When global medtech and healthcare giant, Johnson & Johnson needed to reduce time-to-hire rates and increase agility in their hiring processes, they turned to the leading tech-enabled talent outsourcing company AMS for help. AMS’s deep understanding of talent-tech optimization coupled with dedicated talent consulting experts had already reduced time-to-hire rates by c.25% for a global pharma peer, making them the ideal partner for success with Johnson & Johnson. This session explored the main challenges faced by Johnson & Johnson in addressing their hiring needs and revealed three surprising ways AMS’s technology solutions changed the game.
Learning Objectives:
1) Tech AND touch is the key to maximizing applications: It’s well known that application completions are a challenge in the high-volume space. AMS combined the right tech approach AND the human touch delivering a 99% completion rate.
2) Faster really does mean better: J&J previously adopted a manual process at in-person events to hire. AMS enabled tech, which is now used at events to deliver a faster process and achieve a 96% NPS score.
3) Scalable options attract leadership support: when tech options work AND can be scaled across operations, leadership support increases. Together with J&J we were able to build trust in their tech journey and their plans for the future.
