How Unicon Pharma Cut ATS Costs by 20% and Onboarded 45+ Recruiters in 30 Days with Ceipal
In Life Sciences recruitment, speed and visibility aren't nice-to-haves; they're the difference between winning and losing a placement. For Unicon Pharma, its existing ATS was quietly becoming the bottleneck.
A Specialized Operation Running on the Wrong Platform
With 45+ recruiters managing high-volume Life Sciences requirements across a 90,000+ candidate network, Unicon Pharma needed a platform that could keep pace. JobDiva's slow response times, poor ticket management, limited pipeline visibility, and rising costs made the case for change undeniable.
30 Days. 45+ Recruiters. Zero Disruption.
After evaluating JobDiva, Workday, iCIMS, and Bullhorn, Unicon Pharma chose Ceipal. With onsite training delivered by the Ceipal team, the entire recruitment organization was fully migrated and operational in one month.
The results spoke for themselves:
- 15–20% reduction in ATS platform costs
- 20% improvement in recruiter productivity
- Full pipeline visibility across all 45 recruiters
- Seamless VMS integrations with Fieldglass, Wand, Dialpad, and Outlook
The Cost-Visibility Equation Solved
As Vinodh Kumar, Director of Recruitment Operations at Unicon Pharma, described it: "Ceipal has given us stronger visibility into our recruitment operations while operating on a more cost-effective platform. The improved responsiveness and structured tracking have helped our team of 45 recruiters work more efficiently and stay aligned."
That's the operational leverage a purpose-built ATS can deliver, cost savings and performance visibility, delivered together.
