Case Study: Pactiv achieves 90% reduction in agency spend and 25% faster time-to-fill with Jobvite Hire

With Jobvite Hire, Pactiv Continues to Expand Thoughtfully, While Saving Time and Money

Pactiv, a leading foodservice and disposable packaging manufacturer with over 11,500 employees, faced a fragmented recruiting process in 2013 driven by an outdated ATS, lengthy time-to-fill (around 90–120 days), heavy reliance on agencies (peaking at ~$1.4M), and no social media recruiting capabilities. These challenges created friction between recruiters and hiring managers and limited the company’s ability to scale hiring efficiently.

By implementing Jobvite Hire — a centralized ATS with an integrated social media publisher and robust reporting — Pactiv streamlined workflows, increased hiring manager engagement, and enabled data-driven improvements. The result: time-to-fill improved by about 25% (to ~65–70 days), agency spend dropped to $140K (a 90% reduction), social recruiting replies rose 45–55%, and overall collaboration and candidate quality materially improved.
