Defenders Direct - Customer Case Study

Defender Direct needed to scale hiring quickly and reliably to support business growth, focusing on finding the right candidates across multiple roles and 31 cities. They faced the challenge of improving candidate matching and accelerating time-to-hire while leveraging social networks and employee referrals.

By integrating EmployeeReferrals.com with their SilkRoad OpenHire ATS, Defender Direct used sophisticated matching and social referral tools to surface better candidates. The program delivers 85 hires per month with an average time-to-hire of 13 days (45% of hires in 1–9 days), generates about 1,379 social impressions daily, and produced high referral volume for key roles (Inside Sales: 96; Application Developer: 46; Sales Technician: 35).
