Case Study: Florida Hospital achieves faster, streamlined hiring and major time savings with SkillSurvey Reference (integrated into Oracle Taleo)

Streamlining the hiring process by integrating SkillSurvey Reference and Taleo Talent Acquisition Cloud

Florida Hospital, a large faith-based not-for-profit system with 26 hospitals and over 32,000 employees, faced inefficiencies in a hybrid recruiting model that required multiple handoffs and separate logins across Oracle Taleo, SkillSurvey Reference and Source, assessment tools and video interviewing. Having used SkillSurvey since 2009, the hospital set out to streamline hiring by reducing system fragmentation and simplifying recruiter workflows.

Florida Hospital integrated SkillSurvey Reference with Oracle Taleo (alongside Talent Plus and HireVue) in a project completed in under four weeks with SkillSurvey professional services, enabling recruiters to complete most hiring tasks from a single ATS. The change cut logins and handoffs, put reference reports directly in Taleo, and delivered measurable gains: an 85% reference response rate (about 4.5 references per candidate in under 48 hours), over 90,000 candidates processed through SkillSurvey Reference, and more than 2,100 passive referrals converted to candidates—resulting in substantial time savings and faster hiring.
