MediaMarkt Turkey is no stranger to excellence. Since stepping into the Turkish market, they’ve built a reputation for quality and innovation. With their AI’M Hiring project powered by VireUp, they transformed recruitment for entry and mid-level roles while keeping things fair, transparent, and precise. Using VireUp’s human-led AI technology, MediaMarkt also introduced a digital avatar that personally asks candidates their questions. The digital avatar made interviews more engaging and boosted the brand image. The total result was a smoother process that brought out the best in candidates. ![MediaMarkt won global awards with their innovative recruitment, powered by VireUp](https://str.vireup.com/uploads/Media_Markt_won_global_awards_with_their_innovative_recruitment_powered_by_Vire_Up_85447cd93f.jpg) ### A New Era in Recruitment Since rolling out AI’M Hiring, MediaMarkt Turkey has seen significant improvements.

How to Improve Your Hiring Process in 7 Steps

Did you know that your hiring process could be costing you tens of thousands per year? That’s right—according to a 2022 survey, employers spend an average of $4,700 per hire.

If that sounds like a lot, it’s probably because it is.
