Deep Release: Bernard Hodes Group's Smartpost
Streamlines Toyota Financial Services' Recruiting
Improving HR Metrics Quickly Realized By Client
Bernard Hodes Group, a fully integrated talent solutions provider and a market leader for over 30 years, announced today that its customer, Toyota Financial Services, a leading provider of automotive financial services, has significantly improved the use of their recruiter resources and maximized the use of the Web for recruiting by using SmartPost. SmartPost helps recruiters target online sources for their specific hiring needs, and analyzes the results of online job marketing to more effectively recruit in the future.
By adding SmartPost's automatic functionality Toyota Financial Services not only saved as much as five days in the delivery of jobs, they also realized a significant increase in applicant response. Plus, the cost-per-apply attempt was reduced to $4.50 per applicant shortly after implementing SmartPost technology. In addition, Toyota Financial Services was able to synchronize all their open positions on a daily basis, making the information available to recruiters so they could easily match openings with SmartPost suggested niche sites for posting. The enhanced process significantly improved time needed to post jobs which creates more time to recruit candidates.
"SmartPost offered a customizable source effectiveness measurement tool that has afforded Toyota Financial Services the convenience of seamlessly posting and unposting all of our jobs in "real time" and measuring the related job seeker activity. As a result, we are able to make "smart" decisions about where to invest our sourcing time and energy. I give SmartPost two thumbs up!" said LaTasha Folk, Sourcing Consultant, Toyota Financial Services.
"Toyota Financial Services needed hard data to make intelligent recruiting decisions. Some of the questions they asked included which job boards should they invest in, and were their current job descriptions and titles targeting and getting a response from the right audience. SmartPost provides solutions and delivers business intelligence to allow recruiters to do their jobs more effectively," said Carmen Doherty, director of SmartPost, Bernard Hodes Group.
