The challenge
The Head of Human Resources at Montenegro’s largest employer, Voli, faced a challenge of mass recruitment for new positions. With 150 applications flooding in, the process became an operational bottleneck threatening to slow down expansion.

The solution
Voli used Recrewty to standardise early-stage selection in two steps, applying rigorous objective standards to every candidate automatically while keeping the human in the loop for final decisions.
