AI and digital transformation initiatives, including PowerSuite and Sophie AI, enhanced productivity and recruiter precision, contributing to a 7% increase in placement rates and scaled commercial impact in the US.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
