Problem

Manual screening slowed trainee recruitment and produced inconsistent shortlists. Young applicants' CVs gave limited evidence of leadership potential.

Approach

Pulsifi compared earlier trainees' assessments with internal performance data. It built a tailored algorithm that scored applicants and predicted work outcomes. Nestlé used the scores to shortlist candidates, then fed subsequent performance results into model updates.

Results

300applicant-processing hours saved, according to PulsifiVendor case study[1]
28 out of 29hired trainees performing as predicted after 1 year, according to PulsifiVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

The performance check covered 29 hires. It did not establish prediction accuracy across the full applicant pool.
