Why Frontline Recruitment Is So Challenging

Frontline hiring comes with unique challenges. You’re not just hiring one or two people — you’re filling dozens of roles across multiple locations, often on tight schedules.

The main issues?

• Too many applicants and not enough time to review them all.

• Candidates who drop out because the process takes too long.

• Constant backfilling due to turnover.

Automating these steps with AI in recruitment changes everything. CloudApper AI Recruiter filters applications instantly, keeps candidates updated, and gives HR teams the breathing room they’ve been missing — all while working smoothly within UKG.

How CloudApper AI Recruiter Enhances Frontline Recruitment in UKG

Hiring at scale can stretch HR teams thin — especially when frontline roles demand speed, accuracy, and consistent communication. That’s where CloudApper AI Recruiter, fully integrated with UKG, changes the game.

Here’s how it transforms every stage of frontline recruitment in UKG to help you hire smarter and faster.

Making Applications Easy for Frontline Candidates

Let’s be honest — long, complicated forms are a dealbreaker. Many frontline candidates apply from their phones, during breaks, or after work. If the process takes too long, they’ll simply move on.

CloudApper AI Recruiter makes applying simple and conversational. Candidates can scan a QR code on their phone, answer a few quick questions, and share basic details, all in minutes. No long forms, no logins — just a smooth, mobile-friendly experience that keeps frontline applicants engaged from the start.

Smart Screening That Saves Time

Sorting through piles of resumes is one of the most repetitive parts of frontline recruiting. It’s easy to miss great candidates when everything looks the same.

CloudApper AI Recruiter takes care of that inside UKG. Candidates are asked to provide their resumes and answer some pre-screening questions. The AI Recruiter then parses the resumes and based on the resume data and pre-screening question responses, it provides a ranked shortlist of candidates to the recruiters.

Employee Referrals That Actually Work

Some of the best hires come from your existing employees. They know what it takes to succeed and often have friends or family who would be a great fit.

With CloudApper AI Recruiter, employee referrals become effortless. Workers can share job openings with a few taps, and the AI handles the follow-up with referred candidates automatically. Everything syncs with UKG, so recruiters can easily track who referred whom and how far along each candidate is in the process.

Keeping Candidates Engaged from Start to Finish

One of the biggest problems in frontline recruiting is ghosting — candidates apply, interview, and then disappear. It usually happens because communication slows down or stops altogether.

AI fixes that. CloudApper AI Recruiter automatically sends real-time updates, interview reminders, and quick responses to common questions. Candidates always know where they stand, and recruiters don’t have to send dozens of manual emails.

CloudApper AI keeps candidates in the loop from the first message to the final offer. The result? Fewer no-shows, happier applicants, and faster hiring cycles..

Why the CloudApper + UKG Partnership Works

The best part here is that you don’t have to switch systems or change your workflow.

CloudApper AI Recruiter works directly within UKG Pro and UKG Ready. All candidate data, communications, and referral information flow automatically into the same dashboards your team already uses.

Recruiters can see every interaction in one place — from the first application to the final hire — without juggling spreadsheets or multiple tools. This makes frontline hiring faster, more consistent, and less stressful.

The Bottom Line

Frontline recruitment in UKG doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By adding CloudApper AI Recruiter, HR teams can screen faster, keep candidates engaged, and turn employee referrals into a steady stream of great hires — all within the system they already trust.

It’s not about replacing recruiters or changing how UKG works. It’s about extending what’s possible — giving teams more time to focus on what really matters: finding the right people and creating better workplaces.
