IBM Drives Standardization Across Business Units

In today’s challenging economy, now more than ever, strategic recruiting must adapt to the business cycle. There are fewer requisitions and more candidates clamoring to fill them. And in large global organizations, there are competing challenges as well - multiple ERP systems; regional applicant tracking systems; organizational complexity driven by M&A, divestitures and legal compliance. In times like these, many companies simply trim headcount and hope to wait out the storm. IBM sees this as a time to transform talent management for business, clients, and the world.
Taleo helped IBM drive standardization across business units, bringing together recruiting operations that were once disparate and non-standardized.

  • IBM completed approximately 6,500 hires for the insurance provider in 2008
  • Time-to-fill was 48 days across the entire organization
  • 91% requisition fill rate for recruiters
  • Hiring manager satisfaction rates averaged 92% in 2008
