Wizehire, a leading hiring platform tailored for small and growing businesses, has introduced Wizehire Scout, an AI-driven recruiting assistant designed to simplify and speed up the hiring process. By automating routine recruiting tasks, Scout enables business owners and hiring managers to focus on building meaningful connections with candidates, addressing a critical challenge for small businesses facing talent shortages.
“Wizehire Scout takes care of the busywork, so our customers can spend more time connecting with candidates,” said Sid Upadhyay, CEO of Wizehire. “Big companies have recruiters. Now small businesses have Scout.”
With 85% of small business owners reporting difficulty finding qualified applicants, according to the NFIB, Scout aims to fill this gap by cutting time-to-hire by up to 90%, reducing recruitment costs, and improving hiring decisions—all without increasing headcount. The platform provides transparent, trustworthy recommendations that help identify top candidates quickly and confidently.
