Case Study: Etisalat accelerates hiring and identifies top AI talent with Agorize

Etisalat - Customer Case Study

Etisalat, a leading telecommunications group in the UAE, sought innovative recruitment tools to hire 100 Emirati graduates for an AI-focused program. The challenge was to efficiently source and identify top local talent with strong technical and problem-solving skills for roles in technology and business functions. To meet this objective, Etisalat partnered with the vendor Agorize to utilize its platform for a gamified recruitment experience.

Agorize implemented two interactive events: a Hackathon named "Hack AI" and a Thinkathon named "Think AI." These challenges allowed candidates to solve real business cases, enabling Etisalat to assess their abilities effectively. The solution delivered significant results, with Agorize helping Etisalat select 115 candidates and convert 78 of them into new hires within 18 days, drastically shortening the average time-to-hire.
