John Keenan started Continuity Partners (CP) a decade ago, with the motto of delivering top-notch experience for candidates and clients, nurturing a culture of continuous learning, and making work enjoyable for everyone involved.
With his dedication, the firm has earned a solid reputation in technical hiring, especially among startups.
As their niche contracted in demand in the last couple of years, it did not dampen their spirits as much. They knew what to expect, and were braced for it.
Their transition from Bullhorn to Recruiterflow has stood the test of these difficult times, as they witnessed remarkable improvements in process, product adoption, and efficiency uptick of over 3X with Recruiterflow.
CP focussed on expanding its database strength as its first step. With Recruiterflow integrations, they can easily import all the data in, making Recruiterflow the first place their recruiters turn to find candidates. The data refresh feature ensures that the candidate database is always updated with the correct candidate information. As a result of this, they can rediscover existing candidates who are pre-vetted and place them much faster.
CP marks candidates actively seeking employment, through custom fields in the database. When candidates’ qualifications match any open positions, they are automatically included in the corresponding outreach campaigns. This streamlines the process of connecting candidates with suitable opportunities.
Keenan emphasizes that running a recruitment business is not just about closing candidates, it is about building relationships. CP embodies this philosophy by nurturing candidate relationships through customized workflows.
Automated communication ensures candidates receive relevant messages tailored to their interests and qualifications, including:
The collaboration features within Recruiterflow enable consultants to share insights, notes, and candidate statuses, ensuring everyone on the team is informed. The platform also allows for capturing candidate feedback, which helps the team to refine the recruitment process even further.
The intuitive UI and UX ensured that the team quickly adopted Recruiterflow.
In John’s own words —- “Recruiterflow’s simplicity is what makes it a perfect fit for us. It’s easy to adopt, and the team could dive right in without a steep learning curve. We’ve had systems that took days, even weeks, to implement fully with the team, but with Recruiterflow, the adoption was almost instant. Now, it’s the first place our recruiters turn to, and that’s made all the difference in our efficiency and engagement”
CP leverages Recruiterflow’s reports to analyze the effectiveness of engagement strategies. They focus on metrics such as email open rates and campaign success.
“Transitioning from Bullhorn to Recruiterflow was a game-changer for us. Recruiterflow isn’t just another ATS—it’s made our workflows faster and simpler, helping us focus on connecting candidates with opportunities. The platform’s simplicity, automation, and intuitive features have truly boosted our team’s productivity, making Recruiterflow the backbone of our recruitment process.”
