Interview with Jane: Fixing Recruitment Debt with CloudApper AI

Q: Jane, what made you realize recruitment debt was becoming a problem?

Jane: We had too many roles being filled quickly just to keep up. Then we’d end up backfilling the same positions a few months later. It was exhausting. Turnover was high, and we couldn’t figure out what was going wrong until we looked at the process closely.

Q: What was the biggest challenge you faced?

Jane: We were rushing hires. Our recruiters were juggling screening, interviews, and admin. We didn’t have time to slow down or evaluate properly. That’s when we started hearing the term “recruitment debt”—and it made total sense.

Q: How did you find CloudApper AI Recruiter?

Jane: A peer in my network recommended it. I liked that it didn’t just promise automation—it actually gave us tools to clean up the process. CloudApper’s AI Recruiting Tool helped us screen, rank, and even schedule interviews without adding more pressure to the team.

Q: What difference did you see in candidate quality?

Jane: A huge one. CloudApper’s AI Recruiting Solution applied the same screening to everyone. We weren’t relying on gut feelings anymore. We saw more consistency, fewer dropouts, and better fit from day one.

Q: Did you use it to build a talent pipeline too?

Jane: Absolutely. One of our biggest problems was starting from scratch with every opening. CloudApper AI for Talent Acquisition helped us build a pool we could tap into immediately. That really helped us cut time-to-fill.

Q: What about the admin burden on your team?

Jane: It was overwhelming before. With CloudApper’s AI Recruiting Tool handling interview reminders, candidate engagement, and follow-ups, our team finally had time to focus on relationship-building.

Q: Were you tracking recruitment metrics before this?

Jane: Not really. It was mostly spreadsheets and guesswork. Now we get real-time dashboards with time-to-fill, conversion rates, and more. We actually know where to improve now.

Q: What surprised you the most about using AI in hiring?

Jane: How human it still felt. CloudApper AI Recruiter didn’t replace the personal side of recruiting—it just gave us more time to actually connect with candidates.

Q: Would you recommend it to other enterprise teams?

Jane: Definitely. If you’re drowning in rushed hiring and struggling with consistency, this tool gives you the clarity and control to do things better. It helped us recover from recruitment debt without burning out our team.
