Recruiting compliance risk and lost candidates motivate AM General to make a change
Case Study
AM General’s manual and time consuming recruitment process puts the organization at risk. To expedite efforts to attract a larger quantity of qualified applicants and remain compliant, AM General required a swift ATS implementation. “As a federal contractor we need an ATS that helps us remain compliant and reduces risk by incorporating the appropriate reporting,” said Glenda Williams, Senior Manager of Human Resources at AM General. “Our current process is time consuming, and we post to each job board individually instead of through a single system. In addition the job application process isn’t applicant friendly, so we are losing out on qualified candidates.”
Centralized system saves time and reduces risks Williams and her partner Joan Deal, Senior Manager of Administrative Services evaluated 14 different vendors and chose the BirdDogHR ATS because it met their core competencies of being highly configurable, manages the entire candidate experience, has in-depth reporting and it is delivered via a SaaS model. Multiple departments were involved in the selection of the BirdDogHR ATS including HR, Procurement, IT, Administrative Systems and Supply Chain Management.
Automated and simplified system increases quantity of qualified applicants AM General looks forward to having ease of use while navigating the system and saving time posting jobs through the ATS instead of multiple job boards. “Because of BirdDogHR’s history of working with federal contractors and high compliance organizations, we know that the BirdDogHR ATS is the best recruitment and applicant tracking solution for our company. We also value the heavy focus on compliance reporting that will help us prepare for potential audits,” said Williams.
