Additionally, the tool leads to a 27% increase in employee retention, a 30% rise in high-performing hires, a 20% reduction in recruiting costs, and a 15% increase in qualified diverse hires. By focusing on soft skills, Pyxai aims to empower hiring decisions that align with an organization’s culture, thereby increasing productivity and employee retention.
