Smarter Hiring Starts Here: Employ’s New AI Release Prioritizes Recruiter Efficiency and Human Connection

Employ’s latest release delivers AI interview summaries, ROI insights, and automated onboarding that help hiring teams move faster, smarter, and with less manual work

Denver (July 29, 2025)— Employ unveiled a powerful wave of product innovations designed to transform how organizations attract, engage, and hire top talent across two of its industry-leading applicant tracking systems—Lever, and Jobvite. Infused with cutting-edge, people-first AI, the newest innovations empower recruiters and hiring teams to move faster, hire smarter, and deliver better candidate experiences— with trust and transparency at the core built with IBM watsonx.governance.

With this release, Employ brings a fresh wave of AI-driven innovation to the full talent lifecycle—from interviews and analytics to onboarding and compliance. The result: Hiring teams reduce manual work, unlock strategic insight, and build a hiring engine that scales with their business.

According to a recent IDC Business Value Research Report*, organizations using Employ’s solutions experienced a 3x return on investment, a 37% improvement in recruiter efficiency, and 22% faster time-to-offer—proving that intelligent hiring technology not only streamlines operations but also delivers real, measurable business value.

Highlights include:

  • AI Interview Transcripts & Summaries: Free up interviewers to focus on connection, not note-taking. When enabled, AI-generated summaries and transcripts capture every key moment—directly in your Lever ATS—improving the candidate experience and eliminating the follow up scramble.
  • AI-Powered Insights in ROI Dashboard: With access to insights from over 23,000 Employ customers, Lever talent leaders can benchmark performance against peers, uncover friction points in the hiring journey, and tap into AI-driven recommendations to accelerate hiring success.
  • Automated Onboarding: For Jobvite users, onboarding gets a powerful upgrade—pairing AI-driven compliance checks with curated, personalized experiences that make every first day count.
  • Governed AI Compliance: Built with IBM watsonx.governance—designed to provide transparency, fairness, and audit-readiness every step of the way.

“Our latest release reflects our belief that AI should do more than automate—it should elevate,” said Dara Brenner, Chief Product Officer at Employ. “We’re not just adding features for the sake of adding; we’re transforming how talent team’s work. With this release, Employ continues to disrupt the status quo of talent acquisition. By embedding purpose-built AI into everyday workflows and tackling some of the largest hiring hurdles like onboarding—and doing it the right way—Employ is setting a new standard for what hiring tech should be: intelligent, responsible, and relentlessly focused on results.”
