THE CHALLENGE
Scaling High-Volume Hiring with a Lean Recruiting Team
Sezzle manages high-volume recruitment for its customer service team with a relatively small recruiting function. As application volume increased, the team needed a faster way to identify qualified candidates without overwhelming recruiters or lowering hiring standards.
The goal was to filter candidates earlier in the process, focus recruiter time on the strongest applicants, and maintain confidence that assessment scores reflected the qualities Sezzle needed in customer-facing roles.
“We do high volume recruitment for our customer service team, but we are a small recruiting team. Hallo helps us filter candidates and get the ones who are really worth bringing in for an interview.”
— Laura Fonseca, Sezzle
THE SOLUTION
Integrated Candidate Screening Built Around Sezzle’s Hiring Flow
Sezzle adopted Hallo to bring structured language assessments into its recruiting workflow. Pricing, Greenhouse integration, customization, and responsive support were all key factors in the decision.By integrating with Sezzle’s existing hiring stack, Hallo helped the team add assessment-based filtering without creating extra process complexity.
“Pricing, integration with Greenhouse, how easily it can be tailored to our needs, and [the team’s] amazing support in every need we have.”
Over time, Sezzle established internal minimum scores and found that Hallo’s results aligned closely with what the team looked for in qualified candidates.
“We’ve established internal minimum scores and with time have really seen the scores are accurate to what we look for.”
THE RESULTS
Better Filtering, Lower Costs, and Multilingual Flexibility
With Hallo, Sezzle’s recruiting team can manage high application volume more efficiently while focusing interviews on candidates who are more likely to meet internal standards.
The team estimates approximately 5% budget savings, driven by improved candidate filtering and reduced manual screening effort. Hallo also gave Sezzle flexibility as hiring needs evolved, allowing the team to expand from English into French assessments without adding another vendor.
“We started out with only English but recently had a need for French and were delighted to know we didn’t need to look elsewhere.”
Support has also remained a consistent part of the experience.
“I’ve had a great experience with how supportive the team is and the sense of urgency you have.”
For Sezzle, Hallo enables a lean recruiting team to operate at scale: improving candidate filtering, supporting multilingual hiring needs, integrating into Greenhouse, and helping recruiters focus their time on the candidates most worth bringing into the interview process.
