Wizehire Launches AI Recruiting Assistant to Help Small Businesses Hire Faster and Smarter

HOUSTON, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wizehire, the award-winning hiring platform for small and growing businesses, has officially launched Wizehire Scout, a new AI-powered recruiting assistant that helps business owners and hiring managers streamline their hiring process and connect with top talent faster.

Designed to tackle the number one reason small businesses lose great candidates—a slow, overwhelming hiring process—Scout handles the repetitive tasks of recruiting so leaders can focus on what truly matters: building human connections. According to the NFIB, 85% of small business owners hiring or trying to hire reported few or no qualified applicants, underscoring the need for smarter, more efficient hiring solutions.

"Wizehire Scout takes care of the busywork, so our customers can spend more time connecting with candidates " said Sid Upadhyay, CEO of Wizehire. "Big companies have recruiters. Now small businesses have Scout."

Early results show Scout is helping Wizehire customers cut time-to-hire by up to 90% , reduce hiring costs, and improve decision-making without adding headcount. Scout delivers explainable, easy-to-trust recommendations that help hiring managers quickly identify top candidates and hire with confidence.

"Scout is the hiring support we didn't even know we needed," said Amer Salman, Founder and President of Structure Hospitality. "Our team has a lot of competing priorities, and Scout helped us to focus on actions that actually moved the needle. We're spending less time on busywork and can dedicate more of our limited time to connecting with candidates and filling roles faster."

Key benefits of Wizehire Scout include:

• Prioritized actions that surface high-impact tasks in real time
• Smart recommendations to rediscover strong candidates from previous roles
• One-click focus on top jobs and applicants to speed up decisions
• Actionable insights that build a stronger talent pipeline

This is just the beginning. Scout will soon offer deeper candidate insights, interview scheduling, and candidate nurturing—pairing powerful AI with the expert support of Wizehire Coaches to level the hiring playing field for small businesses everywhere.

Scout is available to current and future customers at no additional cost, with every Wizehire plan.
