Before Classet, Endries' HR team faced a familiar distribution industry challenge: plenty of applicants, but a disproportionate amount of time spent screening, scheduling, and documenting. For frontline warehouse and operations roles, candidates were applying to 10+ employers simultaneously, and only talking to the first two that responded.

“Our biggest challenge wasn't the lack of applicants—it was the time and effort required to identify the right candidates, do it quickly and consistently. Our recruitment team spent a disproportionate amount of time on administrative, logistic work.”

With Classet, Endries eliminated the back-and-forth between HR and hiring managers. Everyone sees the same candidate information instantly. Managers no longer wait for HR to prioritize their requisition; they get qualified candidates at their pace.

“Every manager thinks their role is the most important—which it is. But we are one and they are many. Now those managers are getting the attention to their role right away. They're not having to wait for it to fall in line with the grand scheme of everything else we've got going on.”

A common concern with AI in hiring is compliance risk. Endries found the opposite: their process is now cleaner and more defensible because nothing gets missed or forgotten. Classet doesn't make hiring decision for you. Rather it streamlines the top of the funnel process and puts qualified and engaged candidates in your pipeline.

“It's almost gone in the opposite direction. Our initial process is a lot cleaner and probably even more compliant than it ever was before. There's no room for missing anything or forgetting to write anything down.”

Most HR technology implementations are memorable for the wrong reasons: months of setup, workflow disruptions, manager training headaches. Endries experienced the opposite: Classet connected to their existing ATS in weeks, required no process changes, and needed only minor tweaks to go live.

“I don't even remember the implementation process because it was that easy. It took a matter of a couple weeks. Once you implement it and connect it to your ATS, the workflows are ready. You didn't really have to reinvent any processes. I can't say I've ever experienced that in another technology I've implemented; it was not memorable because it was that easy.”

The Endries HR team had the same concerns many teams have: Would this replace them? Would it create new risks? The Classet team addressed those fears head-on, and skepticism turned to enthusiasm quickly.

“The team at Classet calmed those fears right away. And the team got really excited, really fast. AI can be really scary if it's not positioned well—and Classet was able to do that well.”
