Staffing & Recruitment/Talent Solutions (multi-brand network serving manufacturing, distribution, beauty/health, IT, finance, and leadership roles)
$105M-$140M
Bullhorn ATS/CRM + siloed payroll/finance tools + manual spreadsheets + third-party job boards
800+ employees/mid-market (nationwide network)
25 offices with coast-to-coast reach across 48 states, 1.4M+ pre-vetted talent pool, thousands of clients, high-volume temporary-to-permanent placements, and end-to-end talent acquisition for SMB and enterprise clients
Bullhorn ATS/CRM is outdated and is creating slow candidate matching, manual recruiter workflows, data silos across our 25+ brands, and delays in client reporting, resulting in missed placements and inflated administrative costs.
In a hyper-competitive talent market with volatile client demand and rising labor costs, real-time visibility and intelligent matching became non-negotiable for maintaining high fill rates, client retention, and 30%+ gross margins while scaling our nationwide network.
