AI-powered employment ‘superapp’ to save SMEs time and money on recruitment

HR, payroll, and employee engagement platform Employment Hero is on a mission to reinvent the entire employment relationship with its new, world-first employment superapp, Swag.

With AI-powered recruitment functionality designed to streamline the job search for small-and-medium-sized businesses (SMEs) and jobseekers, and buoyed by a network of 200,000+ employers and 1 million+ employees, Swag makes finding, onboarding, and rewarding talent easier.

Employment Hero’s core mission is to make employment more streamlined and valuable for UK SMEs. To date, the company has done this by digitising employment for SMEs by creating a platform that gives employers confidence in the accuracy, compliance, and transparency of their HR and payroll processes.

The next stage in the company’s development is tackling the employee side of the equation: making the traditionally tedious task of job hunting better. Swag introduces two core features: Work and Career to seamlessly integrate the recruitment journey into a comprehensive employee experience.

Swag also features a job board called Swag Jobs which gives SMEs free access to a pool of hundreds of thousands of work-ready applicants - with no job posting or advertising costs. In a time where job board advertising fees have increased, Swag gives SMEs the tools to get their jobs in front of the best candidates whatever their budget.

It matches job seekers with great roles, taking the heavy lifting out of the job seeking process, including:

Using the power of AI to produce first-draft cover letters
AI-powered job suggestions based on a candidate’s profile and skills One-click ‘apply’ functionality to apply for a job in seconds Automatic CV and resume parsing to avoid manual data entry.

Ben Thompson, co-founder and CEO of Employment Hero, said: “We are rapidly adding new features that will match candidates with a job before it’s even posted, and faster than the job boards can. In the next 12 months, we plan to replace even more manual tasks with AI, further streamlining the process and freeing up people’s time to focus on what they do best.

“Through AI and applications like Swag, the entire recruitment process can be streamlined and personalised. We developed Swag to help employers stand out in a competitive hiring market and to help jobseekers cut down on manual tasks such as sifting through open roles and writing up time-consuming cover letters.

“While AI serves as an assistant in the hiring process for both employers and employees, it by no means replaces the human elements of recruiting. With more time back in the day, SMEs can focus on growing their business and finding the best people in the market to do so.”
