“It's a no brainer, especially at that price point! It makes total sense - we're basically running all of our hires with Talentpair now and we like the fact that you can turn it on and off as needed.“
The Highlights:
- How Prodigy Health overcame hiring bottlenecks without overpaying for external services.
- Why Talentpair delivers faster placements, lower cost-per-hire, and higher satisfaction for both candidates and hiring managers.
- How Talentpair blends AI with human expertise to take care of the heavy-lifting and unblock hiring teams.
In a market crowded with under-baked AI offerings, misaligned agency incentives, hollow job postings, and a saturation of talent, finding a partner who can bring it all together is not an easy feat. This problem is only amplified when it comes to higher level positions such as Senior Managers, Directors or VPs, that most of the time require a very specific background and skill set.
Prodigy Health, a leading distributor for specialty pharmaceuticals, faced this challenge head-on. Their quest for top-tier talent led them to Talentpair, revolutionizing their recruitment process – resulting in the hire of high-performing leaders, while keeping costs low and saving hiring managers hundreds of hours.
The Problem
When Prodigy Health hit an inflection point in their growth trajectory, Chief Finance Officer Jeff Morris and the team realized that the company required additional higher level personnel that could run and set the strategic vision for various departments within the organization. Jeff and the team had a very clear idea who they needed for each role and reached out on LinkedIn directly to people that had the right background and profile. However, this approach was not only incredibly time-consuming, but the team often only received a handful of responses. On top of that it was challenging for the hiring teams to take care of managing the recruiting process in addition to their day to day activities, which meant that resumes often didn’t get looked at for a few days resulting in a sub-optimal candidate experience and slow overall progress.
So the team decided it was time to look at external recruiting agencies that could lead the charge. However, finding the right candidates still proved to be a difficult undertaking. Even though the team gave recruiters very specific details about who they were looking for – even sending potential LinkedIn profiles over to them, candidates that were put forward never truly aligned with the core requirements given. In addition to this, recruiters often seemed to prioritize quantity over quality, meaning that the team still had to review dozens of resumes, only to find that none of them was a good match.
The Solution
Determined to overcome this hurdle, Ty spoke to Dustin Colter, Co-founder at Talentpair and learned more about the platform’s unique approach to recruitment – which is built on human expertise and supercharged by AI.
In simple terms, Talentpair does all the heavy-lifting in terms of finding and screening candidates, so by the time a resume hits the hiring manager’s desk all key criterias have already gone through a thorough vetting process. While the speed at which the platform operates is due to the powerful AI tools which only surface candidates that have a match of at least 80%, Talentpair further pre-screens and verifies each applicant before putting them in front of the hiring managers – essentially eliminating the need for the first screening interview which is typically where the bottleneck happens. But this is not all – each of the following key ingredients are what make the product so successful.
Talentpair’s Secret Sauce:
- Industry-leading Expertise: Talentpair is an expert in every field of work and has a successful track record and extensive knowledge in finding top talent. Each candidate is hand-picked and pre-vetted by Talentpair having decades of experience and we are able to quickly assess if a candidate is the right fit for the role.
- Expansive Network: Talentpair has access to a network of over 1 million connections, and a pool of over 80,000 active candidates. This allows recruiters to leverage existing relationships and vet candidates prior to putting them forward to the hiring manager.
- The Power of AI: The speed at which Talentpair is able to find the right candidate is powered by the best-in-class AI algorithms built inside the platform. From the beginning Talentpair has been trained on over 5B proprietary hiring data points. Allowing Talentpair to match highly suitable candidates with jobs in minutes.
- Flexible, pay-for-what-you-use approach: Not only are you able to select from different payment plans that are built for your specific needs, you can also turn off the plan completely on a monthly basis. Plus you can try out the platform at no risk, since you only pay a low placement fee if you make your first hire with Talentpair.
- Built-in Process Management: Talentpair’s software doesn’t require any training and is not only intuitive to use, but also guides everyone on the hiring team seamlessly through the process. Notifications ensure tasks are completed in a timely manner and scheduling is made easy within the platform.
- Enhanced Candidate Experience: Talentpair’s user-friendly interface and personalized approach elevates the candidate experience, reinforcing the employer brand and attracting top talent. Candidates enjoy a seamless application process and timely communication, fostering positive impressions and presenting each employer in the best light.
“Talentpair got us several candidates right away that fit the profile of what we needed, real industry specific people - that was the game changer. And the portal collated all the important information and kept us organized with detailed notes, reminders and the team chat.”
The Result
With Talentpair’s AI-powered platform, Prodigy Health experienced a paradigm shift in their recruitment strategy, allowing the team to hire top candidates with precision, unmatched quality and speed. And the cherry on top – at a great price.
“It’s not 20% of someone's salary, which is a lot when you’re hiring directors. Paying a flat placement fee and small subscription rate works - because I can turn it on and off according to our needs and it takes a lot less time to hire overall.“
Prodigy Health’s partnership with Talentpair allowed the team to successfully fill key positions in record time with top industry talent that hit the ground running and brought valuable expertise and skills to the organization. And all of that at the fraction of the costs that a typical recruitment agency would charge.
