Challenge:
|
With 22,000 employees across 16 states, AutoNation must manage a large volume of candidates across a geographically dispersed area. Adding to the complexity, each of their 239 locations has slightly unique functional needs during the recruiting process. Despite their individual nuances, each group must work cohesively, organizing a large volume of information—from job requisitions to online postings, resumes, screening results, and more. Plus, they need to find the best talent and hire them quickly to ensure they maintain a leading, customer-oriented team. AutoNation needs organized, scalable applicant tracking and rapid screening services that help them identify the best talent and hire them quickly.

AutoNation uses Abso Talent EditionTM and integrated screening services.

|
|
|
Challenge:
|
24 Hour Fitness struggled with a lengthy employee screening process. After closer evaluation of their processes, 24 Hour Fitness wanted to find a company who could improve the following four areas:
- Turnaround time: background screenings took 5 to 7 days to complete
- Background reports: background reports did not match what their candidates disclosed on their application
- Customer service: questions took weeks to be answered
- Compliance: it took a lot of time and resources to internally manage compliance for the screening process
|
|
Solution:
|
After evaluating 50 screening companies who all claimed to be fast, secure, compliant, and reliable, 24 Hour Fitness selected Abso as their screening provider because of their knowledge of the industry, innovative technology, and their unique customer service program.
|
|
Result:
|
Abso provided 24 Hour Fitness with the tools they needed to meet their demanding growth objectives. After 18 months of using Abso’s Screening Edition™, 24 Hour Fitness reported the following improvements:

|
|
|
Challenge:
|
PRIDE Industries had a decision to make. They had an applicant tracking software system—but the team avoided using it. It was too cumbersome and didn’t meet their needs for Equal Opportunity Employment reporting. PRIDE needed a solution that was simple yet functional. Could they quickly find another solution that was worth the effort to switch?
|
|
Solution:
|
PRIDE selected Abso® Talent Edition™ to manage their hiring process.
|
|
Result:
|
PRIDE was looking for a system that streamlined hiring administration but they found a provider who delivered personal customer service that equaled the quality of their technology. With Talent Edition, the PRIDE team can find information more readily, move more quickly through the hiring process, and create better reports. Centralized applicant files are making it easier to retrieve and share applicant fi les and prepare for audits. Plus, PRIDE receives the personal assistance they need, when they need it.
