For family-owned wedding services company American Wedding Group (AWG), an outdated, manual hiring system simply wasn’t working. As the nation’s leading provider of wedding photography, video, and disc jockey services, matching customers with quality employees has been an important facet of the company’s success since its inception in 1978. Operating in over 60 markets, AWG works to deliver a handpicked, customized wedding experience to brides and grooms across the country. However, AWG’s nine hiring managers were having difficulty managing the company’s growing talent acquisition process through its traditional by-hand process. After a review of solutions, Director of Production Scott Mitchell selected Jobvite Hire over several other options due to its ease of use, reach, customizability and multiple login options.

Jobvite has allowed AWG to transform its talent system and accelerate the company’s growth. With the addition of newfound organization and expanded reach to the company’s already impressive offering, 'we’re doing things now that we never thought we could pull off, and that wouldn’t have happened with our old hiring methods. Jobvite invigorated our entire recruiting process,' says Mitchell. After adding Jobvite to the company’s hiring repertoire, Mitchell and his team noticed an immediate improvement. With a platform that easily integrated into AWG’s existing recruiting tactics, the company’s average rate of hire has gone from 6-8 weeks to just 14 days, vetting and implementing new candidates with newfound efficiency. Mitchell’s recruiting team also appreciates the customizability Jobvite offers. With only nine hiring managers overseeing over 60 markets, Mitchell explains, coordination and collaboration can get tricky. 'With nine different people, you can get a bunch of different ways of doing things. What Jobvite’s customizability does for our company is it gives us consistency and professionalism across all of our markets. This way, we’re all on the same page when it comes to how we target and onboard new employees.' Jobvite Hire fits AWG so well that using the software to maintain the hiring program has become second nature to the recruiting team. Because of the ease of checking Jobvite via mobile devices, hiring managers have integrated Jobvite into their day-to-day routines at AWG.
