Express, GSK, BBC, British Airways and Tesco
hackajob, the AI-native tech hiring platform trusted by enterprises, scale ups, and 1M+ tech professionals globally, has launched a trilogy of AI voice agents whose autonomous actions eliminate the admin that slows down tech hiring - freeing talent acquisition (TA) teams to get back to doing what they do best: hiring the best people to fill roles and providing those people with a more rewarding, human-led experience.
Today’s TA leaders face a perfect storm: their teams have shrunk and their businesses are recruiting less, yet demand from employers to fill technical roles is sky high - particularly where roles require AI expertise - and they’re handling a deluge of applications, many of which are nonsense or fake. It now takes 340 applications to make a tech hire (up 3.8x since 2021)*, and the number of AI roles is up 450% in the same period**. TA teams are drowning in admin, with less time to give the best candidates a strong first impression and clear sense of company culture.
“Tech recruitment is a constant challenge,” says Andrew Groves, Head of UK Recruitment, at Capco, the global technology and management consultancy. “The volume of applications can be very high, with quality varying widely. It’s a major drain on time, time we’d much rather spend giving the best talent the hiring experience they deserve.”
hackajob’s new AI voice agents - Chase, Archer and Thena - were built to address this issue:
-
Chase interprets your hiring managers’ needs then sources, engages and qualifies tech talent that fits the bill - from hackajob’s community and beyond.
- Since soft-launching, Chase is holding 10,000s of conversations with candidates every week. This is the equivalent of 24 days of call time every week, running 24/7 with talent across the globe
- Archer converts more applications by inviting only the right talent to apply directly into your ATS (application tracking system)
- Since soft-launching, Archer has driven a 24x increase in candidates successfully matched to roles; 17% of applications that Archer converts lead to interview invitations vs an industry average of just 3%, making the agent 6x more effective than traditional job boards
- Crucially, one in three candidates Archer inspires to apply have never applied to the hiring company before, unlocking access to passive talent employers would otherwise miss
- In pilots with enterprise clients handling significant application volumes each month, Thena has reduced manual review time by over 70%, filtering out irrelevant applications and dramatically increasing recruiter efficiency.
- And Thena intelligently evaluates ATS applications to instantly identify your best-fit candidates.
Today, hackajob is the leading technical hiring platform globally whose principal operations are in the world’s largest tech hubs: US, UK, and India. Its AI-powered platform boasts a one-million-strong community of specialist technology candidates and has helped recruiters fill roles for international clients like American Express, GSK, BBC, British Airways and Tesco. Today hackajob employs a team of 50 with offices in London and New York.
Last year, hackajob reimagined its entire platform infrastructure and matching technology, becoming one of the earliest recruitment marketplaces to embed enhanced AI capability. Today hackajob intelligence is the most sophisticated AI talent matching platform in the world, processing over 50,000 jobs and 100,000s of candidates since its release in July 2024. Using biometric screening, hackajob intelligence verifies candidates’ identities, reducing significantly the number of fake candidates entering the system. Crucially, hackajob intelligence has reduced the number of interviews required to make a hire by 68%, cutting companies’ OpEx dramatically at a time when employers are receiving almost record volumes of applications.
Mark Chaffey, Co-Founder & CEO of hackajob comments: “As a sector, recruitment was quick to look at AI and ask: how can this make our lives easier and our working processes better? But not all AI is created equal. At hackajob, we’ve spent the last decade building the largest dataset of first-party talent and hiring interactions in our space, investing in deeper automation and maintaining a crystal-clear focus on data quality and matching accuracy. These foundations mean our AI doesn’t just sound smart – it actually works in the messy, real world of recruiting.”
AI voice agents take hackajob’s proposition a considerable step further, delivering intuitive technology that doesn’t just assist recruiters to work faster or smarter, but actually does the work for them. This frees up recruiters’ time to do more rewarding, human-focused work.
“With Chase, Archer and Thena, we’re now turning our deep data knowledge into true Agentic AI. hackajob intelligence powers our agents, who in turn are empowering the platform to now secure a hire for one of our clients every 28 minutes. The result is a better experience for candidates, more effective recruiters, and huge efficiency gains for employers,” Chaffey concludes. “For us, it’s simple: if AI doesn’t improve the candidate experience, reduce bias and help companies hire better, it’s the wrong AI. With a decade of data behind us, we’re showing what the right AI looks like: trusted, scalable and transformative.”
Rachel Heron, Global Head of Talent Acquisition & People Operations at Kainos: “Switching to hackajob intelligence last year has driven significant cost and resource efficiencies throughout our hiring process. The number of interviews we need to complete to make a hire on hackajob has reduced by 3x. Now, by empowering our TA teams with hackajob’s agents, we’re getting to experience a powerful demonstration of the scale of these efficiencies that only AI voice agents can deliver.”
