Southwest Airlines saves up to 92,000 hours with Phenom chatbots

Southwest Airlines faced the challenge of delivering a personalized and efficient candidate experience at scale. Their talent acquisition team needed a way to capture leads, provide 24/7 support, and offer relevant job recommendations without overburdening recruiters. To meet this need, they partnered with the vendor Phenom to implement an AI-powered recruiting chatbot on their career site.

Phenom's solution involved a carefully trained chatbot that captured candidate information, provided personalized job matches, and answered FAQs. This implementation yielded significant results for Southwest Airlines, including over 1 million interactions. The chatbot saved recruiters an estimated 18,000 to 92,000 hours, and 28% of visitors who interacted with it clicked on a suggested job, with 57% of those going on to apply. Phenom's chatbot directly impacted hiring and proved to be a major value-add.
