Propel People Introduces Innovative AI Assistants for Construction Hiring
As the construction industry grapples with a significant labor shortage, Propel People has launched an exciting new suite of AI-driven tools aimed at streamlining the hiring process for contractors. This initiative is designed to help employers in the skilled trades quickly navigate through recruiting tasks, from sourcing candidates to scheduling interviews.
Addressing Labor Shortages
The construction sector has been facing persistent challenges due to labor shortages, exacerbated by heightened demand from multiple projects in infrastructure, manufacturing, and commercial development. In response to these challenges, Propel People's new AI assistants are designed to inject efficiency into every stage of the hiring process.
With the first AI agent,
Propel Assistant (Beta), now live, recruiters can utilize advanced features that support essential tasks such as generating sourcing strategies, crafting and enhancing job descriptions, and outlining role responsibilities. By automating routine tasks, hiring teams can allocate their time to more critical components of recruitment, like engaging candidates and making informed hiring decisions.
Revolutionizing Recruitment Strategies
Propel People’s CEO, Dexter Bachelder, emphasizes that the construction industry needs more than just complex software solutions; it needs faster pathways to connecting with qualified labor. The new AI tools are crafted to enhance the existing recruitment workflows rather than complicate them, fostering a more efficient hiring environment without compromising quality.
Speed remains a pivotal factor in construction hiring. Propel People already assists employers in pinpointing qualified candidates through AI-assisted tools and a proprietary talent pool focused on skilled trades. The AI assistants take this a step further by accelerating role setups, refining job definitions, and streamlining candidate workflows.
The Propel Assistant (Beta) also builds on Propel People’s existing AI features, particularly
ProScore, a candidate scoring system that expedites the identification of top applicants and minimizes time spent on resume reviews. Additionally, Propel People plans to unveil a
Scheduler soon, enabling interview coordination via mobile text messaging and email — further simplifying the process for recruiters.
A Comprehensive AI-Powered Platform
These product updates mark a significant stride towards Propel People's vision of becoming an all-inclusive AI-powered recruiting platform tailored for construction and skilled trades. With more AI-driven enhancements on the horizon, Propel People aims to transform the way recruiting is done in this sector.
The Propel Assistant (Beta) is now available for customer use. Interested parties can learn more about this innovative platform by visiting
