Case Study: Florida Presbyterian Homes Cuts Staff Turnover in Half with symplr Hiring

Florida Presbyterian Homes Cut Staff Turnover by Half Using symplr Hiring

Florida Presbyterian Homes, a nonprofit continuing care retirement community in Lakeland, Florida, was struggling with a cumbersome paper-based hiring and onboarding process. As a small organization with an HR department of one, it was difficult to manage applications, walk-in candidates, and employee paperwork efficiently, especially with limited advertising reach and inconsistent applicant quality.

To solve this, Florida Presbyterian Homes implemented symplr Hiring and symplr Assessments to digitize recruiting, streamline onboarding, and improve candidate evaluation. With symplr, jobs were posted online, applications flowed into a dashboard, and interview guides helped standardize hiring decisions. The results were significant: the solution went live within one month, and employee turnover fell from 29% to 15%, helping the organization hire higher-quality candidates and reduce turnover by half.
