With nearly 15 years of experience as a recruiter, Joe Miller is familiar with most recruiting challenges. When he joined RVU, he needed to fill almost 50 vacancies, to grow the team by 25%.
“…It was a real struggle at the time. I’ve done a lot of searching on things like LinkedIn and other platforms previously, but the benefit we had with Hired was a very quick, clear access to people I felt would fit our business. I was able to expedite the searching process.
I find people on Hired and start conversations almost with 50% less time investment from my perspective and a candidate’s perspective. That was absolutely paramount at the time that I was trying to hire 25 people in a quarter…I absolutely couldn’t have hired engineers at that pace had it taken two months for each one.”
One of the reasons Joe was able to cut his time to hire was the responsiveness of the candidates on Hired. “The speed at which people reply on Hired is double, even triple any other platform we’ve used.” With Hired, RVU expedited the search process and boosted efficiency.
When it comes to the cost of vacancy, Joe says, “I think it’s one thing businesses really misunderstand… We were in a position where we were losing revenue because we didn’t have the engineering capability to deliver certain projects.
That cost of vacancy is way higher than a subscription or agency fee. If I’m spending thirty hours a week intensively searching, then that’s all I’m doing. I’m 300 pages deep on a LinkedIn search I’m getting nothing from.” To take back his time, Joe turned to Hired. Ultimately, with Hired’s support and process change, he reduced his time to hire software engineers from 66 to 16 days. That’s a 312% improvement!
“Hired has increased our efficiency exponentially,” says Joe.
