Need for change

Many modern enterprises have outdated legacy systems that slow down their recruitment process. This is driving a wave of digital transformation to modernize their talent acquisition strategies. Such modernization encompasses:

  • Assessing recruitment workflows to understand the current hiring approach and bottlenecks.
  • Evaluating the technology landscape to identify inefficiencies in existing tools and platforms.
  • Detecting gaps and opportunities within the enterprise’s talent acquisition ecosystem.
  • Providing industry insights and best practices for modern recruitment strategies.
  • Enhancing candidate engagement by focusing on innovative experiences tailored to candidates’ needs.

Challenges

We identified multiple challenges in the client’s legacy system that significantly impacted recruitment processes and experiences:

Requisition inefficiencies

40% of requisitions lacked complete and accurate details, and this created delays early in the recruitment cycle.

Lack of critical functionalities

Missing features and lengthy change processes obstructed flexibility, delaying business hiring needs.

Time inefficiencies

15% of the targeted “time to fill” was consumed during the longlisting process– a major hindrance to filling roles promptly. Moreover, 10-day delays in issuing offer letters due to approval roadblocks further prolonged the hiring timeline.

Data and operational limitations

80% of reporting delays stemmed from fragmented systems and dependency on multiple platforms.

Experience gaps

Candidates and internal stakeholders faced diminished experiences due to operational inefficiencies, leading to frustration and disengagement.

Clearly, the status quo was no longer sustainable. A cohesive, advanced solution was needed to address these gaps and drive modern, scalable talent acquisition processes.

Our Solution Paradigm

To tackle these challenges, we applied a strategic fitment framework, an approach designed to align strategic, technical, and aspirational goals while minimizing risks. Through this framework, we outlined the North Star vision for a modernized talent acquisition ecosystem. This roadmap featured three key phases:
