Learning how to use AI in hiring starts with automating the three stages where recruiters lose the most time: candidate sourcing, outreach, and scheduling. McKinsey’s 2025 State of AI report found that 88% of respondents now report regular AI use in at least one business function, up from 78% the year prior. In HR, SHRM’s 2025 Talent Trends report puts AI adoption at 43%, and most of those organizations use it for recruiting.
Seven steps cover the implementation arc - from auditing your current workflow to measuring ROI. Built for recruiters who want practical implementation, not theory. New to the concept? Our overview of what AI recruiting is and how it works covers the fundamentals.
TL;DR:
- Start where recruiters lose the most time. Sourcing, outreach, and scheduling deliver the biggest ROI, not screening or interviewing.
- Adoption is already the norm. 88% of McKinsey survey respondents report regular AI use in at least one business function, and 43% of organizations now use AI for HR work, mostly recruiting (SHRM, 2025).
- Run a 7-step playbook. Audit your workflow, pick one or two bottlenecks, evaluate tools, launch sourcing, sequence outreach, automate scheduling, then measure and iterate.
- Build compliance and bias checks into every step. Candidate disclosure, human-in-the-loop review, and adverse-impact monitoring keep AI defensible under EEOC, NYC Local Law 144, and similar rules.
- Track real outcomes, not tool usage. Time-to-hire, response rate, cost-per-hire, and quality-of-hire tell you whether AI is paying off; seat counts don’t.
- Pin covers the three highest-ROI stages in one place. Pin sources from 850M+ profiles, runs multi-channel outreach sequences (automated email plus AI-drafted LinkedIn and SMS tasks), and automates interview scheduling. Recruiters using Pin fill roles in an average of 14 days.
How Is AI Used in Hiring?
Employers use AI in hiring to take repetitive, high-volume work off recruiters’ plates, from finding candidates to booking interviews, while people keep the final decisions. Seven applications cover most of what teams deploy today:
- Candidate sourcing and matching. AI searches large talent databases and ranks people by skills and experience, including candidates who never applied.
- Personalized outreach. AI drafts messages that reference each candidate’s background and paces follow-ups across email, LinkedIn, and SMS.
- Interview scheduling. Scheduling tools read calendars, offer open slots, and handle confirmations and reschedules.
- Resume screening. Screening software ranks inbound applications against the job’s requirements, which helps most on roles with hundreds of applicants.
- Skills assessments. Some platforms score structured tests or work samples, usually as a later-stage add-on.
- Hiring analytics. Dashboards track time-to-fill, source quality, and funnel drop-off so teams can see what’s working.
- Bias checks. Audit tools flag adverse impact in screening results and biased wording in job posts.
Pin covers the first three, which are also where Step 2 below shows the biggest payoff.
Why Recruiters Are Adopting AI-Powered Hiring in 2026
43% of organizations now use AI to support HR work, up from 26% in 2024, and most of them apply it to recruiting, according to SHRM’s 2025 Talent Trends survey of 2,040 HR professionals. Adoption isn’t hype. It’s driven by real pressure: nonexecutive cost-per-hire averages $5,475 per SHRM’s 2025 benchmarking, talent pools are shrinking, and hiring managers demand faster results.
Productivity gains are equally clear. PwC’s 2026 Global AI Jobs Barometer found companies in the most AI-exposed sectors grew productivity 34% between 2018 and 2025, versus 24% for the least exposed. Jobs requiring AI skills now carry a 62% wage premium. Put simply, the market is rewarding AI-skilled organizations with a real competitive edge, not just marginal efficiency gains.
What’s actually pushing teams to adopt? Three things. First, the math on manual sourcing doesn’t work anymore. Manual LinkedIn searching burns expensive recruiter time on work AI handles in minutes, and AI recruiters now let in-house teams run those searches at scale without the placement fee a staffing firm would charge. Second, candidate expectations have shifted. Candidates want fast responses and personalized messaging, not generic templates sent two weeks after applying. Third, recruiting platforms in 2026 don’t just parse resumes - they source candidates, write outreach sequences, and schedule interviews autonomously.
But implementation quality matters more than adoption speed. According to the SHRM State of AI in HR 2026 report, 56% of HR functions don’t formally measure the success of their AI investments. Skip measurement, and you never learn whether the software is working. Real ROI comes from a structured rollout. Seven steps cover exactly that.
