Case Study

Rapidly expanding company makes single-handed recruitment efforts quite the challenge While growth within an organization is almost always considered a positive, the internal struggles to keep up the demands for manpower can be overwhelming. These demands are compounded by the immediate need to fill these roles, limited resources, and the fact that there were hundreds of positions to fill by a lone Recruitment Manager. The contractor has experienced an intense and exponential growth over the last few years, with this growth being in sales volumes, geographical locations, and employee size. The Corporate Recruitment Manager was challenged to recruit, hire and onboard hundreds of employees by herself. “Of these six new companies, five of them have been start-up companies that I have had to staff fully, single-handedly,” she said. “To say my recruitment needs have been vast and high-volume is the understatement of the century.” In order to achieve these recruitment goals, she began her search for an easy-to-use technical solution. After much research and competitor comparisons, she chose the BirdDogHR Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and Onboarding modules.

After implementing the BirdDogHR ATS and Onboarding modules, the Corporate Recruitment Manager said that she has been able to “greatly reduce the need, and therefore the substantial expense, that comes with using a headhunter.” She has recently filled multiple management positions over a several week span that ordinarily would have been filled by an external recruitment source. The candidates that filled these positions were sourced through the use of the BirdDogHR ATS and FasTrack. She was thrilled to unveil recruitment savings will be in excess of $100,000 for the first quarter of 2017 alone, which means that BirdDogHR has paid “Implementing the BirdDogHR for itself in less than a 12-month duration. Another product that she has taken advantage of within the ATS has been a great step forward BirdDogHR suite is the one-time fee FasTrack Managed for us.
