Case Study: Plexus achieves scalable, time- and cost-saving campus recruiting with Yello

How Plexus leveraged automation and marketing tools to increase their presence on campus while eliminating hours of manual work and travel costs

Plexus, a global electronics design and manufacturing firm with more than 19,000 employees, needed to hire nearly 150 interns and entry‑level candidates from 20+ U.S. campuses but a lean recruiting team was overwhelmed by manual processes—scanning over 4,200 paper resumes (about 2 minutes each) and coordinating interviews in spreadsheets. To scale campus outreach and reduce administrative burden, Plexus turned to Yello and its automated, mobile‑friendly event check‑in, interview scheduling, candidate engagement tools, and Workday integration.

Yello deployed mobile check‑in and evaluation, templated interview scheduling with automated email/text confirmations, digitized resumes, targeted pre‑registration campaigns, and an ATS integration with Workday. The result: recruiter time to move a student from career fair to offer fell from more than 18 hours to about 30 minutes, Plexus eliminated roughly 17.5 days of resume‑scanning work per season, expanded its candidate pool through pre‑marketing, and is projecting roughly $67,000–$70,000 in seasonal savings while gaining centralized hiring and compliance visibility.
