The Challenge
One of the largest public homebuilders in the country, with a team of 5 internal recruiters, was experiencing a void in their recruiting department as one employee was on maternity leave. This builder had a large requisition load and demanding hiring managers, as the industry’s business cycle was beginning to pick up again. Additionally, they had just structured a new region from a corporate acquisition and new market entry. The recruiting department was measured on a number of metrics including Days-to-Fill (DTF) and Customer Satisfaction, as reported by the hiring managers they supported. Being resource-constrained, the Director of Talent Acquisition knew his team’s performance metric levels would be signficantly impacted. After shifting personnel around to accomodate the changing business landscape, he was left with no recruiting support in their newest region in the Southeast.
The Solution
With a referral from another Fortune 500 Builder, the deparment consulted with TalentWoo on a short-term solution to their challenge: an experienced, contract resource who would step in and maintain business continuity. The TalentWoo recruiter was assigned to the new region, which not only had a void in recruiting coverage but also had newly hired management. This meant that all of the requisitions were for “New Headcount” with “New Employee Managers” to support. The experienced TalentWoo resource was based in the eastern time zone, and able to quickly and effectively build relationships with new managers to align with their increasing headcount needs, which included sales, construction, administrative, and leadership roles.
