Case Study: Bluebeam Software, Inc. achieves faster hires and major cost savings with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Bluebeam Software - Customer Case Study

Bluebeam Software, a Pasadena-based developer of PDF solutions for architecture, engineering and construction firms, faced a critical hiring bottleneck: two mission‑critical roles—a channel sales manager and a multi‑platform software developer—required niche technical skills and cultural fit. Traditional job boards flooded Tracy Heverly, HR and Program Manager, with unqualified applicants and staffing firms failed to fill the developer after roughly nine months, leaving the company unable to move product development and sales forward.

Bluebeam adopted LinkedIn Talent Solutions (Recruiter and Job Slots) to target active and passive candidates through the LinkedIn Jobs Network. Within six weeks they filled the channel sales manager in three weeks and the developer three weeks later (who lived five minutes from the office), recouped their initial investment with one hire, saved roughly $10–15k versus staffing firms, eliminated an unneeded job board, and freed HR to focus on higher‑value priorities.
