London-based tech staffing company disrupts enterprise recruitment with conversational AI technology, achieving 90% reduction in time-to-hire while maintaining quality standards.
Supportwave, a next-generation tech staffing company, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking conversational AI interview platform, which transforms technical hiring for enterprise clients. The platform consolidates multiple recruitment stages into a single automated workflow, slashing hiring time from the industry standard of 48 days to just 48 hours for IT and software development roles.
The proprietary technology, developed and refined through extensive client deployments, delivers up to 90% reduction in time-to-hire without compromising candidate quality. Supportwave’s AI-powered system handles CV matching, application scoring, and conducts interactive, life-like interviews that assess both technical competencies and interpersonal skills, eliminating traditional bottlenecks including manual screening, protracted interview cycles, and unconscious bias.
The platform’s sophisticated matching algorithms generate ranked candidate shortlists within 48 hours, enabling technical teams to focus exclusively on the top five prospects while dramatically reducing administrative overhead. This streamlined approach addresses critical pain points in conventional hiring processes while delivering an enhanced candidate experience through a self-paced, real-time application journey that allows candidates to complete the entire process at their own convenience.
“I really enjoyed this whole process, especially the AI interview. It saves a lot of people’s time. Also, as a job seeker, I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed using your workflow,” shared a software engineer who completed the platform’s assessment process.
Operating across the UK, USA, and EU, Supportwave serves organizations requiring embedded teams, long-term hires, and project-based tech talent. The company has sustained 80% quarter-on-quarter revenue growth following two successful funding rounds and is currently preparing for Series A funding to accelerate global expansion. Supportwave’s innovative approach directly challenges established industry giants like Accenture in the IT and digital staffing sector, positioning the company as a disruptive force in technical recruitment.
The platform addresses surging demand for specialized IT and software talent, particularly in emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and data analytics. Beyond its technological innovation, Supportwave emphasizes comprehensive client support by pairing each client with dedicated account management teams who provide end-to-end assistance throughout the hiring process and ongoing engagement. The platform scales to accommodate diverse hiring requirements, from large-scale tech contracting initiatives to specialized niche roles, supporting both short-term project needs and long-term strategic staffing objectives.
