Sahil Sahni is the co-founder of AllyO, an end-to-end AI recruiter. He holds a PhD from MIT, but has now turned his focus to the entrepreneurial world, thanks to a passion for B2B2C industries. Currently, he's focused on growing his company, AllyO, which is disrupting the recruiting industry with AI-enabled automation. “Seek and provide help. Entrepreneurship feels very lonely, extremely lonely, almost such that it's a risk to your decision-making. When in reality we are not alone, there are so many like us who have either gone through challenges or are going through similar challenges. I think if you seek advice from mentors, from investors, operators, from other entrepreneurs, from experts like yourself, and are willing to give to it it just makes it much more efficient and much more comforting”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-6Go

In this episode of AI In Industry, we interview Nick Possley, the CTO of a company called AllyO, based in the San Francisco Bay area. We speak with Nick about where artificial intelligence and machine learning are playing a role in recruiting today and how picking the right candidates from a pool is in some way being informed by artificial intelligence. Whether a business leader is hiring dozens and dozens of people or whether they 're just interested in understanding how AI can engage with individuals on more of a one-to-one basis, this should be a fruitful episode. In addition, the fundamentals of what we discuss in this episode, in terms of taking in data from profiles and responding and engaging with applicants, could be applied to all sorts of cases, such as customer service and marketing.

AllyO is an AI technology company based in Silicon Valley. It was founded in 2016 with a simple mission - make recruiting delightful and efficient for everyone. It is backed by leading investors such as Google, Randstad Innovation Fund, Bain Capital Ventures and Cervin Ventures. AllyO addresses the traditional inefficiencies of lost applicants and conversions due to poor candidate experience, high cost of recruiting due to overburdening of menial tasks on hiring teams, and lack of visibility and control for HR leadership. It is re-inventing recruiting by bringing the recruiting process to the applicant rather than taking the applicants to the recruiting process. AllyO utilizes deep workflow conversational AI to fully automate the end to end recruiting workflow by intelligently engaging through texting over mobile and web. It enables conversational job matching across all talent acquisition channels, intelligently qualifies the candidate specifically for the best-fit role, automates interview scheduling and post-interview interactions, drives retention through post-hire check-ins, and gathers actionable insights to improve overall recruiting performance. It is used by several large enterprises and has processed millions of applicant interactions to schedule over hundred thousand interviews. As a result, these enterprises have experienced 2-6X increase in applicant capture and conversion rate, 91% application completion rate, and over 50% reduction in cost and time to hire. On today's tech podcast I chat to Sahil Sahni, co-founder of AllyO to discuss HR trends at large and machine learning topics. We also discuss their inspirational startup story.

The mobile platform also allows workers to manage all these gigs in one place AllyO AllyO, the end-to-end AI recruiter, this week announces the latest advancement to its recruiting solution: AllyO New Hire Check-ins. While AllyO has traditionally assisted organizations and candidates through their entire hiring funnel from “Hi to Hire,” the addition of New Hire Check-ins allows AllyO to be the single point-of-contact for everyone involved across hiring and retention – including recruiters, talent acquisition leaders, hiring managers, candidates, and current employees. This latest generation of AllyO’s platform enables HR professionals to check-in with new hires several times within their first 90 days on the job by asking customized questions like: “How happy are you in your new role?” and “Do you feel you are well-trained for the job?” The responses provide hiring teams with actionable feedback to improve retention. This new functionality also increases efficiency among HR teams by eliminating the need to manually check-in with candidates on their opinions about the hiring, onboarding and training processes.

Sahil Sahni is doing the impossible. After leaving McKinsey & Company and Techstars, he’s co-founded a fast-growing AI company. And against the odds, he’s recruiting top-talent in Silicon Valley…ground zero of the war for talent. AllyO is an AI technology company that is transforming recruiting through intelligent automation. It’s an AI recruiter that utilizes natural language processing & machine learning to automate the end-to-end recruiting workflow.  This removes the traditional inefficiencies of lost applicants & conversions due to poor candidate experience, and the high cost of recruiting due to administrative tasks.  AllyO has already processed millions of job applicants for Fortune 1000 companies, such as Walmart, Hilton, AT&T, and Arby’s. Sahil and his team have raised $14million in venture funding from Google, Bain Capital Ventures, Cervin Ventures, Gradient Ventures & Randstad Innovation Fund.  Even if you’re not based in Silicon Valley, you’ll get a ton of recruiting wisdom from this 20-minute conversation.

