The challenge
Like many campus recruiting operations, Alter Domus North America had a lean team with big goals. With a team of two dedicated employees, they needed to make 150 hires in a year, including both full-time hires and doubling the size of their internship program. At the same time, Alter Domus was competing against big-name brands with significant on-campus presence, so Brendan needed to optimize his lean team's output and maximize the impact of their event strategy and sourcing efforts.
The solution
Alter Domus adopted RippleMatch to supercharge their early-career hiring strategy. Rather than emailing passive candidates who may not be interested, RippleMatch connects the team with qualified, interested candidates from across the country, growing their funnel of great-fit applicants at a lower cost than expanding their campus presence. The team also used the Events platform to run in-person and virtual events with less manual work and better follow-up, and centralized their entire applicant funnel — including candidates from Handshake, LinkedIn and the Alter Domus careers page — into one place to review, advance and respond to every applicant.
The results
Alter Domus hit their North America Campus Program targets, hiring 150 people and doubling their internship program with a lean team. They hosted 61 hiring events through RippleMatch, drawing over 1,000 attendees, and saved 1,068 hours — 132 business days — during their busiest hiring season.
