About The Customer

Inflection is a firm that helps people build trusted connections on the internet. They are the stewards of personal data for many customers, making their recruitment process particularly critical. The company recruits for a broad range of roles, from engineering to business development to data analytics. Marielle Smith, who leads recruiting at Inflection, has been an Entelo customer since 2012. She has experienced great results in building lasting relationships with candidates using the platform. Smith continues to choose Entelo for her needs, despite performing due diligence by looking at different recruiting technologies.

The Challenge

Inflection, a firm that helps people build trusted connections on the internet, was facing several challenges in their recruitment process. They had a strong desire to dramatically boost their pipeline of quality candidates. The business imperative was to quickly hire candidates with specific skillsets, without sacrificing the quality of the hires. They also needed an easy-to-use recruiting platform that could be used effectively by non-recruiters. The company was particularly struggling to find strong candidates for a hard-to-fill security application engineer role. The role was critical for the company, as they are the stewards of personal data for many customers.

The Solution

Inflection turned to Entelo, a recruiting platform, to address their challenges. Using Entelo, the company was able to increase their overall candidate pool by over 60%. They also boosted the pipeline of candidates who respond to a campaign or other outreach by 30%. The platform's Send-on-Behalfof feature proved particularly effective in getting responses for the hard-to-fill security application engineer role. Entelo also provided rich, actionable data on candidates, including personal email addresses, Github repository information, and personal interests. This data was very powerful in assessing candidates for fit and in doing personalized outreach. The platform was also intuitive and easy to use, allowing hiring managers to quickly ramp up and participate in the sourcing process.

Operational Impact

The use of Entelo has not only improved Inflection's quantitative recruitment metrics but also brought about significant qualitative benefits. The platform has saved the company a significant amount of time and cost in the recruitment process. Smith likens Entelo to having an army of researchers who compile rich, actionable data on her behalf, something that would otherwise take her away from more strategic activities. The platform's intuitive UI has also made it easy for hiring managers to get involved in the sourcing process. This has allowed for a more collaborative approach to sourcing, helping the company find the best fit for their teams.
