Case Study: Groupon achieves faster, more organized hiring in China with Trakstar Hire

How Trakstar Hire Helped Groupon Expand in China

Groupon’s China recruiting team faced a rapid-hiring challenge as it opened multiple offices across different cities and had to manage a high volume of applications, resumes, and interview coordination. Its existing enterprise HR software and manual email-based process were too cumbersome for smaller distributed teams, making it hard to collaborate, organize candidate feedback, and keep up with hiring needs.

To fix this, Groupon implemented Recruiterbox, now Trakstar Hire, using it to create job openings, upload and auto-forward resumes, assign hiring stages, and share feedback in one platform. The result was a much faster, more organized recruiting workflow that let the team manage nearly 500 interviews per week and replace spreadsheets with a simpler applicant tracking process.
