Overview

Scaling a digital hiring experience under new leadership

A leading on-demand workforce solutions firm faced increasing challenges in scaling its digital hiring experience. As competitors embraced digital-first models, job seekers and employers found the company's manual, multi-step process cumbersome.

With new leadership focused on innovation, the firm partnered with HatchWorks to modernize its product strategy, UX, and technology, resulting in a streamlined, scalable hiring platform that improved efficiency for both job seekers and employers.

The Challenge

In-person paperwork in an industry where speed is everything

The firm was struggling to keep pace with digital-first competitors. Its platform required multiple steps for job seekers to apply, often involving in-person paperwork, creating friction and delays in an industry where speed is critical. For employers, finding reliable, high-quality talent quickly was becoming more difficult due to those inefficiencies.

With new leadership in place and declining revenues, the firm needed to modernize its service model, create a strong product discipline, and implement UX-focused enhancements to improve the candidate and employer experience.

The new digital platform improved speed, accessibility, and automation, allowing job seekers to apply and start work faster than ever before. HatchWorks continues to provide ongoing product leadership to help the firm scale its internal product team.
