Integrated planning & analytics built on a transformed CRM — with recruiting designed around the candidate.
Customer story · Recruiting transformation
A 40-person team competing for top analytics talent against much larger firms — and winning on candidate experience.
ForecastEra’s integrated planning & analytics approach connects sales, finance, and operations to maximize ROI on customer investments. Their modern planning framework — built on a transformed CRM — is designed to capture the inputs needed for accurate financial and operational planning.
Recruiting was the next discipline to receive the same data-and-experience treatment. ForecastEra needed to identify and attract top, hard-to-get talent; build a talent pool for future hiring; deliver a digital candidate experience as polished as the analytics product itself; and reduce the cost of hiring and dependence on job boards.
The latest recruiting technology — in the recruiters’ and candidates’ hands.
SuccessFactors Recruiting deployed with consumer-grade UX, compliance built in, and the analytics ForecastEra knew how to use.
