Brandon House Hotel & Solas Croi Spa witnessed a profound transformation in their recruitment process after adopting Occupop. Their time-to-hire and time-to-source were slashed by an impressive 50%, significantly reducing the tedious waiting periods. Hiring managers were able to review candidates twice as fast, and interview no-show rates were cut in half, creating a more efficient and reliable process. The heart of this change lay in the software's automation, centralizing all recruitment data and candidate profiles in one convenient hub. This not only eliminated redundant data entry but also resulted in substantial cost savings, as high as €280 per newspaper advert each month. The collaboration between departments was also streamlined, involving departmental managers early in the process, contributing to Brandon House's remarkable success story. As Pauline Howlin, their HR Manager, aptly puts it,

"The reduction in time and costs in the hiring process is fantastic."

Occupop allowed them to achieve these incredible results and significantly cut their recruitment marketing costs.
