Software Company Leverages 360 Talent During Downtime

situation

CodeScience, a Salesforce software company, was facing a challenge in that their sole recruiter had resigned. They found that during slow periods of hiring, their internal recruiter was not being fully utilized and was not a cost-effective replacement. The company wanted to find a solution that would allow them to efficiently manage their hiring needs while also reducing costs during slower periods.

To address this challenge, CodeScience decided to engage 360 Talent, a managed recruiting service provider, on an “as needed” basis. This would allow them to leverage external expertise and resources only when necessary, saving costs during periods of low hiring activity. However, they needed guidance on how to effectively implement and manage this new approach to recruiting.
