The Challenge: Recruitment freeze
Recruiting was taking too much time while the company was required to meet the growing needs of the business. Meritech found that when recruiting, finding the right skill sets is challenging. They had the right job, but not the right source to find what they needed.
Recruiting for Meritech was time-consuming, from creating job descriptions to reviewing hundreds of applications to interviewing to selection. The ineffectiveness to hire employees was holding back on Meritech’s projects and reaching the perfection the company aimed for. It was creating an imbalance in the vision of their goals of making a seamless transition of the right skill sets with the right candidate. The company identified obstacles that challenged them for recruitment. The obstacles ranged from lack of time to finding analytical job-ready candidates.
