Candidate quality is essential to any recruiting function. If you struggle to find quality talent, the downstream effect includes process inefficiencies and lack of ROI on your technology budget.

Chris Murdoch explains, "With the other platform, our team was forced to reach out to more people because the initial candidates surfaced were frequently irrelevant. Our team had to reach out to seven times more people because the best candidates were not shown early on during searches."

In addition to greater efforts to find and engage talent, the platform Chris's team employed weas not up to par.

"At the time, our team was using a different platform that was clunky and slow, and the response rates were lower than expected."

As an organization that empowers its users to pick the platform that works for them, IQTalent is always trying to improve. That same mindset extends to the technology used.

"The other platforms stopped innovating and didn't listen to us."

One of Chris' team members directly compared candidates qualified with hireEZ against their previous platform. The difference was staggering, with 7x more candidates qualified from hireEZ.

Chris explained, "We were finding better-targeted results with more relevant candidates returned during sourcing in hireEZ."

With a more substantial pool of qualified talent to engage, it only made sense that Chris' team saw engagement performance increase with an alignment between relevant candidates and roles.

Chris explained, "hireEZ's real strength is engagement. By allowing us to automate and create drip campaigns, we saw response rates double compared to the previously used platform. Results like this made hireEZ go viral amongst our team."

Chris and the team use hireEZ's talent market and competitive intelligence product, EZ Insights, in a few ways to support existing clients and bring in new ones.

"For prospective clients, we show them a report on their desired candidate pool to win their business. For existing clients, we help them understand when they have unrealistic expectations, whether it's location, diversity, or something else. We can show them if they won't have success finding talent based on their current requirements, but if they make certain adjustments based on the market, they can find what they're looking for."

With a seamless workflow that spans market research, sourcing, and engagement, the IQTalent recruiting function has strengthened recruiting efficiency.

"Our team can send outreach to candidates the same day they do intakes with hireEZ because it's so efficient. So far, we've reduced the time it takes us to send candidates to clients by 25%, and we anticipate becoming even more efficient over time."

"Our approach is client, candidate, and colleague-centric. We care deeply about all three. Once we shared our foundations with Riad El Hout, our hireEZ CSM, he trained us on the most relevant features for our team. There was no extraneous information. Everything was relevant to what we were doing.
