The challenge
Per Scholas empowers individuals with skills training and also supports employers seeking talent for high-demand technology roles. Their Talent Solutions team faced a time-consuming challenge of manually reviewing thousands of alumni resumes to match candidates with employer job openings. In a hiring landscape where time is of the essence, the team needed a quicker way to identify the best Per Scholas alumni for job opportunities with employer partners.
The solution
Per Scholas partnered with AdeptID to create a Salesforce integration that leveraged AI to automatically evaluate the fit between graduates and employer opportunities. The system analyzes each learner’s unique profile and provides Talent Solutions staff with a ranked list of matching candidates, complete with insights about relevant skills and potential growth areas.
The result
The implementation dramatically reduced matching time from nearly a week to less than two days, with nearly 90% of staff reporting trust in the AI’s ability to identify strong matches. The system unlocked new levels of efficiency, enabling the Talent Solutions team to further contribute to Per Scholas alumni job attainment while also meeting the tech talent needs of employer partners.