Step 1: Audit Your Current Hiring Workflow
Knowing how to use AI in hiring well starts with a clear baseline. Nearly 90% of HR professionals whose organizations use AI say it saves time or increases efficiency, according to SHRM’s 2025 Talent Trends data, and those gains come fastest when teams target the right bottleneck first. Before purchasing any tool, map out exactly where your team spends its hours.
Two numbers from Criteria Corp’s 2025–2026 Hiring Benchmark Report explain why recruiters feel so stretched: AI use in hiring is up 33% year-over-year, and 74% of hiring professionals say it’s hard to find high-quality candidates with the right skills. Volume alone doesn’t explain the overload; a mismatch between talent supply and demand does. An audit helps you see clearly whether your biggest constraint is finding the right people or finding enough people, which changes which AI capability you prioritize first.
Start by tracking time across four stages for two weeks. Write down how many hours per week your team spends on each:
- Sourcing - searching databases, browsing LinkedIn, reviewing profiles
- Screening - reading resumes, evaluating qualifications, shortlisting
- Outreach - writing emails, sending InMails, follow-up messages
- Scheduling - coordinating calendars, confirming interviews, rescheduling
In most cases, recruiters find that sourcing and outreach eat the biggest share of their week. Teams spending more than 10 hours per recruiter per week on manual sourcing alone have identified their biggest automation opportunity.
Don’t skip the audit. Jump straight to tool shopping without understanding your own bottlenecks, and you’ll likely automate the wrong things. Spending most of your time on interview scheduling? Then buy a scheduling platform, not a sourcing one. What the audit tells you is which AI capability will have the most immediate impact on your specific workflow.
Document your current metrics too: average time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, response rates on outreach, and interview-to-offer ratios. You’ll need these numbers later to measure whether AI actually moved the needle.
One more thing before moving on: get buy-in from your hiring managers early. Share your audit findings with them. Show them where the bottlenecks are and explain which steps you plan to automate. Hiring managers who understand the “why” behind AI tools are far more likely to adopt new workflows and provide the candidate feedback that makes AI sourcing more accurate over time.

Step 2: Identify Which Hiring Stages to Automate First
Not every hiring stage benefits equally from AI. LinkedIn’s 2025 Future of Recruiting report found that heavy users of AI-assisted messaging are 9% more likely to make a quality hire than light users. That points to outreach as a high-payoff stage. There’s still a wide gap between intent and action: Korn Ferry research found 67% of talent professionals expect AI to play a major role in their talent strategies, while LinkedIn reports only 37% of organizations are actively integrating or experimenting with generative AI. Usually, that gap comes down to not knowing where to start. Here’s where AI delivers the most measurable impact, ranked by typical ROI:
Candidate Sourcing (Highest ROI)
Manual sourcing only reaches the profiles a recruiter has time to open, usually on a single network. Scanning hundreds of millions of profiles, AI sourcing surfaces talent that Boolean searches miss entirely. Most teams see the fastest payoff here. Our guide to AI candidate sourcing goes deeper on how this works.
Outreach and Engagement
Personalized multi-channel outreach (email, LinkedIn, SMS) sent at the right time gets dramatically better response rates than generic templates. Sequences that pair automated email follow-ups with LinkedIn and SMS touches reach candidates on the channel they actually check. Pin users see 5x better response rates than industry averages this way. The difference compounds across every search.
Interview Scheduling
Back-and-forth scheduling emails add days to the hiring process. Scheduling software syncs calendars, sends confirmations, and handles rescheduling without recruiter intervention. Not glamorous, but eliminating this friction cuts real days off time-to-fill.
Resume Screening
Screening platforms powered by AI process hundreds of applications in minutes, ranking applicants by fit. High-volume positions with 200+ applications per posting benefit most. Specialist roles with 10-20 applicants are different, and manual review there is often still faster. Our roundup of AI resume screening tools compares the main options.
Pick one or two stages from your audit results. Don’t try to automate everything at once. Teams that roll out AI incrementally - starting with their biggest bottleneck - report better adoption and measurable results within the first month.
