Case Study: Jefferson Center for Mental Health achieves 50% faster time-to-fill and cuts cost-per-hire with iCIMS

Rising Healthcare Organization Builds Sourcing Strategy with iCIMS

Jefferson Center for Mental Health is a nonprofit community mental health provider serving Colorado since 1958. With a small HR team and an outdated ATS, recruiters struggled to capture and engage passive candidates, relied on manual Excel lists and one-off emails, and faced long, inefficient hiring cycles that made recruiting a reactive administrative task.

By adopting iCIMS Recruit and Connect—implemented in three weeks—Jefferson Center centralized sourcing, automated outreach, used social distribution and event management, and tracked hiring metrics in real time. The result: time-to-fill fell from ~120 days to 50–60 days, average cost-per-hire dropped to just over $2,000 (well below the national average), advertising costs declined, and 93% of new hires reported a positive candidate experience.
