The AI Edge: How Nerva Transforms Hiring from Hassle to Human

The Talent Crunch is Real—And It’s Draining HR Teams

Recruiters today are stuck in a cycle of chaos: unresponsive applicants, no-show interviews, endless scheduling emails, and the pressure to fill roles fast. Instead of focusing on people, hiring teams are buried under tasks that technology should be handling. This disconnect doesn’t just delay hiring—it leads to burnout and high turnover within HR itself.

Why Traditional Recruiting is Failing Fast

Hiring methods haven’t kept up with the pace of modern work. According to industry data:

  • Over 50% of candidates ghost at some stage in the hiring process.
  • 65% of applications happen after hours, but most teams aren't available to respond.
  • It takes hours of manual screening and scheduling to make just one good hire.

And perhaps most tellingly, 54% of candidates won't apply if the process feels outdated. The result? A talent pipeline that feels more like a trickle.

Meet Nerva: The AI Recruiter That Never Sleeps

Nerva, the AI engine behind HRMLESS, changes the game. Built to automate the most tedious parts of hiring, Nerva:

  • Conducts 24/7 pre-screen interviews via conversational AI
  • Scores and ranks candidates in real-time
  • Sends automatic invites to qualified candidates to self-schedule live interviews
  • Engages via both email and SMS for maximum responsiveness

Instead of chasing candidates, Nerva keeps them engaged and moving forward—even while your team sleeps.
