Companies in the US spend $15bn annually on talent acquisition. The most important metric in recruitment advertising is the conversion from the paid click on the job platform to the application the employer receives. Industry-wide, apply conversion is just 5%. Redirection of the candidate from the job platform to the company site is the biggest cause of abandonment; this step has a 70% bounce rate. In this episode of NVIDIAs AI Podcast, host Noah Kravitz speaks with Mikhil Raja, Cofounder and CEO of SonicJobs, about how they have built AI Agents to enable candidates to complete applications directly on job platforms, without redirection, boosting completion rates to 26% from 5%.
