The History
We have been working with Aetna since July 2017. Within the first four months of our engagement, we were able to submit and place more candidates than the other six agency partners combined. This led us to becoming their top-performing Analytics recruitment partner.
Key Challenges
Candidate's market and a shortage of Data Science talent
According to LinkedIn in 2022, out of 400K US-based Data Science jobs, there were only about 100K Data Scientists, indicative of a candidate driven market. Due to this, the start of 2022 was met with offer decline percentages from 46% to 56%. However, this started tapering off as the market switched back toward the end of the year.
High-volume hiring & bottlenecks in the internal HR processes
Due to a lack of recruiter capacity, CVS's internal HR process was very delayed as we tried to scale up the submissions. In responding to this pain point, Hop signed a retainer agreement with CVS Health. This resulted in us owning the end-to-end hiring process including, screening, scheduling, coordination, salary negotiations, and closing of candidates.
Our Approach
To address the talent shortage and competitive market, we implemented a targeted recruitment strategy that focused on building a strong pipeline of qualified data science professionals. Our team worked closely with CVS Health's leadership to understand their specific needs and culture fit requirements.
Key Results
Our partnership with CVS Health has proven to be successful, yielding tangible results in diversity, quality of recruitment, speed, and scale.
We significantly improved the submission to hire ratio from 1:25 to 1:10. This reflects a more streamlined recruitment process.
In August 2022, 50% of candidates successfully moved from submission to the technical interview, while 42% progressed from the technical interview to the onsite interview.
