Case Study: Large Healthcare Company achieves 15% turnover rate and $1.3M savings with Deltek Talent Acquisition

Deltek Talent Acquisition improves recruiting efficiencies for healthcare client

A large not-for-profit health system serving more than 1 million people annually and employing over 16,000 staff needed to hire three entry-level clinical roles at one facility. Facing more than 40,000 applicants per quarter (~300 per day), the client required an automated prescreening process that enforced JCAHO standards, included knock‑in/knock‑out questions, and routed only qualified candidates to skill assessments and the application process.

Deltek customized its Talent Acquisition solution to automatically attach mandatory screening questionnaires to the three job codes, enable automated knock‑out questions and applicant communications, and upload test scores in real time to applicant records and requisitions. The workflow eliminated manual score tracking, produced a more targeted talent pool, and cut turnover for these roles from over 50% to 15%, with more than $1.3 million saved for each 25% reduction in turnover and plans to extend the approach to additional job codes.
