Case Study: Nutanix achieves 2x university recruiting response and 70% email open rates with Eightfold

Nutanix University Recruiting New Hiring Engine

Nutanix’s university recruiting team needed a new sourcing strategy to scale hiring across more schools and compete with well-known consumer brands for top candidates. Their legacy approach relied on spreadsheets and couldn’t keep candidates engaged or organized, so Nutanix turned to Eightfold and its Talent Intelligence Platform to centralize candidate data and provide a more consistent, white‑glove outreach experience.

Eightfold integrated with Nutanix’s ATS, consolidated data within 30 days, and enabled predictive email nurturing and highly targeted, diversity-focused campaigns. The result: Eightfold became the team’s “source of truth,” drove email open rates as high as 70%, doubled response rates versus legacy tools, and improved the company’s ability to nurture diverse candidate pipelines.
