Fortune 500 IT staffing recruitment is won by the first to submit. BCforward wasn’t losing out on quality talent. BCforward was losing out on speed. The candidate pipelines were in spreadsheets and email threads, resume screening consumed hours recruiters didn’t have, and before the candidate was even ready to be submitted, BCforward's competition had them beat.
The Breaking Point
BCforward is a global workforce solutions company that provides services to Fortune 500 companies in the technology, healthcare, financial services, and life sciences sectors. They have 150+ recruiters based across the US and India.
There were three main problems plaguing the team at BCforward:
- A lack of visibility within their recruiters and across geographies
- A manual screening process turning minutes into hours
- Growing compliance risk with duplicates and inconsistent sourcing
Why Ceipal Outperformed Others in the Selection Process
BCforward compared Ceipal vs Bullhorn and Erecruit via demoing and piloting solutions, and decided in favor of Ceipal due to the better VMS integration, AI matching, and competitive pricing aimed at mid-sized staffing organizations.
What Changed After the Switch
- 60% fewer manual sourcing efforts due to AI matching of top fit candidates prior to external sourcing.
- 30% faster time-to-submit thanks to automation of workflows and seamless VMS integration (Fieldglass, Beeline, IQNavigator).
- 25% more hires per recruiter achieved without increasing the team size.
- 20% improvement of submission-to-interview rate due to better matching.
A Partner, Not Just a Platform
As far as I'm concerned, Ceipal has become fundamental to our ability to scale up the recruiting capacity proportionally to headcount. Ceipal integrations, AI matching, and candidate database became a solution to our operational pain points," says Raj Inuganty, Director of Delivery at BCforward Technologies.
The Bigger Picture
BCforward sees Ceipal as a long-term strategic partner, and the relationship is expanding. The team is actively evaluating Ceipal's workforce management and onboarding modules, while exploring advanced analytics for leadership dashboards. As BCforward grows into new geographies and client accounts, Ceipal scales alongside them.
