Case Study: Coffee Circle achieves 50% lower hiring costs with Join

Coffee Circle cuts hiring budget by 50% with Join

Coffee Circle, a Berlin-based direct-trade coffee company, faced challenges with its recruitment process as it scaled to 70 employees. Their existing HR system lacked robust multiposting capabilities, forcing manual work to publish roles across multiple job boards. This led to difficulty tracking which channels produced qualified candidates, resulting in a low application conversion rate and inefficient use of their hiring budget. They turned to the vendor Join.com for a solution.

By integrating the Join applicant tracking system with their Personio HR setup, Coffee Circle automated job posting across nine free boards and their preferred paid channels. This provided clear visibility into which sources delivered the best candidates. The solution from Join.com yielded significant results: a 50% reduction in hiring budget, a 40% increase in application conversion rate, and a 40% decrease in time-to-hire, allowing the company to reinvest savings into its core mission.
