HIREBRIDGE EMPOWERS HEBCO APPLICANT TRACKING TO GO FROM 2 TO 250 CANDIDATES IN HOURS – NOT WEEKS
POMPANO BEACH, FL (PRWEB) June 28, 2007 -– When executives with
Hebco landed a plum new contract in early 2007, they saw their
future – and it was daunting, filled with faxed resumes and file
cabinet chaos. The information and technology solutions company had
inked a five-year deal to find and place technical and aerospace
employees for a large client. But their traditional system of
placing want ads with a fax number for inbound applications and
resumes would have swamped the three people who handle ad hoc HR at
the 65-person company in Oklahoma City.
For years, Hebco had fielded no more than two or three resumes a
month. This contract likely would result in hundreds in the first
month alone. So Mike Post, Hebco’s director of business development
and technology, scoured the Web for applicant tracking system
providers. His list included 45 companies of varying prices and
capabilities. In short order, Post had winnowed the list to one
provider: Hirebridge LLC.
Hebco had several needs: A cost-effective solution right-sized for
his small business, a product that was quick to install and easy to
learn, and ongoing technical support to help his people embrace the
application and work through any growing pains. Hebco needed a
solution that would enable the company to post ads and process
hundreds of inbound candidate applications and resumes without
submitting ads to newspapers, fielding faxes, or calling candidates
to schedule interviews. Moreover, the ATS needed to be understood by
engineers, not HR people – which Hebco doesn’t employ.
Hirebridge did all that – and more. Within days, the application was
tied to Hebco’s own HR page on its Website. After two one-hour
training sessions, the people who handle candidate review were fully
functional on the platform. Hirebridge’s alliances with job boards
and engines like GoogleBase, Indeed, SimplyHired and Craigslist made
job posting easier and more affordable than traditional newspaper
want-ads. And when questions did arise, customer service calls to
Hirebridge – including several over the weekend – were answered
within hours.
Hirebridge’s benefits over paper processing became clear almost
immediately. Hebco often saves candidate applications and resumes,
in case future openings become available. Try manually searching
hundreds of paper applications for one candidate skilled in a
specific area. Using the Hirebridge platform, Hebco’s team can
manage, score, sort and track candidates. Moreover, the ATS’s
Web-based interface and key-word search capabilities mean anyone in
any of Hebco’s three offices can search for a specific criteria,
whether skill sets and expertise, geography, training or other
attributes to find, for example, a candidate capable of providing
logistics support for B-1 bomber mission data analysis, or servicing
a particular aircraft engine. Post also can quickly send off an
acknowledgement of resume receipt, interview scheduling request or
any one of scores of templated responses with the click of a button.
“We can search in moments and call them within minutes,” Post says.
“Over the next five years we may at any time be preparing a proposal
to support a particular staffing requirement. We need to be able to
act on that quickly.”
Beating out 44 other competitors, wowing prospects with a
cost-sensitive, feature-rich solution and then impressing them again
with fast-turnaround and attentive customer service may be unique to
some companies. But at Hirebridge, it’s the way things are done. In
fact, the need for an ATS capable of handing a flood of new resumes
often is what drives clients to seek out Hirebridge in the first
place.
“Hebco is a perfect example of the power Hirebridge brings to small-
to medium-sized businesses that have no HR budget or team, but vital
HR needs,” says Marc Berman, founder and CEO of Hirebridge. “That’s
why we say Hirebridge is just ‘smarter hiring management
solutions.’”
