Adrian Russo, VP of Talent Acquisition

Uses Searchlight to optimize his recruiting engine to hire faster and easier, with fewer backfills

More Customer Stories

"Searchlight helps me see blindspots. We use Searchlight not only to streamline our hiring, but also to customize our launch plans to focus on growth areas. When Searchlight flags a focus area, like Communication, we stress that during the onboarding period. Doing this across the board led to low turnover rates and higher Quality of Hire. After sharing Searchlight datadirectly with the CTO, Head of Product, Head of Sales we expanded the usage of Searchlight across the business.”
