Challenge
The client, a rapidly expanding internet company, was experiencing significant growth and needed to fill over 500 open positions within a short period. These roles spanned across various departments, including software development, data analysis, IT support, digital marketing, and customer service. The client had tight timelines to onboard the necessary talent, and they required qualified candidates with specific skill sets that matched their company culture and operational needs. Additionally, the hiring needed to be seamless to avoid disruption in their scaling plans.
Our Approach
- Understanding the Client’s Needs: We started with a thorough understanding of the client’s requirements, their corporate culture, the technical skills they needed, and the urgency involved. We aligned with their internal hiring managers to ensure we met their criteria effectively.
- Leveraging AI-Powered Recruitment Tools: Using our AI-powered Applicant Tracking System (ATS), we automated much of the candidate sourcing, screening, and shortlisting process. This system filtered resumes based on matching job descriptions with the skills and experience of potential candidates, significantly reducing the manual effort.
- Broadening the Talent Pool: We expanded the talent search using multiple platforms, including job boards, professional networks, and social media. We also tapped into our pre-existing talent pools and network of skilled professionals to source qualified candidates quickly.
- Mass Screening and Shortlisting: Given the volume of applications, our AI system helped prioritize candidates based on qualifications, experience, and alignment with the company’s culture. We conducted initial screenings and interviews in bulk, focusing on candidates who met the primary technical requirements.
- Customized Candidate Assessments: For technical roles, we designed custom assessments that evaluated candidates’ coding, problem-solving, and analytical skills. For non-technical roles, we tailored the assessments to test industry knowledge, communication, and digital skills.
- Efficient Coordination with Client’s HR Team: We established a smooth communication channel between our recruiters and the client’s HR team to ensure they received regular updates. Daily and weekly reports were generated to track progress and adjust strategies as needed.
- Onboarding Assistance: Once candidates were selected, we assisted in their onboarding by coordinating documentation, background checks, and final interviews. This ensured that the client’s internal HR team could focus on other core activities without delays in the hiring process.
Results
- Faster Time-to-Hire: We successfully filled all 500 positions within the client’s deadline. Our AI system reduced the screening time by 40%, allowing us to focus on high-quality candidates and speed up the interview process.
- Quality of Hire: Over 90% of the candidates met or exceeded the client’s expectations during their initial performance review, with many contributing immediately to ongoing projects.
- Cost Efficiency: Our streamlined process saved the client approximately 30% in recruitment costs compared to their traditional methods.
- Long-Term Partnership: The success of this project led the client to engage us in future hiring campaigns for other departments as well.
