Success Story 3: Rapid-Hire Results

Scenario:  After several years of downsizing, a company was experiencing significant growth in one of their divisions. The company determined that they would need to hire approximately 120 new employees in the first quarter.

Response: With such an aggressive timeline, the HR team was certain their staff could not source, screen and assess the massive number of candidates required to staff over 120 positions.

Proposition: Why did this company select the HR OptIn team to assist in their staffing needs?

Action:

• Process Definition – the team outlined the most efficient and effective process by which to advertise, source, screen, assess and recommend the most qualified candidates for their hiring managers to consider.
• Strategic Tools – The HR OptIn team developed the screening and assessment tools based on the client’s specifications for each open position. The tools were used to evaluate the candidates at each step in the process and to determine the most qualified candidate for each position.
• Qualified Screeners & Assessors – the Consultants who screened and assessed the candidates were all experienced in staffing processes and skilled in assessing against the defined competencies and requirements for the positions.
• Compliance –  HR OptIn developed a consistent and compliant method of evaluating candidates to ensure the most qualified candidates were sent to the client.  The team also maintained all necessary records involved in the staffing process.

HR OptIn defined and delivered on the most efficient and effective process to handle approximately 6000 applicants for over 120 positions. Through rigor and discipline, they screened every resume and assessed approximately 1000 candidates to hone in on the best three candidates for each position in the timeframe required by the client.