What about using AI for candidate assessment and skills testing? It’s a growing area, but the technology is less mature than sourcing and outreach automation. If you’re considering AI-powered assessments, treat them as a second or third phase of your rollout - not the starting point. Get sourcing and outreach working first, then layer in additional capabilities once your team is comfortable with the tools.
Step 3: Evaluate and Choose AI Hiring Tools
37% of organizations are actively integrating or experimenting with generative AI, up from 27% a year earlier, according to LinkedIn’s 2025 Future of Recruiting report. That growth has flooded the market with platforms claiming AI capabilities, but quality varies wildly. When evaluating tools for your team, focus on five criteria that predict long-term value:
Database Size and Coverage
The tool is only as good as the candidate pool it can access. Look for platforms with at least 100M+ profiles. Smaller databases mean you’re missing talent - especially for niche or specialized roles. Pin, for example, searches 850M+ candidate profiles with 100% coverage across North America and Europe, which means you’re not limited to who’s active on a single platform like LinkedIn.
Multi-Channel Outreach
Email-only tools leave candidate engagement on the table. Candidates respond differently across channels. Look for platforms that combine email, LinkedIn messaging, and SMS in coordinated sequences. Pin’s multi-channel sequences send email steps automatically and queue AI-drafted LinkedIn and SMS tasks for the recruiter to send, delivering 5x better response rates than industry averages.
Integration with Your Existing Stack
Any AI tool needs to work with your ATS, calendar, and communication software. Manual data entry or constant tab-switching means adoption will stall. Check for native integrations with your current ATS before committing.
Compliance and Bias Controls
With the EU AI Act’s hiring provisions taking effect in December 2027 and local regulations like NYC’s Local Law 144 already enforced, bias prevention isn’t optional. Look for platforms that have SOC 2 Type 2 certification and built-in guardrails against protected-characteristic bias. Pin is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, and its AI never receives candidate names, gender, or protected characteristics during search and ranking.
Transparent Pricing
Enterprise recruiting platforms often require five-figure annual commitments. If you’re a small or mid-sized team, look for platforms with published pricing and low-commitment entry points. Pin starts with a free tier (no credit card required), and paid plans begin at $99/mo billed annually, which makes it accessible for teams that want to test before scaling up.
As Fahad Hassan, CEO at Range, put it: “Pin delivered exactly what we needed. Within just two weeks of using the product, we hired both a software engineer and a financial planner. The speed and accuracy were unmatched.”
In our experience helping recruiting teams adopt AI hiring software, the setup phase matters more than platform selection. Before any live sourcing run, complete a calibration search first. Take a role you filled in the last three months and compare the AI’s top candidates against who you actually hired. That comparison tells you whether the tool understands your hiring criteria. When it doesn’t, the gap almost always comes from vague job inputs, not from the platform itself. Teams that run this calibration step before going live consistently ramp faster and see better candidate quality from week one. Pin’s AI assistant makes this compounding, since it tunes the search as you review candidates and remembers what it learned for the next role. A well-calibrated setup from week one pays dividends on every future search.
Pin’s AI scans 850M+ profiles to find candidates across any role type - try it free.

Step 4: Set Up AI-Powered Candidate Sourcing
AI sourcing replaces hours of one-profile-at-a-time searching with a ranked shortlist in minutes. A recruiter working manually can only review as many profiles as a focused session allows. An AI sourcing platform scans millions in seconds and returns ranked matches based on skills, experience, company trajectory, and dozens of other signals.
Setting it up for the best results:
Write Clear Job Requirements (Not Just Descriptions)
AI sourcing tools work best with specific inputs. Instead of pasting a generic job description, focus on the must-have criteria: required skills, years of experience ranges, preferred company backgrounds, location requirements, and deal-breakers. The more precise your inputs, the more relevant the output.
Use Semantic Search, Not Just Boolean
That said, Boolean search strings still work, but they miss candidates who describe their skills differently. “Full-stack developer” and “software engineer with frontend and backend experience” describe the same person. Semantic search powered by AI understands these equivalences. Platforms requiring complex Boolean strings for every search are making you work harder than necessary.
Review and Refine Results
No AI sourcing platform is fire-and-forget. Spend time reviewing the first batch of results. Mark which candidates are strong fits and which aren’t. Well-built platforms learn from your feedback and improve subsequent searches, so you spend less time re-reviewing profiles you’ve already ruled out.
