The Challenge

Wyzwanie

As UPMC embarked on its ambitious expansion journey in Ireland, the organisation encountered several significant challenges related to their recruitment processes. Rapid growth required a swift and efficient hiring strategy to onboard highly skilled professionals across multiple locations. However, UPMC’s traditional recruitment methods were not equipped to handle the increased scale and complexity. The following sections outline the key obstacles UPMC faced and the pressing need for a transformative solution to ensure continued growth and compliance in a competitive healthcare landscape.

Disjointed Recruitment Processes

Amie Fitzpatrick, Senior Talent Acquisition Lead at UPMC, describes the initial recruitment process as cumbersome and outdated. The process was paper-based, leading to lengthy delays in obtaining hiring approvals and managing candidate information. Each site maintained separate HR files, resulting in siloed candidate management and increased risks of lost or misplaced details. Moreover, the lack of job board automation made the process highly manual and inefficient.

Growth Plans and Compliance Needs

UPMC's growth plans included expanding their hospital network from 2 to 4 hospitals and increasing their oncology and sports medicine centres. This expansion necessitated a centralised Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to ensure recruitment best practices, GDPR compliance, and a seamless recruitment process for end-users.

Need for Speed and Efficiency

The primary challenge was to find a solution that could automate and streamline the recruitment process. Speed and process improvement were crucial, as UPMC needed an efficient way to share CVs with hiring managers and receive real-time responses. The goal was to enhance both internal stakeholder and external candidate experiences.

The Solution

Rozwiązanie

The realisation of the need for a robust recruitment solution that could meet their scaling needs came when the existing inefficiencies could no longer be ignored. Fitzpatrick recalls,

UPMC acquired hospitals via acquisitions so a centralised ATS system was essential to ensure recruitment best practice, GDPR compliancy and to ensure our end users had a good recruitment process. "

Through multiple meetings with relevant stakeholders, including department heads and IT specialists, it was decided that Occupop would best suit their current needs and help progress their preference to computerise many of their systems. Fitzpatrick mentioned;

We needed an automated way to share CV's with our hiring managers efficiently and to get their responses in real time. Occupop is super user friendly and they functionality improved our internal stakeholder and external candidate experience. Occupop as a product is loved across the HR team in UPMC. "
