Case study: Companies utilising Direct Hire recruitment software reap massive ROI, benefits

Johannesburg, 04 Feb 2015

MCI Consultants, the largest distributor of staffing software in southern Africa, today announced it has recently completed research for a case study showing how beneficial the implementation and use of its Direct Hire recruitment software system has been for organisations utilising the online tool.

"Our research shows that 64% of all new hires were sourced directly through our clients' careers Web sites that are powered by Direct Hire," commented Rhett Davies, a Business Partner at MCI Consultants. "And this percentage continues to grow. In addition, clients have indicated to MCI that the number of direct applications that come through the company's Direct Hire careers page is on par with popular job portals; and that their time to hire and total recruitment times have been reduced by as much as 47% and 52% respectively. This has resulted in a substantial return on investment."

"We have not only seen the benefits of this move in monetary terms, but in our ability to quickly and effectively fill the vacancies that we have," explained one of Direct Hire's clients. "For instance, the automation of many of the administrative processes of our HR staff has given them more time to focus on other tasks; Direct Hire has given greater exposure of our vacancies to passive candidates; and thus, the use of this software has fulfilled all the promises associated with it. As a result, our overall recruitment process and experience has improved tremendously and not only for us, but also for our potential employees and recruitment agencies we deal with. Suffice it to say Direct Hire has been instrumental in assisting us to build and maintain our strong employer brand."

Direct Hire is a powerful, versatile and easy to use e-recruitment solution for medium-sized and large organisations, which has been specifically designed and developed by MCI Consultants to automate the requisition-to-hire process.
