Benefits: Accelerate the interview process using Verint Intelligent Interviewing

Using Verint Intelligent Interviewing in the cloud streamlined time-to-value for Work Entropy, with the company up and running on the solution in only 30 days. Moreover, the company conducted over 7,000 candidate assessments across 50 countries worldwide in less than a year.

Leveraging machine learning, proprietary audio models, and predictive analysis, the Verint solution has enabled Work Entropy to source independent workers from application to onboarding within 24 hours or less. Because its candidates don’t always have internet access, the company relies on the solution’s phone screen capability as a key means of accessibility. Meanwhile, chat and language IQ assessments provide an objective means to assess language fluency.

In addition, Work Entropy’s progressive service platform powered by Verint Intelligent Interviewing delivers:

  • Acquisition Optimization – Quickly and automatically qualifies candidate profiles.
  • Candidate Profile Creation – Captures candidates’ working requirements and guides them through a seamless process to qualify for a variety of work, all managed in real time for a seamless and enjoyable candidate experience.
  • Work Entropy Academy Portal Access – Once identified, disqualified individuals are given the resources to train, skill up, and qualify for work.

Verint Intelligent Interviewing assists in establishing sustainable partnerships

Additionally, Work Entropy is using the Verint solution to identify “Community Managers.” These individuals are native speakers, advocate for their local community, and are passionate and intentional about solving problems. They provide feet and intelligence on the ground to help Work Entropy understand the challenges in various regions and identify resources needed to address the root causes of unemployment and homelessness. For example, a community manager in Veracruz, Mexico, has worked with Work Entropy to build a primary school in Veracruz. Similarly, a community manager in Kenya has helped put in place an apprenticeship program and a student placement program with Kenyatta University.

“By leveraging the proven Verint Intelligent Interviewing solution, we’re able to establish productive pairings and sustainable partnerships between gig workers and employers while reducing the costs of acquisition, training, and onboarding,” says Andrew Kennedy, Founder and CEO, Head of Culture, at Work Entropy. “Without the burden of these costs, companies can pay higher wages while maximizing time spent on the process from both sides of the hiring equation.”
