MED-CARE Diabetic & Medical Supplies Improves Time-to-Hire by 60 Days

In this week’s Glassdoor product demo, we asked employers about their recruiting strategy for 2014. The poll question: “What’s the #1 Metric You’re Trying to Improve This Year?” The answer: More than 52% said “Time-to-hire” is the metric they are looking to improve. Despite being one of the most frequently used, time-to-hire is one of the more poorly understood metrics in recruiting. The amount of time it takes to make a quality hire from start to finish can have a direct impact on spend and ROI of your recruitment program. MED-CARE Diabetic & Medical Supplies is a company focused on improving time-to-hire. Its steps to achieve this involved attracting a wider, qualified pool of applicants, while also increasing its employer brand awareness in South Florida. So what is MED-CARE? This leading medical/pharmacy supply company offers convenient ways for individuals covered by Medicare and private insurance to receive the highest quality supplies delivered directly to their home. A year before partnering with Glassdoor, MED-CARE’s recruitment and employer branding strategy was 100% word-of-mouth. In order to increase brand awareness and attract the best quality candidates, they shifted their strategy to include Glassdoor Job Ads and an Enhanced Profile. The Job Ads allowed MED-CARE to:

• Target individuals in a specific age range in key metro locations across the U.S.
• Increase visibility and get in front of qualified job seekers
• Drive increased traffic to their Enhanced Profile

The Enhanced Profile allowed MED-CARE to:

• Feature recent news, like its partnership with the Dallas Mavericks
• Find more professional applications and candidates with the right background
• Filter interviewers by education level to make sure they were qualified
• Gain access to reporting to measure its success against competitors
• Expand brand awareness

MED-CARE reduced its average hiring time from 90 days to 30 days, a 3X faster time-to-hire. This company story is a pretty miraculous example of how promoting your employer brand to candidates researching you and advertising your jobs to ideal candidates can increase qualified resumes and decrease your workload.
