SUCCESS STORY
For Recruiting Director Matt Osborne, researching candidates at Brand Networks was time consuming given multiple, disconnected recruiting systems. Integration of systems through LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect shortened research time, significantly shortening the hiring timeline.
THE CHALLENGE
Time-consuming manual processes
As a recruitment team of one at Brand Networks, Osborne found himself spending a huge portion of each week manually tracking candidate information and updating Brand Networks’ applicant tracking system (ATS), JazzHR. The significant research time prolonged the hiring process.
THE SOLUTION
Single workflow improves productivity
By establishing a direct link between LinkedIn Recruiter and Brand Networks’ ATS with LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect, Osborne can view LinkedIn profiles and up-to-date information of current and past applicants right in the ATS. By establishing a direct link to the ATS with LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect, Osborne saves roughly five hours a week on data entry. As a result, he is able to see the most up-to-date status of current and past applicants, making his days much more efficient.
