A High Volume Hiring Case Study
The Challenge: Improve the quality of hiring high volume, customer service-oriented front line employees. In turn, increase speed to hire and reduce overall hiring costs.
TGA Work:
Analyzed recruitment metrics, including candidate drop-off data throughout the on-line apply process to streamline the application and reduce drop-off.
Conducted a rapid research effort, led by an I/O PhD, to identify and validate “preferred” qualifications for the role to supplement the existing “minimum” qualifications.
Using the new and robust “preferred” qualifications:
- Worked with subject matter experts to reimagine the description of the role and dramatically improve the job ad
- Provided candidates with easy-to-access critical information about - and a realistic preview of - the job
- Developed and inserted job-specific (scored and weighted) screening questions for candidates to complete as part of the on-line apply process. This enabled the ATS to rank candidates by most- to least-qualified, eliminating the manual work completed in the past by recruiting resources.
- Improved the existing initial screening assessment.
- Inserted an additional phone screen before candidates were invited to the final hiring assessment.
Results Over Prior Year – the Headlines:
- Number of on-line apply fields candidates were required to complete was reduced by 75%
- Number of candidates who dropped-off during the on-line apply was reduced by 44%
- Number of applicants who completed the online apply process increased by 92%
- Number of applicants screened automatically by the technology increased by 100%
- Offer rate after the hiring event increased by 59%
- Attrition during training decreased by 71%
- Overall hiring process costs decreased by 17%
