The Sprockets and HourWork platforms are introducing innovative features in early 2025 to help businesses hire smarter, engage their workforce, and drive success. From advanced AI tools to mobile-first solutions, here’s what’s on the way and how it can benefit your business.
HourWork Updates: Smarter Workforce Management
Turnover Risk Identification
With Turnover Risk Identification, HourWork’s predictive AI alerts managers when it identifies employees at risk of leaving. This proactive feature also provides an overview of turnover risk across all locations via a convenient dashboard. These insights enable businesses to retain their best employees and reduce the costs associated with turnover.
Priority Message Identification
Priority Message Identification ensures that critical employee communications don’t go unnoticed. The system flags urgent messages—such as safety concerns or formal complaints—and alerts the appropriate individuals. This streamlined process allows businesses to address pressing matters quickly and create a more supportive work environment.
AI Assistant Auto-Responses
JoJo, the AI-powered assistant, is now equipped to respond to employee questions automatically. Whether it’s information about schedules or company policies, JoJo delivers fast, accurate answers even when managers aren’t available. This feature saves time for managers while empowering employees to get the information they need.
Dashboard Improvements
Enhanced dashboard functionality now allows users to filter responses by location, offering a more tailored view of employee sentiment. This improvement gives leadership teams the ability to make informed, location-specific decisions to address challenges and drive success.
Sprockets Mobile App: Manage Hiring on the Go
The new Sprockets Connect app puts the power of hiring in your pocket. You can now source, screen, and schedule interviews with top applicants from your mobile device. Plus, the app will soon incorporate HourWork’s post-hire functionality, making it an all-in-one solution for managing the employee journey. This streamlined mobile experience saves time and allows managers to hire smarter, even on the busiest days.
Indeed Integration: Streamline Your Hiring Process
Sprockets’ integration with Indeed makes hiring more efficient by combining improved applicant flow with smarter screening tools. Users can manage job listings directly from the Sprockets dashboard, ensuring candidates can complete their applications quickly and seamlessly. Businesses benefit from fewer drop-offs, a smoother process, and a larger pool of qualified applicants ready to take the next step.
Career Pages: Attract Applicants With a Professional Touch
Our new career pages help businesses advertise job openings with a polished, branded presence. These custom pages include JoJo, the conversational AI assistant, who is available to chat with applicants, answer questions, and guide them through the application process. A strong career page not only builds your brand but also converts job seekers into candidates more effectively.
Smart Pools: Intelligent Outreach for Faster Hires
Pools campaigns now use advanced AI to reignite interest in open positions by targeting past applicants and employees most likely to reapply. The system automatically considers factors like location proximity, job relevance, and responses from exit surveys. These optimized campaigns fill positions faster while leveraging an existing talent pool already familiar with your business.
More to Come in 2025
These updates are just the beginning of what’s planned for the year ahead. Sprockets and HourWork continue to innovate, combining cutting-edge AI with user-friendly tools to make hiring and workforce management as efficient as possible. Stay tuned for even more features designed to help your business thrive in 2025 and beyond.
