Case Study: Allen Recruitment Consulting boosts revenue 20% and doubles placements with InsightSquared

InsightSquared Helps Allen Recruitment Work Less, Earn More

Allen Recruitment, a Dublin-based agency specializing in IT roles, was facing a puzzling problem: recruiters were working long hours but not getting the results expected. Management found they lacked real-time pipeline visibility, struggled to prioritize work, and had to train junior staff to act with the judgment of experienced recruiters — all of which left performance and forecasting unclear.

By adopting InsightSquared, Allen gained live pipeline data and actionable reports that let recruiters prioritize responsive clients and focus on roles they can actually fill. The tool empowered junior staff to make smarter decisions, improved client management and forecasting, and delivered clear business impact: billing rose about 20% and placements increased substantially (one comparison showed twice as many placements) while the team made fewer calls.
