Chatbot guides candidates through the application process, giving employers faster access to top talent

TROY, Mich., July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kelly today launched its new RPO solution, Kelly Ace, a recruiting and application chatbot that provides employers with a powerful user interface to connect with top talent faster. The tool guides qualified candidates through the process for high-volume roles, offering a smoother, faster, and more interactive experience.
