This allowed the recruiters to quickly obtain rich candidate information right in their browser, without having to manually enter a candidate's information into their ATS once they received a response. The team also leveraged Entelo's outreach tools to boost email response rates and used the More Likely to MoveTM feature to increase the likelihood of candidate interest. To further enhance their talent pool diversity, Opower used Entelo to cast a wider net and add diverse candidates to the top of the funnel. Read More Log in to view content
