How did a growing non-profit expand their recruiting reach and visibility?

The Situation

As a growing not-for-profit organization aimed at serving those who are in need, Lutheran Social Ministries (LSM) found that their recruiting agencies were repeatedly presenting them with the same candidates. In order to continue their positive work in providing healthcare, affordable housing, and disaster relief, LSM wanted to tap into new talent pools, but they didn’t want to be burdened by the lengthy process of interviewing, vetting, and negotiating contracts with new recruiting agencies. Krista Jacobs, Vice President of Human Resources at LSM, sought to expand the Lutheran Social Ministries brand into these untapped markets of candidates, but had neither the time nor the capacity on her talent acquisition team to do so.

The Solution

Time - Krista did not have the time to interview and contract with perspective recruiting agencies. RecruitiFi gave her access to pre-vetted, pre-screened recruiters who understood the types of candidates LSM was looking for, saving her months of work.

New Talent Pools - Lutheran was used to receiving the same candidates from the recruiting agencies. RecruitiFi’s community of expert recruiters was able to introduce Krista to untapped talent pools, as well as effectively double (+96%) the amount of quality candidate submissions she received.

Employment Branding - “Lutheran’s employer brand is always growing, and RecruitiFi was able to expedite that growth by reaching new recruiters and candidates who were unfamiliar with the brand.

Consolidation - Prior to using RecruitiFi, Krista managed her agency contracts and handled recruiter communication through a variety of mediums. RecruitiFi consolidated her contracts and her communication with recruiters to a single platform, eliminating inefficiencies and improving her time management.

Ease of Use - "The RecruitiFi platform is so easy to use and implement," Krista says, “and the account management team is extremely helpful whenever I have a question.”

In Their own words

“RecruitiFi has been the most helpful recruiting platform I’ve encountered. The importance of reaching new candidates in untouched markets cannot be overstated, and I am delighted with the submissions we’ve seen.”
