LilyAttract: fewer clicks, 94% pre-screen completion

We shipped LilyAttract with a simple belief: candidates should never fill in the same information twice, and every unnecessary click is a click where you lose them.

The early data says it's working.

What changed

LilyAttract connects the application and the pre-screen into a single journey. When a candidate applies for a role, they move straight into Lily's screening flow — no separate link, no second form, no gap where momentum drops off. It's the same structured screening process, just with fewer steps between "I want this job" and "I've started the process."

The numbers (same employer, before and after)

We compared results for one care provider running the same roles and the same job boards, before and after activating LilyAttract.

The headline: pre-screen completion jumped from 70% to 94%. But the number that matters most day-to-day is the time. Previously, candidates completed the pre-screen in just over three hours on average — not because the screen itself was long, but because there was a natural gap between applying and picking up the screening link. Now it takes one minute, because they're already in the flow.

More candidates completing screening means more candidates reaching your team. Same job board spend, more interviews, more hires.

Why intent matters

It's still early days, but we think intent is the main driver. When candidates apply and go straight into screening, they're at peak engagement — actively looking, right now, for this job. LilyAttract captures that moment instead of letting it cool.

What this means for care providers

If you're on Lily's End to End plan, LilyAttract is ready to activate on your roles today. There's nothing new to configure — it's built into the platform.

If you're not on Lily yet, these numbers show what happens when you remove friction from the candidate journey. Not a marginal improvement. A step change.
