Abercrombie & Fitch tailors candidate outreach.
SUCCESS STORY
Without a single global view of candidate touchpoints, the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Talent Acquisition Team not only spent a lot of time collecting candidate data but also frequently found themselves reaching out to the same candidates. With LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect, candidate data can be viewed in one workflow, so recruiters can avoid overlap and cut down on research time.
THE CHALLENGE
Disconnected systems waste time
With candidate data spread across multiple platforms, A&F Talent Acquisition Team member Jared Best regularly spent valuable time between systems collecting data on candidates. Disconnected systems meant Best and the other recruiters operated in silos, frequently dealing with gaps in candidate history that often caused overlap on candidate outreach.
THE SOLUTION
A comprehensive view of candidate data
For quick and easy access to complete, accurate, and up-to-date candidate information, the A&F team activated LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect. Now data in both LinkedIn Recruiter and their applicant tracking system, SmartRecruiters, is available in a single, robust view, which helps avoid overlap in outreach. Connected systems not only save Best and the team time on candidate research, but with the full recruitment history of a prospect in hand—as well as up-to-date employment status—recruiters can personalize messaging to create a more positive candidate experience with the brand.
