Case Study: Mainstream Energy achieves 36-hour faster screenings and hires 350 employees without adding HR headcount with Sterling

Mainstream Energy - Customer Case Study

Mainstream Energy, a San Luis Obispo–based solar installer rapidly expanding nationwide (including winning the Costco contract), needed to hire quality candidates quickly across dozens of regional markets without adding HR headcount. To scale responsibly, Mainstream Energy turned to Sterling and Oracle Taleo Business Edition Cloud Service to outsource applicant tracking, background screening and drug/physical testing.

Using Sterling’s integrated solution with Oracle Taleo, Mainstream Energy consolidated and automated disparate manual systems, eliminated paper processes, and reduced costs. The implementation cut screening turnaround time by 36 hours, enabled hiring of more than 350 employees in one year to meet project deadlines, and met aggressive hiring quotas and timelines without expanding HR staff.
