Case Study: Walser Automotive achieves 2x faster hiring and higher-quality applicants with Hireology's Applicant Engine

Walser Automotive - Customer Case Study

Walser Automotive Group, a 50+ year pioneer in the auto industry with more than 20 rooftops and 150+ open roles, struggled to consistently find quality candidates for sales and fixed‑ops positions; one‑off job boards weren’t delivering the volume or fit they needed. After partnering with Hireology in 2016 to centralize hiring, Walser sought a more efficient, scalable way to source quality applicants and improve time to hire.

Walser piloted Hireology’s Applicant Engine — a programmatic, learning sourcing tool built into their ATS — which centralizes channel analytics, automates applicant flow, and focuses spend on high‑performing sources. The result: 34% of Applicant Engine applicants were flagged as quality (ready for interview), an average time to hire of 32 days (more than 2x faster than the retail auto average), reduced sourcing costs, and more time for recruiters to work with candidates and hiring managers.
