About The Customer
Terminal is a San Francisco-based company that provides services and infrastructure to help businesses build world-class remote engineering teams quickly. The company, founded in 2016, has built over 30 remote teams and has hired more than 350 engineers across Canada, the United States, and Latin America. Terminal's mission is to hire, develop, and retain talent by creating communities that take the guesswork out of remote and help startups thrive. The company has over 200 employees and is known for delivering high-quality hires 38% faster than the industry standard.
The Challenge
Terminal, a tech-enabled remote teams engine, was facing several challenges in its recruitment process. The company had no solution for email follow-ups when reaching out to potential candidates, which was a significant issue as it was missing out on potential talent. The recruitment team felt they had to sacrifice either speed or personalization in their outreach, a dilemma that was affecting the quality of their candidate pool. Additionally, Terminal lacked a database to save candidates that had already been vetted, leading to inefficiencies in the recruitment process. These challenges were hindering Terminal's ability to quickly and effectively recruit top talent for its remote teams.
The Solution
Terminal adopted Gem, a recruitment automation tool, to address its recruitment challenges. Gem allowed the team to set up automated email sequences, increasing response rates by 10%. The tool also enabled recruiters to send emails in bulk while personalizing each one, eliminating the need to sacrifice speed for quality. Furthermore, Gem provided a platform for recruiters to save vetted talent and source directly from the tool for each new requirement, significantly speeding up the hiring process. The Global Director of Talent Acquisition, Kerri McKinney, also initiated weekly trainings to ensure the team had a solid understanding of how to use Gem and its features. The team also started testing a fourth follow-up email to be sent four-to-six months after the third, as part of their long-term relationship building strategy.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
