The Challenge
The company hit an unprecedented state of growth. Internal talent acquisition team was not geared to scale up fast enough. Experience with staffing agencies was less than desirable in terms of the quality of candidates.
Longer hiring cycle was hurting the operations team, forcing shuffling of staff to address customer priorities. Overall productivity was taking a hit and burdening the hiring managers with reviewing a large number of unsuitable resumes and taking precious time away from them.
Considering the company was short-staffed and people were stretched, it was starting to affect customer deliveries. Besides, the company was not leveraging the new and innovative industry practices in hiring and compete in the market. The leadership realized that in order to get to the next level, they need to transform their hiring function. They decided on a strategic and long term solution and engaged with snipebridge to help them meet their hiring goal.
