The digital transformation turned Red.
The largest specialist SAP recruiter in the world has improved its candidate shortlists, and save up to 50% of non-productive consultant time, after investing in Mercury software
RED, which has 250 employees in eight offices across the globe, implemented Mercury throughout the entire business during an eight-month rollout, as part of a move to innovate its entire IT infrastructure. This includes migrating to Office 365 and investing in other parts of the Microsoft Power Platform.
Mercury was the next logical step. They needed to improve how they dealt with social connections, job boards, and search engines; some of the emerging trends in modern recruitment. They were largely on-premise, so needed to modernise their internal IT in order to be as competitive as possible.
“We quickly identified Mercury as the stand-out product for recruitment. The fact it is built upon Microsoft Dynamics CRM means that it is a perfect fit for our business from top to bottom, and integrates seamlessly with our other business software”
"A key strategic goal for RED was to become on-premise free, which meant that Mercury’s cloud deployment was ideal. Not only has it saved the costs associated with maintaining on-site servers, but it also delivers updates through the cloud, meaning that RED is always on the latest version, integrated seamlessly with its Office 365 systems."
Mercury understands the needs of the modern recruiter and has helped Red work smarter when it comes to its recruitment processes.
“We previously used to work from a combination of data sources held within a recruitment database, and data held in spreadsheets, which created extra administration work. With Mercury, we now have one single view of all our data, and most significantly to a sales-focused business, we save up to 30% on administration time, or even as much as 50% after a period of time.”
The software also integrates with SharePoint and RED’s document management system, providing the company with one single view of data, significantly reducing the time the company spends on administration.
Mercury’s mobile capabilities also stood out for RED during the selection process. With many consultants out of the office visiting clients and candidates, they need the ability to access candidate lists on the move, which Mercury provides. This, together with the software’s contact portal and self-serve compliance functionality, enables Red to create even better candidate shortlists, source candidates more quickly, offer enhanced service quality and stay ahead of market demand.
For more than 20 years, RED has helped more than 1,500 companies across 80 countries throughout the world achieve success with SAP software. This has been accomplished through the delivery of the right expertise in the right place at the right time. Whether it is staffing SAP projects, managing global roll-out programs or building a Customer Center of Expertise organization, RED facilitates the intelligent, dependable and strategic matching of clients with more than 300,000 skilled professionals.
