Manufacturer Automates Hiring Processes and Cuts Cost-Per-Hire by Up to 65%

See how Zund America gained visibility across the hiring process, empowered HR and managers to work together more effectively and enhanced the candidate experience with modern tools.

Zund America, the North American branch of Swiss cutting systems manufacturer Zünd Systemtechnik AG, used to handle recruiting manually. Posting jobs, tracking resumes and scheduling interviews were all done separately with no automation, making it hard for recruiters, hiring managers and candidates to stay on the same page.

The team began using isolved Talent Acquisition, formerly ApplicantPro, in 2022 to streamline the recruiting process, reduce manual workload and improve collaboration across hiring teams.

Since implementing isolved's applicant tracking system, Zund America has:

  • Reduced cost-per-hire by an average of 50 to 65% 
  • Decreased time spent on recruiting tasks by 50%
  • Improved time to hire, from job offer to acceptance, by 42%
  • Simplified interview scheduling with SMS communication
  • Attracted better candidates through optimized job posting
  • Centralized hiring data for better communication and tracking

"Moving from manual to automated operations for recruitment marketing has saved us a significant amount of money while making our outreach more strategic on career sites," said April Forray, HR director at Zund America.
