Objective

Whizhack partnered with Redrob to tackle their technical hiring challenges. They faced difficulty in sourcing highly skilled candidates for their niche technical job opening, managing the recruitment process efficiently, and finding a platform that provided both quality and quantity in candidate options. Redrob's comprehensive services and advanced ATS were key in addressing these issues, streamlining Whizhack's hiring process, and ensuring they found the right talent for their technical roles.

Challenges

Whizhack faced several significant challenges in their recruitment process. They struggled to identify suitable candidates for their specialized roles in cybersecurity, a niche field that demands specific skill sets. The inability to find the right candidates led to prolonged vacancies and impacted project timelines.

Additionally, with only a single person handling HR responsibilities, managing the recruitment process manually became overwhelming and inefficient. The reliance on manual processes for sourcing, screening, and shortlisting candidates resulted in delays and reduced overall productivity. This bottleneck not only strained their HR resources but also affected their ability to onboard talented professionals swiftly.

Strategy

To overcome these challenges, Redrob implemented a comprehensive strategy tailored to Whizhack's needs. Through an automated Applicant Tracking System (ATS), Redrob streamlined the recruitment process, significantly reducing the manual workload on Whizhack’s HR team. This automation allowed the HR team to focus more on strategic tasks rather than getting bogged down with administrative duties.

Additionally, Redrob’s advanced assessment tests chosen from a library of 3500+ customizable tests allowed the company to accurately evaluate candidates' technical skills and their fit for specialized cybersecurity roles. The integrated platform for job postings, candidate sourcing, and resume parsing ensured a smooth and efficient hiring process, transforming Whizhack’s recruitment approach into a more effective and seamless operation.

In all, the company was able to find the best candidates for their niche technical requirements while also getting an opportunity to automate their manual workload. Resultantly, the company saved time and advanced its hiring process while meeting its end goal of technical hiring.
