Ace Hardware achieves 86% conversion rate using Paradox conversational AI for warehouse recruiting
The problem
Ace Hardware needed to rapidly hire warehouse workers in a highly competitive pandemic market, but their hiring process lacked efficient technology, causing candidates to stall in a days-long process or be hired by competitors. Scheduling hundreds of candidates also created an administrative bottleneck for the corporate recruiting team.