Calibration searches separate effective AI sourcing from mediocre results. Run your first search as a test with a role you recently filled. Compare the top candidates against who you actually hired. That comparison tells you quickly whether the platform understands your hiring criteria or needs adjustment.
As Laura Rust, founder of Rust Search, described it: “Pin helps me find needle-in-a-haystack candidates with real precision, like filtering by company size during someone’s tenure, so I can zero in on the right operators for a specific stage.”
Beyond calibration, also consider how sourcing fits into your broader pipeline. Best results come when sourcing is paired with automated outreach - source a batch of candidates, then immediately push them into a personalized contact sequence. Treating sourcing and outreach as separate manual steps defeats the purpose of automation. Aim for a continuous flow from candidate discovery to first conversation.
How To Source More Candidates on LinkedIn
Step 5: Launch Automated Outreach Sequences
Automated sequences let one recruiter keep hundreds of candidates in motion at once, a volume no one can match by hand. But volume alone doesn’t win. Personalization and a second channel are what lift response rates, which is why Pin users see 5x better response rates than industry averages.
Four tactics build outreach sequences that work:
Personalize at Scale
Generic “I came across your profile” messages get ignored. That’s the bottom line. Outreach platforms pull specific details from candidate profiles - recent projects, career transitions, shared connections - and weave them into messages that feel individually written. Recipients actually read and respond to messages that reference their actual background.
Use Multiple Channels
Don’t put all your outreach on one channel. A candidate who ignores an email might respond to a LinkedIn message. Someone who doesn’t check LinkedIn daily might see an SMS. Effective AI outreach sequences coordinate across channels with appropriate timing between touches - typically 3-5 touchpoints over 2-3 weeks.
Set Follow-Up Cadence
Most responses come on the second or third touch, not the first. Configure your sequences with 3-4 follow-ups spaced 3-5 days apart. After the third follow-up, engagement drops sharply. Timing is handled automatically by AI platforms, so no candidate falls through the cracks because a recruiter got busy.
Test and Iterate on Messaging
Never assume your first outreach templates are optimal. Run A/B tests on subject lines, opening lines, and calls to action. Most platforms support this natively. Test one variable at a time - change the subject line while keeping the body identical, or test two different opening hooks. After 50-100 sends per variant, you’ll have enough data to pick a winner.
What does strong outreach actually look like in practice? The best messages reference something specific about the candidate’s background, state why the role is relevant to their trajectory, and make it easy to respond. Avoid walls of text. Three to four sentences per message is the sweet spot. Anything longer gets skimmed or skipped entirely.
Want to know if your outreach is working? Track three numbers against the baseline you recorded in Step 1: open rate, response rate, and positive response rate. If response rates haven’t clearly beaten that baseline after four to six weeks, the problem is usually personalization quality or targeting accuracy, not volume.
Step 6: Automate Interview Scheduling
Manual interview scheduling typically adds days to the hiring process through back-and-forth emails and calendar conflicts. Those extra days matter. A LinkedIn candidate survey cited in Deloitte’s 2025 talent acquisition research found 65% of candidates lose interest in a job after a bad interview experience. AI scheduling eliminates this friction entirely. For a closer look at how AI hiring assistants handle scheduling, we’ve covered the details separately.
Setup covers three key elements:
Calendar Sync and Availability Windows
Connect your team’s calendars so the system knows real-time availability. Set interview windows (e.g., Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10am-4pm) to keep scheduling organized. Based on your actual open slots, the scheduling tool proposes times to candidates without any back-and-forth emails.
Automated Confirmations and Reminders
Once a candidate picks a time, the system sends confirmations to both parties, adds the event to calendars, and sends reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before the interview. Simple as it sounds, automated confirmations eliminate no-shows and last-minute confusion that plague manual scheduling.
Rescheduling Without Recruiter Intervention
Inevitably, candidates need to reschedule - and scheduling software handles it automatically. Candidates click a link, pick a new time, and everyone’s calendars update. No recruiter hours spent on logistics.
Worth prioritizing? Depends on your audit. Teams spending more than 5 hours per week on interview coordination get that time back immediately through scheduling automation. Our guide to automating the full hiring process covers broader automation tactics.
