The Hidden Time Drain in Hiring
Recruiters and HR teams spend a significant amount of time manually gathering basic candidate information. Before even deciding whether to proceed with an interview, they need to:
- ✅ Confirm visa status and sponsorship needs
- ✅ Discuss salary expectations
- ✅ Determine availability and potential start date
- ✅ Coordinate interview scheduling
While these may seem like simple tasks, they add up. On average, recruiters spend 15–30 minutes per candidate just on these preliminary conversations. If a job opening receives 100+ applications, that’s 25–50 hours of manual work per role—before even starting interviews.
Now, imagine scaling that across multiple job openings. The inefficiency becomes a major bottleneck in the hiring process, delaying decisions and costing companies valuable time and money.
How IVY’s Candidate Basic Evaluation Saves Time
IVY automates this entire process, gathering key candidate details and streamlining interview scheduling without recruiter intervention.
🔹 What IVY Does Automatically:
- 1️⃣ Contacts candidates directly after application or ATS integration

- 4️⃣ Pre-screens unqualified candidates before they reach recruiters
- 5️⃣ Delivers structured data so hiring managers can make informed decisions faster
🔹 How Much Time Does This Save?
Let’s break it down with an example:
| Task | Manual Time Per Candidate | Time for 100 Candidates | IVY’s Automated Time | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Candidate outreach | 5 min | 8+ hours | Automated | 8+ hours |
| Basic screening (visa, salary, start date) | 10-15 min | 16-25 hours | Automated | 16-25 hours |
| Scheduling interviews | 5-10 min | 8-12 hours | Automated | 8-12 hours |
| Total Time Spent | 25–50 hours | Per Job | Less than 1 hour | 24–49 hours saved |
🚀 By automating this process with IVY, recruiters can reclaim up to 50 hours per job opening!
