Case Study: American Biotechnology Company achieves tens of millions in operating expense reclassification and 20% recruiting cost savings with Visier

Monthly Workforce Planning Process Pays Off by Supporting Talent Strategy with Cost Reductions

An American biotechnology company faced the challenge of keeping the right talent in the right place at the right cost to support its scientific and research priorities. Leaders needed an accurate, efficient workforce-planning approach that aligned HR and Finance and could respond quickly to changing headcount and business initiatives.

The Talent Acquisition analytics team built a Total Talent Solution—a monthly, data-driven workforce planning process powered by Visier and fed into Hyperion—to produce predictive scorecards and align stakeholders. The process identified an extra 380 headcount early, created a single source of truth, reclassified tens of millions of dollars in operating expenses, and cut the recruiting budget by 20%, freeing funds to revamp TA branding and generate further downstream savings.
