Transforming Recruitment Efficiency: How Rutledge Group Streamlined Hiring with a Branded Mobile App
The implementation of the Branded Candidate App has transformed Rutledge Group business. Candidates can now apply for roles, update their availability, submit timesheets, and communicate seamlessly with recruiters—all from their mobile devices.
The faster onboarding process has significantly reduced admin time, allowing recruiters to focus on placing more candidates efficiently. With improved communication, real-time updates, and a fully digital workflow, Rutledge has streamlined their recruitment operations, making the process more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly for both candidates and staff.
The Challenge
Rutledge Group faced several hurdles in their recruitment process:
- A low conversion rate from job views to applications, impacting candidate acquisition.
- Recruiters were bogged down with shift management, with limited visibility into real-time candidate availability.
- A sluggish timesheet workflow was delaying approvals and impacting business performance.
- Keeping track of communications and activities across 17 locations while upholding their core values of integrity, respect, and excellence.
The Solution
Rutledge Group recognised the need for a branded, mobile-first approach to recruitment. With the help of Mobile Rocket, they launched a tailored Branded Candidate App to centralise and optimise their recruitment operations.
The app revolutionised key recruitment processes by enabling candidates to view and apply for jobs seamlessly, update their shift availability in real-time, and submit digital timesheets for quicker approvals and timely payments. Integrated communication features such as chat, email, and push notifications ensure that candidates stay informed throughout the recruitment journey. Additionally, the branded app is available on both Android and Apple, making it easily accessible to candidates anywhere, anytime.
“Beyond excited to see the positives our Branded Candidate App, powered by Rocket Recruitment, will bring to the team. This is critical to streamlining all of our onboarding and compliance workflows. Many thanks to Mobile Rocket for all your assistance with this and dealing with my 1,000,000 questions”
