Client snapshot

• Industry: Restaurants

• Country: Spain

• Employees: 600

The challenge

Running a 600-person restaurant group means constant, high-volume hiring across multiple locations.

Grosso Napoletano's process was manual end-to-end: phone screens, email coordination, spreadsheet tracking. By the time a candidate reached an interview, days had passed and many had accepted offers elsewhere.

"We were running the whole process manually. Every step had a handoff, and every handoff added days. By the time we got candidates to an interview, we'd already lost half of them."

— Bruno González Calvo, CEO

The solution

Clara AI replaced manual coordination with 24/7 AI voice interviews, instant pre-screening, and candidate self-booking. The team stopped managing handoffs and started managing pipeline.

Deployed in December as a pilot, it reached full rollout by February.
