Oracle Recruiting fills fast-food pipeline with qualified candidates
Learn how Baker Tilly helped optimize processes and deliver a modern recruiting platform, to transform the talent acquisition process.
Client background
A national fast food retail chain with a combined 6,500 franchise and company-owned restaurants, and over 21,000 employees.
The business challenge
The client’s Applicant Tracking System (ATS) was no longer supporting the desired streamlined recruiting experience and causing challenges for candidates, recruiters and hiring managers throughout the talent acquisition process.
- Candidate Experience: The online process was inefficient and unfriendly, causing strong candidates to voluntarily leave the recruiting pipeline. The client lacked clear, timely and consistent communication with candidates throughout the process, which delayed response times, decreased engagement, and slowed the entire recruiting process – leading to a poor overall experience for candidates.
- Recruiter Productivity: The outdated design of the client’s ATS created numerous manual processes for recruiting resources. They spent excessive time on activities like correspondence and offer letter development rather than higher value-add activities like recruiting for business critical or hard to fill roles.
- Reporting Capabilities: The over engineered process in the old solution diminished the ability to report on key metrics such as source of hire, quality of hire, and time to hire, leading to no analytics capabilities.
The Baker Tilly approach
Baker Tilly employed its proven methodology and worked with the client to tailor an approach for the Oracle Recruiting project. Key activities and milestones included:
- An independent review of the existing Applicant Tracing System (ATS) to identify possible optimization opportunities.
- Identifying, compiling, and prioritizing current pain points throughout the recruiting process and their impact on the client’s ability to meet talent and business objectives.
- Executing a project road map to develop optimizations in alignment with the client’s business needs.
- Leading multiple rounds of testing to ensure the optimizations fit the business needs and improved stakeholder buy in prior to deployment.
- Coordinating necessary communication and training efforts to ensure end user adoption and minimize interruptions to business activity during the project.
The business impact
By optimizing their processes and delivering a modern recruiting platform, the client has transformed their talent acquisition process. Their teams are positioned to support continued growth and other key strategic objectives for the chain.
- Improved Candidate Experience: The new career site provides a welcoming experience for candidates and enhanced communication tools keeping them informed of where they are in the process
- Improved Recruiter Productivity: Automated offer letter development is empowering recruiters to focus on recruiting functions which further drive value for the organization
- Improved Reporting Capabilities: Consistent visibility to key recruiting metrics throughout the candidate selection process, allowing the use of data within reports to drive strategic decisions
