Procore Technologies
A LinkedIn Success Story
How a fast-growing construction software company in a small beach town
doubled job applicants by zeroing in on its employer brand
Procore Technologies is a rapidly-growing software company based in Carpinteria, California, a small beach town 90 minutes north of Los Angeles. It provides cloud-based construction software to clients globally. With Procore, customers can efficiently project manage even the most complex construction projects. Since launch, this small business has become the most used construction software application on the planet.
Challenge: Turn business challenges into competitive advantages
Procore experienced a nearly 300% increase in employee count over the last two years. As the business scaled, its recruiting team started having difficulty finding talent with a background in technology, a passion for construction, and the desire to relocate to Carpinteria. However, with the beach as the view from your conference room, Procore’s challenging location became a key selling point.
When Andii Lee, Head of Recruiting, joined the company, she took on the responsibility of defining the company’s brand from the ground up. She saw that the candidates they wanted were on LinkedIn, but realized that the team needed to find a way to attract these highly sought-after candidates from the bigger cities like Los Angeles and San Diego to their smaller-town headquarters. LinkedIn was the best platform to show candidates what Procore is all about as a place to work.
Solution: A culture candidates can see
Procore recognized it needed to build awareness for its brand and opportunities among a larger pool of talent. When Procore began working with LinkedIn, they implemented Career Pages and a Recruiter seat to reach and educate potential candidates and more easily recruit across Southern California. To augment these efforts, Procore enlisted all employees to be brand ambassadors by taking photos and writing posts to showcase the company’s culture. Over time, this employee voice translated to a bigger branding program and a larger investment in Procore’s LinkedIn Career Pages, where pictures of beautiful Carpinteria and friendly office dogs told the story of life at Procore.
The recruiting team quickly expanded the reach of this content among target talent pools, engaging audiences with Sponsored Updates and exciting job opportunities. The team used Recruiter and Connectifier to contact top talent, making it easier to ultimately hire the right people to the right roles.
Results: How a magnetic culture creates company loyalty
Culture is magnetic at Procore, and they’ve found that once talent joins the team, they’re unlikely to leave. “We work hard to make sure that folks here are happy. Our voluntary and involuntary turnover rate is less than 5%,” said Lee. With a complete set of tools to reach, attract, and recruit talent, Procore is able to successfully hire for the skills and roles needed to help their business thrive.
In just a year, their investments resulted in 2x Career Pages views per month and 2.2x company followers, ultimately driving twice as many qualified applicants to their open roles. Using Career Pages, Sponsored Updates, Jobs, Recruiter, and Connectifier, Procore can successfully amplify their brand and attract more of the right talent to Carpinteria, California.
