As a multinational IT services company, we launched a massive recruitment effort earlier this year. In 2011, we hired more than 300 employees in the U.S., India and Argentina. At any one time, there were between 50 and 100 open positions within the company. With our previous system, if we had experienced this kind of growth, we would have — ironically — needed to hire extra staff to manage all the spreadsheets and separate HR packages running in different countries.
But with Jobscience Recruiting, we’ve saved on staffing costs and stopped doubling up on efforts. All 40 members of our HR and recruiting staff use Jobscience on a daily basis. The system allows users to have different access privileges depending on their role and specialty. Because all of the information is stored and shared in the cloud, our international offices can instantly share information in the same format, with automatic currency changes and language translations.
We were pleasantly surprised by how quickly Jobscience was deployed. It only took six weeks to implement the product in three countries — including data migration and customization.
With 18 offices worldwide, keeping the information flow running smoothly and staying on top of paperwork is a challenge, but running our operations in the cloud has already removed more than 50 percent of the paperwork — which is good news for the environment, too!
