Case Study: DataSift achieves 66% faster hires and seamless social candidate communication with Jobvite Hire

With Jobvite Hire, DataSift Harnesses Social Power to Promote Seamless Candidate Communication

DataSift, a social data platform serving 1,000+ customers in 40+ countries, excelled at external social communication but struggled with fragmented recruiting in 2012. Without a formal ATS, its global hiring was inconsistent and slow—candidate communication was unclear, internal coordination across offices was poor, and the company wasn’t leveraging employee networks to broaden reach.

By implementing Jobvite Hire with social media and job-board integration and an organized, accessible ATS, DataSift centralized workflows, automated job publishing, and gave hiring managers clear approval and task tools. The result was a transparent, candidate-centric process, stronger employer branding and employee referrals, and a 66% reduction in time-to-hire (from 75 to 50 days, with instances as fast as 7 days); the team hired 20 people in Q1 2014 and was on track for significant further growth.
