Progressive hires 12000 workers with AI recruitment
Progressive plans to hire 12000 employees this year and uses AI to process hundreds of thousands of applications annually.
Insurance giant Progressive is set to hire 12,000 employees this year, relying on AI-driven recruitment tools to efficiently parse through its annual influx of 800,000 job applications.
- AI Acceleration: The company has significantly sped up its hiring process by deploying artificial intelligence to screen and evaluate candidates, ensuring faster and more precise matches for open positions.
- High Application Volume: With nearly 800,000 applications received each year, manual processing would be impractical, making AI an essential tool for scalability.

This move highlights the growing trend of AI integration in HR, where large corporations leverage technology to manage overwhelming applicant numbers while maintaining hiring efficiency.
