Oh, what a year this has been! Here at Sense, we constantly research and develop, and test innovations that deliver a better customer experience while simultaneously delivering better results from your talent engagement strategy. At the forefront of our commitment to innovation was our acquisition of Skillate (a top AI recruiting platform) earlier this year.
Of course, along with innovation comes results. As we continued to develop and launch new enhancements and additions to the Sense talent engagement platform, we simultaneously topped the charts in G2’s Summer’22 and Fall’22 reports. Data named us a leader in several categories, including Recruiting Automation, Enterprise Staffing, Candidate Relationship Management, and Interview Scheduling.

TRM fits seamlessly into the Sense platform, allowing for omnichannel campaigns and engagement strategies.

24/7 conversations via chatbot have an incredible impact, but what if your recruitment technology automatically used data collected in those conversations to update your candidate profiles?
