Estes Express Lines attracts more talent with Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM
The travel and transportation firm boosts applicant flow, expedites hiring, and reduces onboarding paperwork with Oracle Recruiting.
“Our drivers were taking 45 minutes on average to fill out data in our old application. Now with profile importing and no passwords, that’s down to 15 minutes while still collecting all the DOT-required information.”
The largest privately held freight transportation company in North America, Estes Express Lines offers a suite of freight shipping services with the resources, reach, and reliability of a national carrier. The organization had trouble getting enough applicants to fill job vacancies efficiently as well as onboarding quality talent, mainly due to the company’s reliance on manual, paper-based forms and a tedious job application process. Estes leaders decided to adopt Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and Oracle Recruiting for the digital onboarding environment, candidate engagement tools, and a more enjoyable, simplified candidate experience. Today, Estes is proud to have increased its applicant flow by 61%, reduced time-to-fill by 52%, and cut applicant drop-off by 137%. The company also eliminated the vast majority of its onboarding paperwork, reducing the number of forms needed from 40 to only 1.
