Candidate Experience

Cameron Pickett (00:04):
We at Pacific Seafood hire 500 plus individuals on a seasonal basis just due to the different species of seafood that we're processing. With that we have to do large scale, high volume hiring. The prior 10 years to my arrival, they had only a single recruiter, which made things very difficult. They had never successfully been able to staff their full seasonal hiring needs Prior to the season starting and with Paradox, we utilized the hiring event platform. We had first month about a 300% increase in applicant activity. Where it's been very beneficial is it not only helps people RSVP and sign up for our events, but it's reminding them the day before, the day of, an hour before. So we get a much higher turnout rate, whether it be virtual in person, it's easy to engage with simple answers, their questions outside of just scheduling themselves for an interview.

(00:53):
For those that don't turn out, it automatically sends us all those names via report in the system, and then we follow up with those folks and schedule interviews after the facts, the chat and the text to apply features result in a lot of time savings for our recruiting team where they could actually provide much more of a human touch, interacting with people, engaging, improving our interview process, which ultimately improved our hiring upfront, which on the backend reduces turnover. And for us, again, we were able to, for the first time in our company's history, successfully fill all of the seasonal seafood processor roles prior to the season start date. So it was a huge, huge win.

I am really proud to say that we were one of the first to sign up to Paradox events in July, 2020. We held our first virtual job fair. A lot of my colleagues experienced no-show problems, so what we did was we created a different type of event, still using the paradox technology. So we were able to do that really drastically cut our no-show rate more than half. It was faster, quicker, easy, and it really got us all done and less costly for us as an employer as well.