Step 7: Track Metrics and Optimize Continuously
56% of HR functions don’t formally measure the success of their AI investments, according to the SHRM State of AI in HR 2026 report. That means most teams are spending on AI tools without knowing if they work. The teams that do track metrics consistently report stronger time-to-fill, lower cost-per-hire, and better quality of hire. Here’s what to measure and how.
Here are the metrics that matter most:
| Metric | Compare Against | When to Investigate |
|---|---|---|
| Time-to-fill | Your pre-AI baseline from Step 1 | Less than 25% improvement after 90 days |
| Cost-per-hire | SHRM average: $5,475 nonexecutive | No reduction after the first year |
| Outreach response rate | Your pre-AI baseline from Step 1 | No clear lift after four to six weeks |
| Quality-of-hire | 90-day retention and manager ratings | Retention or ratings declining |
Time-to-Fill
Measure from job opening to accepted offer. For context, SHRM’s 2026 benchmarking puts the median time-to-fill for nonexecutive roles at 39 days, while Pin users fill roles in an average of 14 days. No improvement after 60 days usually signals a tool setup or targeting issue worth diagnosing.
Cost-per-Hire
Factor in platform subscription costs, reduced recruiter hours, and any decrease in external agency spend. SHRM’s 2025 benchmarking data puts average cost-per-hire at $5,475 for nonexecutive roles and $35,879 for executives. Executive cost-per-hire is up 113% since 2017, per SHRM’s executive benchmarking brief. Even modest percentage improvements represent significant savings against those baselines.
Outreach Response Rate
Response rate is your clearest signal for outreach quality. Track it weekly against your pre-AI baseline. A flat rate after a month means revisiting messaging templates and targeting criteria, since well-built multi-channel sequences should lift replies well above what single-channel templates earned.
Quality-of-Hire Indicators
Track offer acceptance rates, 90-day retention, and hiring manager satisfaction scores. LinkedIn’s 2025 Future of Recruiting report found heavy users of AI-assisted messaging are 9% more likely to make a quality hire. Quality metrics lagging behind speed gains suggest your AI is optimizing for volume over fit.
Set a clear benchmark: less than 25% time-to-fill improvement within 90 days means scheduling a configuration review. No platform is magic without accurate job requirements, calibrated search criteria, and consistent recruiter feedback. Whoever treats AI as set-it-and-forget-it consistently underperforms the teams that actively refine their setup.
Investment is only accelerating. Korn Ferry’s 2026 talent acquisition research found that 84% of talent leaders plan to use AI in 2026, and 52% plan to add autonomous AI agents to their teams. That’s the trajectory: teams that measure and optimize now are building the habits that will make every subsequent AI investment pay off faster.
Compliance and Bias Prevention in AI-Powered Hiring
Under the EU AI Act, hiring AI is classified as “high-risk.” The 2026 AI Omnibus pushed full compliance for these systems back to December 2, 2027, and breaching high-risk obligations carries fines of up to 15 million euros or 3% of global turnover. In the US, NYC Local Law 144 already requires a bias audit within one year of using an automated employment decision tool. Penalties run $500 to $1,500 per violation, and each day of use counts separately. California’s FEHA automated decision regulations took effect October 1, 2025, and at least four states now have active AI employment laws.
Candidate and employee perception matters here too. According to Mercer’s Global Talent Trends 2026 report, employee concern about AI job loss surged from 28% in 2024 to 40% in 2026. At the same time, 63% of employees say they would trade a raise for opportunities to upskill in AI and digital skills. Candidates want to work with organizations that use AI responsibly - ones that invest in people rather than replacing them. That perception shapes how your outreach and employer brand land during the hiring process.
Here’s what this means for your implementation:
Choose Tools with Built-In Safeguards
Your AI platform should never use candidate names, gender, age, race, or other protected characteristics in its ranking algorithms. Ask vendors directly: what data does the AI see during candidate evaluation? Vague or evasive answers here are a red flag. Look for SOC 2 Type 2 certification as a baseline for data security standards.
Conduct Regular Bias Audits
Even with safeguards, AI systems can develop indirect bias through proxy variables (like zip code correlating with race). Run quarterly audits comparing your AI’s candidate recommendations against demographic benchmarks. Some platforms include built-in reporting for this. When your platform lacks built-in reporting, build the review into your quarterly recruiting operations cycle.
