Case Study: Southern Cross achieves 95% faster candidate qualification and 99% positive candidate experience with AllyO

Simplifying Hiring to Find Quality Candidates Faster

Southern Cross, a long-standing provider of pipeline safety and field services, struggled with a long, complicated hiring process that was losing qualified candidates and consuming recruiter time. To simplify and speed hiring while integrating with their ATS, Southern Cross partnered with AllyO, deploying AllyO’s conversational AI and automated workflows including Capture and Apply, Screen and Assess, Schedule Interview and ATS integration with Lever.

AllyO built a pilot that captured, screened and scheduled candidates without recruiter intervention, integrated every hiring step with Lever, and focused on the hardest-to-fill technician roles. As a result, Southern Cross reduced time to qualify candidates from 1.5 days to 36 minutes (about a 95% decrease), cut the time between applying and interviewing by 40%, and achieved a 99% positive candidate experience while freeing recruiters to focus on strategy and high-value candidates.
