Attrition Forecaster: 92% match, counter-offer / flight-risk signal
The AI reads the signals, not just the CV. The third candidate scores highest, and is forecast to take a counter-offer before your offer lands.
What it delivers
Azure OpenAI parses and scores CVs in seconds, not hours of manual reading.
AI parsing, automated screening and streamlined approvals compress the timeline.
Self-service portals, automated reference checks and AI-drafted comms free recruiters for people.
Every applicant record stays inside your M365. No third-party ATS database.
Recruiters burn 23 hours reading CVs for a single hire, work a trained AI could shortlist in seconds.
Top candidates drop off because your pipeline is too slow, and you find out only after they have accepted elsewhere.
Applicant PII sits in third-party ATS databases your IT team cannot audit, govern or secure, which is a POPIA exposure.
DWx RecruitIQ replaces the sprawl with one platform that runs inside Microsoft 365, and adds agentic AI that scores, ranks and forecasts before a great candidate slips away. The engines advise; your recruiters decide.
They do not wait for a command, they scan, score and surface intelligence the moment it matters. No candidate is ever auto-rejected. Humans always make the final call.
Extracts skills, experience, education and qualifications from any CV format, PDF, Word or scanned image, and structures it instantly for scoring.
Scores every candidate against role requirements with a transparent confidence percentage, surfacing best-fit talent in seconds, not days.
Generates role-specific, competency-aligned interview questions for each position. Structured question sets, not generic templates.
Drafts personalised offers from approved templates, pre-filling salary, benefits, start date and role terms. Review, approve, send in minutes.
Scans job descriptions and screening criteria for biased language and thresholds, flagging issues before they ever reach candidates.
Predicts the likelihood a candidate accepts your offer from role fit, market data and engagement signals, so you act before they ghost.
Re-surfaces passive candidates and past silver-medallists from your own applicant history the moment a matching role opens up.
Ask your hiring data in plain English, "which roles have the highest drop-off at phone screen?", and get an answer, zero report-building.
