Case Study:

New ATS Brings in Flood of Applications for City of Arvada

"Before we had HRsmart's ATS, we had a totally manual paper process that could no longer accommodate our growth." - Lisa Raber, Employment Specialist and Recruiter

In 2006, the City of Arvada kept attracting more and more visitors, prompting the need for more employees in a variety of different business sectors. Trying to keep track of the increasing number of open positions and the flood of applications coming in daily, a paper process could no longer accommodate their needs. They were losing applications and resumes before they even reached the hiring managers. They had no visibility into how long it was taking to fill positions, how many applications they were receiving, and more importantly how successful the hire was after they had filled a position.

Within HRsmart’s ATS, they were able to mimic their current processes, creating completely different workflows for external applicants, internal applicants, and even volunteers. The City of Arvada now has been able to:

Track and report on incoming resumes and applications

Increase communication between recruiters and hiring managers

Drastically reduce their time to fill a requisition
