ISS World achieves 97% application completion rate and saves over 10,000 recruiter hours with Paradox conversational AI

The problem

ISS faced manual, disconnected hiring processes that burdened HR and IT teams while failing to serve a global candidate base with varied technology literacy, damaging the candidate experience and sense of belonging.

First attempt

ISS North America had 'clunky' legacy systems that created friction in the hiring process.
