Case Study: Rycon Construction achieves streamlined hiring and $70K/year reporting time savings with BambooHR

How Rycon Construction uses BambooHR to efficiently find, onboard, and manage top talent in a competitive market, streamlining the hiring process and reducing manual paperwork

Rycon Construction, a Pittsburgh-based builder founded in 1989 and now an ESOP company with over 900 employees and $6.5B in revenue, faced rapid growth and operational strain: archaic, paper-based onboarding and HR processes, multi-location compliance needs, a competitive market for skilled labor, and limited performance documentation as the company scaled (126% growth in five years). HR struggled with time-consuming reporting and inconsistent new-hire experiences across states.

By adopting BambooHR’s Onboarding, Performance Management, and Reporting, Rycon automated e-signatures and pre-boarding, deployed location-specific packet workflows, used ATS visibility to proactively engage candidates, and standardised performance assessments and custom reporting. The result: roughly $70K a year saved in reporting time, smoother onboarding of about 30 new hires per month, stronger performance documentation and engagement insights, and the ability to scale efficiently from ~420 employees in 2019 to 953 in 2024.
