Case Study: Ness Technologies achieves a four-fold increase in recruiting productivity with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

How to Quadruple Your Recruiting Productivity Tips from Ness Technologies

Ness Technologies, led by Pruthvi Nanjappa, VP of HR for Ness India, faced an inefficient recruiting process where mass outreach yielded few qualified hires and hiring managers spent excessive time on sourcing. In a competitive market they needed a way to attract better candidates faster, improve quality of hire, and make recruiting a higher‑value function.

Ness implemented a three‑part strategy: build targeted talent pools by telling the employer story on social platforms, source beyond resumes through engagement in groups and professional communities, and assess fit and potential using profile signals (certifications, community participation, publications, recommendations). The result: a four‑fold increase in recruiting productivity (now reviewing ~25 meaningful candidates to hire one, instead of hundreds), a 500% rise in their LinkedIn Talent Brand Index, and measurable gains in recruiting efficiency and business impact.
