Exceeding Hiring Goals at Landscapes By Terra
Heather was tired of managing her recruiting efforts in spreadsheets. As the Marketing and Recruiting Manager, she wanted a dashboard that could give her instant visibility to her full hiring pipeline so she could respond to new applicants faster. She also wanted to reduce her spending on job boards and find a solution that integrated with her website and other job boards.
Team Engine helped Heather diversify her applicant sources to drive down her recruiting spend and exceed hiring goals. Even better, she was able to use Team Engine's employee text messaging platform to enhance company culture and strengthen relationships between field workers and office personnel.

Hire More People, With Less Time & Money
With Team Engine's hiring dashboard, Heather got the visibility she needed to stay on top of communications with engaged applicants across all sources and respond to them faster.
Heather was elated to find incredible time savings with Team Engine's smart filters (to identify job-hoppers and those without required licenses) and intelligent hiring assistant, which automates pre-screening questions to deliver more qualified candidates.
Heather & her team also experienced a higher response rate when they stopped calling and started texting candidates through Team Engine's automated texting platform.
Easy-To-Use Tools Empower Collaborative Hiring
Team Engine's software has allowed Heather's hiring managers to review resumes and decide who to call for interviews, rather than relying on HR to pre-screen and hand off qualified candidates.
With a quick look at the dashboard, Heather can see how candidates are progressing through the pipeline without having to micro-manage the process herself.

Identify Employees Interested in Advancement
When she needed to hire more production managers, instead of just making an external job posting, Heather used Team Engine to send a short survey to employees asking if anyone was interested in becoming a production manager. To her surprise, two employees responded that they were interested, and are now actively being mentored to move into those roles.

Employee Referral Automation
Employees receive text message reminders from Heather about sending in referrals, then they submit their referral's contact information digitally. From there, Team Engine automatically reaches out to start the conversation and tracks the entire process all the way to incentive payout for the referring employee.
Employee & Applicant Text Messaging
Heather says texting has "completely changed the game" when it comes to recruiting and hiring. Her ideal demographic doesn't want to talk on the phone, and often can't because they're already out in the field with machinery running in the background. But they can always respond to a text.
Smart Filters & Automations
Team Engine's smart filters automatically weed out job-hoppers, applicants without required licenses, and other customizable prerequisites. The software then starts the conversation with applicants within minutes or hours of applying and asks clarifying questions about things like experience and commute time.
