How a Leading Recruitment Agency Reduced Time-to-Hire by 40% with Pivotal Leap ATS

Client Overview

Client Name: Confidential

Contact Person: Head of Recruitment

Industry: Recruitment & Staffing (IT and Healthcare)

A fast-growing recruitment agency specializing in IT and healthcare staffing was managing hundreds of open roles each month with a team of 50+ recruiters. Their hiring process relied heavily on manual resume handling, spreadsheets, and disconnected job boards, which slowed down hiring and limited visibility.

Client Testimonial

"We unexpectedly learned that Salesforce required us to manually transfer all of our current accounts, contacts, cases, leads, and opportunities from our old database into a new one. We were able to make some progress on my own before running into a wall, and that’s when we turned to Pivotal Leap.

Pivotal Leap was a tremendous help in guiding us through the data migration process. Their expertise made what initially felt overwhelming into a smooth and manageable transition. On top of that, the hourly rate was very affordable, especially considering the quality of support we received.

We would absolutely work with Pivotal Leap again in the future, and I strongly recommend them to any organisation needing help with Salesforce data transfers or similar projects."
