As they entered hyper-growth mode in 2021, their recruiting ops team was feeling the growing pains from a slow manual interview scheduling process and interviewer shortages.
What it was like…
The small Recruiting Ops team of 5 was supporting anywhere from 35-40 recruiters and sourcers, 270 hiring managers and scheduling hundreds of interviews a month across different time zones in hyper growth mode.
- Multiple tools were needed to schedule a single interview
Switching between tools was leaving a big margin for human error + lack of accurate interview scheduling metric
- Inefficient means to manage and track interviewer training
The team was facing an interviewer shortage and was running up against interviewer bandwith due to heavy interviewing volume.
- Manual processes were creating a bottleneck
The inability to schedule interviews quickly was beginning to impact their candidate experience and time to hire.
How we helped
- Their entire recruiting coordination workflow was streamlined
Automation provided streamlined coordination across their entire workforce in global time zones and removed the need to switch between 5-6 other tools to schedule one interview.
- No more manual scheduling
“ModernLoop’s scheduling algorithm has been so impactful. ModernLoop will use candidate and interviewer availability, along with interviewer load, to find multiple potential schedules for us.”
- Interviewer shortage was solved by integrating interviewer training
“Interview training is now part of the interview scheduling process for our Recruiting Coordinators, rather than an extra step, which has increased our interviewer pool substantially.”
- Easy onboarding for every new recruiting ops hire into the ModernLoop tool
“When new Recruiting Coordinators join the team, they are onboarded onto ModernLoop during their first week. Much of the learning comes from trying the product themselves & every Recruiting Coordinator due to the intuitive nature of ModernLoop, has onboarded into the tool in less than a week!”
Where they are now
Since implementing ModernLoop, Brex saw a 2x increase in coordination efficiency! By utilizing ModernLoop in the midst of hyper-growth, Brex was able to double the efficiency of their recruiting coordinators. One recruiting coordinator that used to support just 4 recruiters can now support up to 8.
Their once overwhelming scheduling volume is now a breeze. As manual roadblocks were removed, Brex’s efficiency across the board increased, too. They saw over 50% headcount growth as a result and drastically reduce their time to schedule.
