Real hiring teams, measurable results

How teams evaluate candidates more accurately, and hire faster.

Evaluation accuracy

13 of 15: AI that matches expert judgment, and catches what it misses

A hiring manager had already screened 300 resumes by hand and shortlisted 15 candidates for phone interviews. To pressure-test the shortlist, they ran the same pool through Octopyd’s AI Talent Tournament with Ivy.

  • 13 of the manager’s 15 hand-picked candidates landed in Octopyd’s top 30, an 87% overlap with experienced human judgment.
  • Ivy surfaced 3 additional strong candidates that the manual review had overlooked, each ranked high on the Octopyd list.
  • The full 300-resume evaluation ran in a fraction of the time a manual pass takes, with an explainable score behind every ranking.

Ivy’s explainable evaluation closely mirrors an expert recruiter’s instincts, then widens the net so no strong candidate slips through the cracks.

Speed to interview

27 roles, 9,000 applicants, interviews booked in 30 minutes

During a single month (May), Company A had 27 open roles and received roughly 9,000 applications. Hiring managers selected about 400 candidates to move forward to interviews, with Arvo coordinating the scheduling end to end.

average time to the interview
  • About 400 candidates were picked for interviews across the 27 roles.
  • Roughly 25% of them (95 candidates) booked their interview within 30 minutes of being selected.
  • Scheduled interviews were only about 1.5 days out on average, compressing the gap between interest and conversation.

With Arvo automating scheduling, candidates go from picked to booked in minutes and meet the team in about a day and a half, cutting time-to-interview and the drop-off that comes with delay.
