Case Study: AutomationDirect achieves double candidate submissions with Cornerstone OnDemand

Doubling Candidate Submissions Via Configurable Career Pages & Social Recruiting

AutomationDirect, a leading distributor of industrial automation products and a top mid-size employer in Atlanta, faced a difficult hiring environment: many specialized engineering roles were hard to fill and their previous ATS was unreliable, lacked social sharing, and created a poor candidate experience.

By implementing Cornerstone’s configurable recruiting and learning platform, AutomationDirect built targeted, branded career pages, enabled social recruiting and employee referrals, and automated onboarding and training. The result: candidate submissions more than doubled, prescreening time dropped through knockout questions, source tracking and hiring visibility improved, managers get in-product guidance, and referrals — especially from Facebook — increased significantly.
