500 Applications, Zero Recruiter Burnout: AI Seasonal Hiring

Every Q4, retail, logistics, and hospitality teams face the same brutal math: hundreds of applications, a handful of recruiters, and a deadline that doesn't move. In this episode, we walk through how a mid-size logistics company used AI to flip that equation — screening 400 CVs and completing 80 audio chats in just 48 hours, filling 30 roles by Day 8. We break down exactly how OVI's two AI agents — Sora for sourcing and Milo for audio-only screening — work together to handle the surge without burning out your recruiting team. And we get into the numbers: $238 all-in with OVI versus $12,000 to $20,000 through an agency. That's not a rounding error. That's a completely different business model for peak-season hiring. If your team faces predictable hiring surges — holiday retail, summer hospitality, January open-enrollment, harvest cycles — this episode will change how you think about what's possible without adding headcount. The technology is here. The question is whether you're going to use it. Stay on top of AI and HR — hit follow so you don't miss an episode of AI HR Daily.
