Challenge

HAPPYCAR needs faster insights about candidates’ personality and communication behaviour during the hiring process. The goal is to increase the quality of candidates interviewed and to save time during the recruitment process

Solution

Especially, for customer care positions, getting quick insights about candidates’ personality upfront is key. Using an AI-video based personality solution helped to solve that problem.

Achievements

HAPPYCAR was able to reduce their time to hire at about 78% and improved their hire satisfaction rate at 40%.

HAPPYCAR found candidates in 3 easy steps

1. Candidates applying for a customer service position are asked to record a 1-minute video in addition to their traditional CV.

2. In the 1-minute video clip, candidates answer the question: “Why are you excited to work for HAPPYCAR?”

3. Videos are logged and analysed within the Retorio platform.

How Retorio made a difference

Retorio’s artificial intelligence derives a personality profile based on advanced psychological research, the Big 5 framework. The model classifies candidates according to 5 different personality dimensions, which are universally and interculturally accepted. Along with the personality profile, Retorio also provides a communication profile of the candidate. The combining profiles enable HAPPYCAR to receive an objective profile on all candidates, significantly accelerating the entire pre-selection process.
