A role that used to sit open for a month now fills in nine days.
A 20-person surety agency in Mesa cut hiring time in half and saw 230% more qualified applicants in the first week, without adding a single person to the hiring team.
Whoever posted the job was the applicant tracking system.
Bonding Solutions is a surety agency in Mesa, Arizona, and after twenty-nine years in business, hiring velocity is a real part of client service. They leaned on premium postings across a handful of job boards, and hiring was reactive: it started when the pressure was already on.
With no dedicated HR role, an applicant tracking system had never seriously come up. Keeping candidates organized fell to whoever happened to post the job, which meant no shared notes, no scorecards and no way for two people to look at the same candidate.
“Managing candidates was chaotic. Organizing applicants relied on whoever posted the job. There was zero collaboration, structure or consistency.”
Bonding SolutionsLoaded the job description, clicked once, and candidates showed up that day.
The leadership team put their roles on AvaHR and stopped buying premium slots one board at a time. One publish reaches every board that matters, applicants land in a single pipeline, and screening filters out the people who were never a fit before anybody spends time on them.
The part that changed how the team works is the shared record. Notes, scorecards and messages all sit on the candidate, so prospecting, interviewing and communicating scaled without anybody being added to the hiring team.
“The software just works. We loaded in our job description, one click, and candidates appeared that same day.”
Bonding SolutionsHalf the hiring time, and a third of what a posting used to cost.
Hiring time is down fifty percent, and a critical role that historically took more than thirty days to fill now closes in nine. Posting a job costs seventy-eight percent less than sponsoring the same role on the boards, and it produces more applicants rather than fewer.
Quality moved with volume. In the first seven days on the platform the number of qualified applicants was up 230 percent, and because screening happens before anybody opens a résumé, the team spends its time on the shortlist instead of building one.
“AvaHR completely changed our hiring process. From attracting quality candidates to streamlining communication and tracking, it made everything faster, simpler and more effective. It is the perfect tool for a small business like ours.”
