Some ATS problems are loud. Systems crash, data disappears, recruiters walk out.
The problem at Ambition 24 Hours was quieter and, honestly, more frustrating. The platform worked. It just worked badly and expensively. Every capability the team actually needed, automation, reporting, and VMS integrations, lived behind a separate add-on fee. The bill kept climbing. The bottlenecks didn't move. And at some point, the team realized they were paying more every quarter for a platform that was still getting in their way.Â
The Breaking Point
Ambition 24 Hours provides travel nurses, per diem clinicians, allied health professionals, and direct hires across the country. The recruiting team of ten works tirelessly, aiming to make 50 to 80 placements each month, but their pace makes no room for technology that resists.
There were three issues that prevented Ambition from reaching its full potential:
- A solution that did the minimum and priced all the extras
- Too much work behind the scenes is taking recruiters' time away from placements
- A scalability barrier is making it harder than it should be for a team like theirs to reach its goals
The net result? Recruiters weren’t spending time working with candidates; they were wasting it on administration. Platform costs were rising faster than platform value. Workarounds were becoming a necessity.
Why Ceipal Won the Evaluation
The leadership team had a mandate when they came to Ceipal: look for a solution that does what is expected without charging extra for every little bit.
Ceipal delivered on all fronts. From VMS integration to workflow automation, job board connections, and compliance monitoring, everything is bundled in the package. There is no need for any add-ons here. Nor are there any stitching of solutions required to get a basic recruitment process up and running.
What Changed After the Switch
30% boost in recruiter productivity: Automation eliminated the inefficiencies in the handoff process, which consumed recruiter bandwidth. More requisitions are managed, faster candidate progressions are achieved, and recruiters can stay focused on placements.
50% increase in applications received: By using Ceipal’s job board and VMS integration, a lot more candidates were brought into the system without increasing headcount or spending more money on sourcing efforts.
25% decrease in overall ATS spend: Ceipal consolidated the various add-on products into one single platform.‍
A Partner, Not Just a Platform ‍
What Ambition 24 Hours will tell you sets Ceipal apart isn't just the feature set; it's the team behind it. Whenever a gap has been identified or an improvement opportunity spotted, Ceipal's support team has responded. Not with a ticket number and a waiting period, but with actual solutionsÂ
As Filipe Teixeira, Vice President at Ambition 24 Hours, puts it:
"Ceipal is a flexible, efficient platform backed by a team that truly listens to its clients. They follow through on their commitments and continually work to improve the experience. For any healthcare staffing leader looking for a comprehensive and responsive ATS solution, Ceipal is well worth considering."
The Bigger PictureÂ
Ambition 24 Hours isn't done. With continued growth in the size of the team and the number of placements, Ceipal is designed to grow with them, offering everything they need, including automation, integrations, and support infrastructure. However, what they’ve already accomplished means much more than most teams know until they’ve operated without it. No add-on debt. A recruiting operation that runs at the speed the healthcare staffing market actually demands.
