The client, which has a network of more than 40 brands that it has expanded via mergers and acquisitions, is one of the largest recruiting experts in the world. The client, one of the fastest-growing organizations in this market, concentrates on combining recruiting businesses servicing various sectors.

Business Challenges

• The crew put in a good deal of time and effort each month to download more than 4,000 payments.
• Manually carrying out this procedure for several manufacturers increased the possibility of mistakes, such as missing downloads and duplicate downloads.
• The staff had to pay close attention to make sure that each payment was downloaded, handled carefully, and posted in accordance with the client portal’s specifications.
• The staff would struggle to separate IDF and current payments because to the huge payment volume, significantly increasing the chance of human mistakes.

How QX Helped

• Successfully deployed the solution across 11 businesses to allow IDF process management.

Case Study 5: Automating Data Parsing for Recruitment Agencies with Email Parser

Six of the top ten healthcare staffing agencies are among the top recruiting firms QX works with in the UK. These organizations frequently deal with a lot of emails with the same or similar material. Manually processing this data may result in a loss of time, money, and labor.

Business Challenges

• The customer had to keep a team of 15 employees on hand to transfer job openings from their inbox to their front-end system due to the client receiving thousands of job posting emails from various Trusts.
• The organization’s competitiveness and turnaround time were influenced by the time it took to create the vacancy in the front-end system and deliver it to the recruiting consultants.
• Sometimes, two data entry personnel would select up the same opening, leading to duplicate opening entries in the front-end system.
• Closing openings that were filled requires tedious and time-consuming manual updating.
