Case Study: Oxfam America achieves streamlined, paperless global hiring with Jobvite Hire

With Jobvite, Oxfam America Hires Quality Talent to Put a Stop to Poverty

Oxfam America, a global non-profit with over 500 staff across multiple countries, faced a paper-heavy, email-based hiring process that left recruiters overloaded and hiring managers without visibility. Disconnected regional workflows, a niche talent market and tight recruiting budgets made it difficult to scale consistent, timely hiring for international humanitarian roles.

Oxfam implemented Jobvite Hire as a paperless, accessible platform with electronic approvals and referral management, rolling it out across its offices to unify the candidate workflow. The change empowered hiring managers, improved visibility and organization of applicants, and delivered measurable benefits—streamlined internal processes, a consistent global hiring experience, faster time-to-hire and lower cost-per-hire while maintaining higher-quality, mission-aligned candidates.
