Case Study: Electro Scientific Industries achieves streamlined global talent management and faster hiring with Dayforce

Electro Scientific Industries puts a laser focus on its people

Electro Scientific Industries (ESI) is a 75-year‑old global leader in precision, laser‑based manufacturing for the consumer electronics supply chain. After reorganizing its management team and globalizing operations — with 60% of its 650 employees spread across 10 countries — ESI found its legacy, paper‑based talent processes were slowing hiring, onboarding and performance reviews and no longer matched the company’s modern culture and growth goals.

ESI implemented Ceridian Dayforce Talent Management to digitize recruiting, onboarding and performance cycles. The company saved 1.5 hours per hire and 45 minutes per offer, reduced performance‑review prep from months to a one‑week configuration and a six‑week completion window, eliminated paper workflows, enabled mobile manager access and continuous feedback, and gained real‑time reporting — helping boost engagement and business performance.
