Case Study: University of Texas Rio Grande Valley automates hiring processes with PeopleAdmin

University of Texas Rio Grande Valley cuts posting creation from 45 minutes to 10 with PeopleAdmin

The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) faced a significant challenge when merging two universities into one new institution, requiring the hiring of 2,500 faculty and staff positions in a short timeframe. Their existing paper-based and inefficient digital processes were inadequate for this massive undertaking. UTRGV turned to PeopleAdmin's Applicant Tracking System to automate and manage this complex hiring process.

By implementing PeopleAdmin's ATS, UTRGV automated its hiring workflows, including job postings, salary reviews, hiring proposals, and offer letters. The solution drastically reduced the time to create a job posting from 45 minutes to just 10 minutes compared to a competing system, enabling the HR team to efficiently manage the high-volume hiring during the merger. PeopleAdmin provided measurable cost savings by eliminating paper and ink expenses and delivered critical functionality like veteran hiring preferences, leading to UTRGV being recognized with the Lex Frieden Employment Award for its hiring practices.
