Overwhelmed by manual screening and repeated turnover, they partnered with Hiredesigners to streamline hiring. By tapping into a curated pool of pre-vetted talent, they reduced their hiring time by 50%, saved over ₹5.5 lakhs annually, and onboarded top-tier designers who were both creatively and culturally aligned—all without upfront investment or operational friction.
Client Challenge: A leading design firm was struggling with the inefficiencies of traditional hiring. The company invested significant time and money in sourcing candidates, posting job listings across multiple platforms, and engaging recruitment agencies to attract the right talent. Their internal HR team was overwhelmed with reviewing hundreds of applications, many of which did not meet their specific needs. The extensive screening and interview process took weeks, often leading to project delays and lost business opportunities.
Additionally, the firm faced a high turnover rate due to mismatched skill sets and cultural misalignment, requiring them to restart the hiring process repeatedly. The costs associated with job advertising, recruiter fees, and resource allocation for interviews were escalating, putting pressure on budgets. These inefficiencies not only drained financial resources but also diverted leadership focus from core business activities.
