Challenges
  • High non-contact rate due to out-of-date data
  • Recruiters trying to contact candidates without a valid number, delaying recruitment process
  • Agency were charged even when mobile numbers were dead, resulting in costly communications

Solution overview

The objective was to identify and exclude candidates that were not contactable via email and/or phone, protect its email sender reputation and enable cost savings on communications. The cleanse would also give the agency an up-to-date view of the size of its candidate pool.

65,000+ uncontactable candidates were instantly identified and subsequently removed from the CRM system.
