From Requisition to Recruitment: Digitizing Talent Acquisition on ServiceNow with INRY Talent
In today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, state public health departments stand at the forefront of protecting community well-being. A state's Department of Health's mission of safeguarding and improving residents' health requires exceptional talent to address increasingly complex public health challenges.
However, the Department faced a significant obstacle: outdated recruitment processes couldn't keep pace with their expanding responsibilities. Recruiting top talent had become unnecessarily complicated, with hiring managers struggling to navigate through scattered spreadsheets and coordinate with multiple stakeholders via endless email chains. This fragmented approach slowed hiring and risked losing qualified candidates to more agile organizations.
A Call for Change
The customer realized that to continue delivering on their mission effectively, they needed to modernize their approach to talent acquisition. They needed a solution that would streamline the hiring process, strengthen candidate engagement, and allow them to manage positions with ease and clarity. More importantly, they needed a partner who understood their challenges:
- Recruiters working in silos without visibility into the broader hiring pipeline
- Paper applications and email-based processes lead to delays and errors
- No centralized system for tracking positions or managing candidate relationships
- Lack of visibility into application status for both candidates and HR
- Negative impact on candidate experience
The customer's search for a transformation partner led them to INRY, a decision driven by strategic considerations. With a requirement for rapid implementation on their existing ServiceNow platform, INRY's pre-built talent acquisition solution emerged as the ideal choice. INRY Talent, built on ServiceNow, offered the perfect blend of functionality and flexibility. This meant the customer could quickly configure the application to their specific needs rather than building a solution from scratch – significantly reducing time to value.
