Trelevate has been a leader in outsourced sales and marketing since 1996, serving clients across the US.


Expanding into Pittsburgh presented a new challenge for Trelevate: managing an overwhelming volume of applicants. To scale their screening process, Trelevate partnered with Screenify to introduce AI interviews. Under the guidance of Jackie Bourgeix, Director of Business Development, Trelevate quickly realized a 975% ROI and slashed costs by 91%, thanks to the time saved in scheduling and conducting initial screenings, as well as the increase in higher-quality candidates moving through their recruiting funnel.


Challenge: Screenings were booked out for weeks

Recently, Trelevate expanded into the Pittsburgh market, and their recruiters were overbooked. On top of this, recruiters and hiring managers were spending time with unqualified and uninterested applicants. Previous, attempts with 1-way video interviews failed to engage candidates and provide a personalized, human-like experience. Trelevate was searching for a solution to screen and surface the top applicants while still providing an exceptional candidate experience.

"We receive about 98 applicants per day for each client. They expect us to hire rapidly, but we were spending too much time with applicants that weren’t interested or qualified for the job.”

Solution: Trelevate turned to Screenify to scale their team

Trelevate partnered with Screenify to integrate AI interviews to scale their team, meet demand in new markets, and surface top applicants. The human-like, conversational AI interviews assess on 4 critical aspects and automates next steps for the top applicants.

Customized questions and assessment criteria

Trelevate customized the questions and assessment criteria to score applicants on the critical qualities they look for including sales experience, motivation, and culture fit.

Intro videos personalize and inform

Applicants watch a quick intro video recorded by Trelevate to familiarize them with the role and company culture ensuring applicants understand the job and requirements.

Automatic shortlisting

Screenify automatically identifies the top applicants and sends an email to them to inform them of the next steps in Trelevate’s process.

“Screenify has transformed our hiring process. I love the star rating from 1 to 5. It makes it easy to identify and advance the top applicants automatically.”

Today, Trelevate is making 6 to 8 job offers per week and quickly filling roles in Pittsburgh. Applicants have also loved the human-like conversational experience often telling Jackie "they're the most fun interview they've ever taken".
