The talent acquisition landscape thrives on healthy competition, as multiple recruitment platforms attempt to streamline the hiring process for employers and guide candidates toward their dream jobs. While some platforms rely on a generic, one-size-fits-all approach, others create new ground by delivering specialized, personalized experiences that put the customer front and center.

Enter iHire, an innovative, industry-specific hiring solutions provider. With a dedicated customer success team and over two decades of experience in recruitment marketing, it brings a human touch to the talent acquisition software space, bridging the widening gap between employers and candidates in today’s tight labor market.

To help companies discover qualified talent, iHire assigns a customer success manager to guide them through their unique recruitment challenges and ensure a seamless hiring process—from recommending the right solutions to helping them optimize their job ads. In addition, iHire provides an HR Services and Consulting practice through which clients can receive customized support from HR experts, whether that means managing their entire recruitment process, serving on-call, or assisting with a one-off project, like an HR audit.

“We empower employers to find careerfocused candidates quickly and efficiently so they can maintain a competitive advantage and drive growth for their organization,” says Steve Flook, President and CEO of iHire.

According to iHire’s 2023 Hiring & Job Search Outlook Report, 74.1 percent of businesses are concerned about struggling to recruit qualified candidates due to nationwide talent shortages and a tight labor market. But because the candidates that come to iHire are career-driven and committed to growing professionally in a certain sector, employers are more likely to find the right hire through one of its 57 industry-specific talent communities. Plus, iHire’s advanced job matching algorithm connects employers with candidates based on over 9,600 skills and career titles for maximum talent acquisition precision.

By focusing on quality of candidates over quantity, iHire reduces the time employers spend reviewing irrelevant applications and expedites engagement with top-tier talent. For example, iHire recently helped a healthcare provider hire a Director of Perioperative Services. This highly specialized position was unfilled for over 18 months, and the customer received an applicant—and its eventual hire—within 48 hours of posting the job on iHire.

Among iHire’s time-saving solutions is its intuitive Job Ad Builder, which helps users craft compelling job posts in five minutes. Additionally, iHire’s Job Wrap allows employers to automatically post multiple jobs through XML feeds, ATS integrations, or career site URLs. At the same time, iHire simplifies the candidate management process by equipping recruiters with tools for organizing, tracking, and messaging applicants directly through its platform.

iHire’s platform also supports candidates having a positive experience with the employers they are seeking to work for. For example, its messaging tools and templates allow employers to communicate quickly with candidates to let them know of their application statuses and build relationships during the recruitment process. In fact, iHire rewards employers who pledge to communicate with applicants, keep their application processes short, and embrace fair hiring practices. Those employers are designated as iHire Choice Employers and receive additional exposure for their jobs.

iHire’s personalized approach extends to the job seeker side of each of its 57 talent communities. Candidates can work with certified career advisors and expert resume writers to improve their chances of landing a new job. They can also apply to jobs with the confidence that the opportunities they see are legitimate, as iHire’s Content team curates and verifies jobs from over 30,000 online sources as well as promotes jobs posted directly by employers.

Moving forward, iHire aims to continue its evolution beyond an industry-specific recruitment platform. For instance, the company has been expanding its education and training solutions to assist customers in upskilling or reskilling employees, preparing students for their job search, or advancing their own careers.

Moreover, iHire underwent a rebrand this past fall, unveiling a new logo, refreshed visual identity, and optimized user experience on its platform. The new branding better reflects its growth and ongoing commitment to connect and advance the workforce of the future.