Join HRWins Founder and Principal Analyst George LaRocque as he continues to cut through the Artificial Intelligence hype and find the out how this technology is being uses, what the impact is today, and what the future looks like for the recruiting profession and the recruiter. In a previous podcast, Jason Robers from Randstad Sourceright talked about his experience with a recruiting technology called AllyO. It was extending deeper into the process than most use cases we've heard about. George interviews Sahil Sahni Co-Founder of AllyO about the success they're having, the impact their tech is having for both candidates and recruiters, and how they see the future for recruiters.  

Sahil Sanhi, co-founder of AllyO, a Silicon Valley based AI technology company, delivers an interesting overview of the many problems that exist in the human resources arena, and how his company's tech is beating them, one by one. Sanhi and his company partner saw a major problem in business recruiting and launched AllyO in 2016 as a means to solve it for companies worldwide. The problem—recruiting is inefficient, applicants are lost in the process, conversions are poor, and the cost is high due to menial tasks placed upon the hiring teams. Essentially, there is a complete lack of visibility and the process offers little control for human resources leaders.  Sanhi and partner realized they could build a better engine, and did. AllyO reinvented the system by bringing the recruiting process directly to the qualified applicants instead of the traditional route of bringing the applicants to the recruiting process. And AllyO's system loops into human beings only when needed, thus allowing the mundane work to be circumvented, keeping human employees on more important job tasks. Sanhi explains how his company uses deep workflow conversational AI to streamline and automate end-to-end recruiting. AllyO successfully enables a managed workflow, by using smart technology to engage via texting over web and mobile avenues.  Sanhi states that their system not only greatly relieves the stress and drain on human resources departments, but also significantly improves the quality of incoming new hires. As Sanhi explains, the highest quality candidates are discouraged from applying due to the extensive, laborious process of first finding an appropriate position, and then being forced to fill out an online application for 45 minutes to an hour per opening. For a company that is seeking the best employees, this is highly problematic as sometimes it is only the most desperate candidates who will go through this difficult process, a process that only offers a 15% chance or less that your submission will be seen or acted on. AllyO utilizes conversational career matching across multiple talent acquisition channels, qualifies the candidates for the role that perfectly fits their skill and experience, then fully automates the scheduling of interviews and even post interview communications. Responsiveness, better communication, and a more human type interaction back and forth, all built into the AI drives engagement to higher levels. As the AI probes deeper into a candidate's qualifications it makes granular decisions along the way, which allows for candidate ease and better options for the hiring manager.  The tech expert explains how AllyO uses each engaging interaction with a potential candidate as an opportunity to learn, thus enabling the system to answer candidates' questions in an increasingly sophisticated manner. Additionally, their AI ensures that proper conduct is always a priority by discarding biases. And as AllyO is a multilingual, highly configurable technology it can integrate easily into any HR system. Ironically, it is AI that is putting the human touch back into hiring.

AllyO touts itself as an end-to-end solution for recruitment. But if you think it's just another chatbot waiting to board the commoditization train, well, you might be right. Or wrong. You'll have to listen to see if this start-up cuts the mustard and survives the Firing Squad. This podcast is an exclusive from Talroo. Our sponsors rock, by the way.

Sahil Sahni, co-founder of AllyO, shares the history of job boards and what we can expect from the next frontier, including artificial intelligence.

Ankit Somani is the co-founder of AllyO, creator of AI recruiter Ally. Prior to founding AllyO, Ankit worked as a Product Manager at Google on the growth team of Google For Work, as well as a senior engineer on the data center research and development team. He also worked at Oracle as a data center architect and program manager. He graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in 2007 with a degree in mechanical engineering, and received his Master's in Thermal-Fluid Sciences and Economic Decision Analysis from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