Maintain Human Oversight
Recruiter decisions should be augmented by AI, not replaced by it. Keep humans in the loop for final hiring decisions, especially for senior roles. Written policies describing how AI recommendations are reviewed before action is taken are increasingly expected by regulators. Document your oversight process before you need to produce it.
Document Everything
Keep written records of which AI software you use, what decisions it informs, and how human reviewers evaluate recommendations before taking action. Candidates and regulators may ask how a hiring decision was made. Documented processes protect you in both cases - when a hiring manager questions why a candidate was or wasn’t surfaced, you can trace the logic.
Compliance added as an afterthought is much harder to retrofit than compliance built in from day one. Address it before going live, not after regulatory pressure arrives. For a deeper checklist, see our guide to ethical AI in hiring.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do employers use AI in hiring?
Employers mostly use AI in hiring for candidate sourcing, personalized outreach, interview scheduling, and resume screening, with analytics and bias audits layered on top. The common thread is volume: AI handles searches, follow-ups, and calendar logistics at a scale recruiters can’t match by hand. Recruiters and hiring managers still make the final decisions.
How to use AI in hiring: where do you start?
Start with a two-week audit of your current process to identify where your team spends the most time. Most recruiters find sourcing is their biggest bottleneck. Begin with one AI tool for that stage, measure results for 30-60 days, then expand. SHRM’s 2025 data shows teams that implement incrementally report higher satisfaction than those who try to automate everything at once.
How much does it cost to implement AI recruiting tools?
Costs range from free to $35,000+ per year depending on the platform. Pin offers a free tier with no credit card required, with paid plans starting at $99/mo billed annually. Enterprise platforms from larger vendors typically start at $10,000-$35,000 per year. For most small and mid-sized teams, platforms in the $99-$250/mo range deliver the best value relative to features.
Which AI tool is best for recruitment?
It depends on which stage your audit flags as the bottleneck. For sourcing, outreach, and scheduling, Pin is the best AI recruiting tool for most in-house teams and agencies. It searches 850M+ profiles, delivers 5x better response rates than industry averages, and holds a 4.8/5 rating on G2. For high-volume inbound screening, pair it with a dedicated screening tool or your ATS’s built-in ranking.
Does AI in hiring reduce bias or increase it?
Tool design and implementation both determine the outcome. Well-designed AI hiring platforms that exclude protected characteristics from ranking algorithms can reduce bias compared to human-only processes. However, AI trained on biased historical data can amplify existing patterns. NYC’s Local Law 144 requires annual independent bias audits for exactly this reason, with fines of $500-$1,500 per day for non-compliance. Look for platforms with SOC 2 certification, built-in bias audits, and transparent documentation of what data the AI accesses during candidate evaluation.
How long does it take to see results from AI recruiting tools?
Within 30-60 days of implementation, most teams see measurable improvement in time-to-fill. Outreach response rates improve almost immediately when switching from manual single-channel to automated multi-channel sequences. Full ROI typically materializes within 3-6 months as the system learns your preferences and your team adapts workflows.
Can small recruiting teams benefit from AI hiring tools?
Relative impact tends to be largest for small teams because they have the least time to waste on manual tasks. A 2-3 person recruiting team that automates sourcing and outreach can effectively operate like a team twice its size. Platforms with free tiers or starter pricing under $150/mo make this accessible without enterprise budgets.
Key Takeaways
- Start with a process audit - know where your team’s time goes before buying any tool
- Prioritize sourcing and outreach automation first; these stages deliver the highest ROI
- Evaluate tools on database size, multi-channel outreach, compliance certifications, and pricing transparency
- Track time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, response rates, and quality-of-hire indicators monthly
- Build compliance and bias prevention into your implementation from day one, not as an afterthought
- Implement incrementally: one stage at a time, measure, then expand
Once you know how to use AI in hiring, the next challenge is finding one platform that covers the stages worth automating first. Pin is the best AI recruiting platform for teams that want sourcing, outreach, and scheduling in a single workflow. It sources candidates from 850M+ profiles across professional networks, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and patents. Its multi-channel sequences deliver 5x better response rates than industry averages, and interview scheduling runs from the same dashboard. According to Pin’s 2026 user survey across 2,000+ organizations and 20,000+ users, recruiters fill roles in an average of 14 days.
