Resumes Are Poor Indicator of Sales Potential, Passion and Personality
Dedicated to building a team of future all-star sales leaders for the Food industry, Earthly Joy Global created its Sales Team for budding sales reps who are hungry to build an incredible career with a legacy team. “Because these hires are generally entry-level, we look for hungry, go-getters who have sales potential and great personalities, communications skills, and attitude.
Resumes had zero insight into these qualities, which made it hard to determine the best of the best,” says Sapna Rathi, Head of Sales (Recruitment), Earthly Joy Global. To solve this problem and to better understand the sales attributes that were important to building a great team for the Sales Team, Earthly Joy turned to Metahire’s Recruitment Solution.
“AI can accelerate the recruitment process by automating repetitive tasks such as resume screening, scheduling interviews, and providing candidate recommendations. This will allow us to focus on selecting more strategic and high-value sales personnel for our Sales Team.”
