We're taking those learnings and directly applying them to empower business leaders to strategically improve hiring, retention, and employee engagement. Carri Chat & Apply represents the first of many releases that will showcase our unparalleled commitment to intelligently integrate conversational AI across the breadth of the employee lifecycle and core day-to-day workflows that exist within Harri."
