The Hirect story: How HROne aided its transformation into an employee-first enterprise

Back in 2018, Hirect, a mobile-first, chat-based direct hiring platform created for SMEs and high-growth start-ups, set out on a mission – to connect skilled workforce with the right job opportunities. They wanted to create a platform so unique and efficient that it would become “the” hiring solution in the market. 

That is exactly what they have done, revolutionising the recruitment industry and helping more than 3 million job seekers connect with over 190,000 recruiters. And a partner that has stood by their side, aiding Hirect’s growth and expansion has been HROne, an intelligent HCM suite. 

Founded in 2018, the Hirect story is that of a quintessential startup that had a very clear vision of its own growth and transformation into a successful enterprise. A very important aspect of their journey from startup to successful enterprise has been the successful partnership with HROne.  

In order to grow, a startup must take a number of critical steps, at the right time and having the right HR solution is one among the biggest. 

As companies scale up, workforce number rises, and composition diversifies, employee management takes centre stage. Excel sheets and messaging platforms are no longer enough:

1) Efficiency of these traditional methods of data management and communication decreases dramatically as the amount and type of data increases 

2) Especially when messaging platforms are used as a means of communication, it results in breakdown with multiple sources of “truth” with no true word to verify against. 

3) Sheets and messaging platforms are not scalable and come with their own set of complications in terms of scalability. 

This makes the transition to an EMS critical and allows for all regulatory requirements to be met in a structured manner. A company’s growth also demands more efficient and streamlined appraisal processes and set policy for payroll and allowances, among other things. 

It is here that a company needs to invest in an intelligent HCM suite that has the ability to transform their employee management practices.  

This was the challenge that Hirect faced during its growth phase. “Like any other startup, we faced a lot of challenges in terms of functions for HR,” Hirect’s head of HR, Ramani Ganesh, said. There came the point when Ganesh felt that to stay on the path of growth and expansion, Hirect required a technology-driven HRMS solution that: 

HROne, with its expertise in simplifying and automating HR processes, came on board as there was a clear, singular vision as to what needed to be achieved — an HR solution that increases the efficiency of Hirect’s HR department, enables its growth and expansion and creates a workplace that is more agile. 

From providing the ability to track and monitor HR task completion, the ability to perform all tasks from the inbox to recognizing your team for a job well done, HROne brought with it a plethora of useful features to the table. 

In a close partnership with HR One, Hirect improved its employee management process and leveraged technology across critical HR functions like hiring, engagement, career growth, and performance management. Here are some features of HROne that worked for Hirect: 

• The Nine Box matrix
  The 9-box grid model allowed Hirect to zero in on the potential employees, groom them and eventually take them to the next level.
  Impact
  Creation of a seamless hiring workflow that cuts down on both time and effort, allowing Hirect to zero in on the right employee faster.  

• Smart implementation of KPIs
  HROne allowed for KPIs to be implemented in a measurable manner.
  Impact
  Closes all measurement gaps and allows for the creation of a set action plan that tracks and assists employees in reaching their targets 

• User-friendly App
  Available in both iOs and Android, HROne’s mobile app has an intuitive UI and is easy to use.
  Impact
  Works well with the startup ethos that Hirect holds dear, provides flexibility to all employees to access critical HR functions

• Measurement tool for sales
  The implementation of this tool resulted in an increase in efficiency in the sales department – up to 24% from 12%, a 100% increase.
  Impact
  Data-based, actionable insights allow for sales associates to make a marked dent into their sales targets in an efficient and effective manner

“I would highly recommend HROne: It is easy to track, store data, it makes payroll easier, connects employees faster and, above all, looks at HRIS with a broader lens,” Ramani Ganesh said.

“We were growing fast – our steps were getting bigger and we were moving faster and HROne helped us meet our goals,” she said. Hirect was able to implement HROne quickly and effectively and was able to finish critical tasks such as recruitment and trend analysis in an efficient manner, saving up on both time and effort. 

The collaboration between Hirect and HROne shows how HROne’s intelligent HR solution can aid organisations as they scale newer heights of growth and expansion. And above all, how it can help create intelligent and efficient workplaces that allow employees to thrive. 

From features that enable HR to better understand the ethos of the workforce to the iconic #InboxforHR, HROne, since its inception, has been tirelessly working towards helping companies increase organisational efficiency by at least 3x. HROne has numerous features carefully crafted for every level of employee – from a team lead/manager to the CXO. For example, while employees can raise service requests from a single window, those from the C-suite can track system usage and calculate ROI among other things.
