Case Study: Kelly Services finds jobs for nearly one million people faster with Microsoft Power BI

Kelly Services - Customer Case Study

Kelly Services, a global staffing firm with 8,100 employees that places nearly one million people annually, faced the challenge of speeding candidate sourcing, improving global collaboration, and securing critical communications across a distributed workforce. To address this, Kelly adopted cloud offerings from Microsoft Power BI as part of the Office 365 suite — including Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, Office Delve, Skype for Business and Delve Analytics — to give recruiters instant access to documents, people, and analytics wherever they work.

Using Microsoft Power BI’s Office 365 capabilities, Kelly consolidated file shares, dramatically reduced email attachments, improved version control, and secured executive email with Exchange Online Advanced Threat Protection, while enabling real‑time collaboration through Skype for Business. The result: recruiters can fill some jobs in minutes versus days, IT overhead and management complexity have decreased, replacing thousands of hardware phone systems will save tens of thousands of dollars, and employee productivity and responsiveness to clients have significantly improved.
