Huron Customer Story

Huron Consulting Group is a management consulting firm specializing in transforming organizations in the healthcare, life sciences, commercial, and higher education industries. They believe in diversity of thought and challenging the status quo to drive meaningful change for their clients and the communities they serve.

As a strategic partner to businesses worldwide, Huron’s teams need to be knowledgeable and confident about the technological innovations that will ensure their clients can seize every growth opportunity possible in the digital-first economy.

Huron needs to provide up-to-date technology solutions and strategies to their clients; this requires continuous access to technology professionals with emerging skill sets. However, Huron’s internal recruiting teams and HR were not equipped to handle the volume of tech hires required or target talent pools with the technical proficiency needed. This stemmed from a lack of internal recruitment technology, reporting, or employer brand, all of which limited the capability of their recruitment processes.

They needed an RPO partner who could assess their needs and design a technology and employer-brand-focused strategy to source and recruit the required volume of technology hires.

Pierpoint deployed an on-site team to review their current workforce planning strategies, processes, tech stack, and current recruitment marketing to identify areas to improve. Upon a detailed investigation, Pierpoint established an optimized recruitment process that had sufficient technology and candidate tracking systems in place to enable full reporting.

With a sound recruitment foundation to work with, Pierpoint then proceeded to target local networking opportunities to drive Huron’s employer brand and support their branded recruitment marketing campaigns via social media and other digital channels.

By laying the foundations for tracking, reporting, and improving their talent acquisition process through a full recruitment technology implementation, Pierpoint was able to accurately monitor the success of our candidate outreach campaigns and source, attract, and recruit the right volume of technology professionals for Huron’s portfolio of tech roles.

Their custom reporting package continues to generate real-time data Huron can use to measure the impact of their employer brand in attracting and engaging innovative professionals for a sustainable talent pipeline that will support them for years to come.
