Case Study: SBA Communications achieves faster hiring and $2M cost savings with SkillSurvey

A wireless infrastructure leader attracts talent using new digital recruiting technologies

SBA Communications, a leading independent owner and operator of wireless infrastructure across North, Central and South America, faced rapidly accelerating hiring needs as mobile usage surged. The company hires a wide range of field and corporate roles, and legacy recruiting processes couldn’t scale to meet volume or provide consistent, data-driven insight into candidates.

To solve this, SBA adopted digital recruiting tools—talent analytics, texting and social-media sourcing, and SkillSurvey Reference™ online reference checks—to streamline workflows and capture richer data. The changes let the team track recruiting metrics, shorten time-to-fill to 30 days or less, cut third-party spend by $2 million, reduce cost-per-hire below national averages, and convert references into a productive candidate pipeline.
