With Jobvite, AHN Transforms Candidate Management and Efficiency, Spurring Major Growth

Finding talent to keep a complex organization like AHN running smoothly was a particularly difficult task. As an organization that relies on a variety of labor to provide its customers with quality healthcare, access to experienced, talented candidates is key, and AHN’s previous tactics simply were not working. According to Corporate VP of Talent Acquisition Irv Naar, the company’s “post and pray” strategy— and outdated applicant tracking system—severely limited reach and growth possibilities. Additionally, with highly diverse talent requirements to meet, AHN’s sourcing and recruiting model needed a total overhaul. When Naar was brought on to the AHN team in early 2011, he needed to rebuild the recruiting department from the ground up—including a new, fully integrated recruiting platform. After testing a number of different options, Naar and his team selected Jobvite’s comprehensive recruiting platform for immediate roll out and deployment.
