At Personify, we know in the midst of an increasingly skilled labor shortage, driving candidate and employee engagement to ensure an organization meets its hiring goals is readily achievable. With the help of our partner, Peakon, we provide our customers with every aspect of our cylindrical recruitment strategy.
Peakon is a dedicated employee engagement platform. Its software collects data on employees’ feedback and helps our clients turn this information into effective actions. This Improves retention delivering greater profitability through less downtime and hiring costs.
Here’s how our partnership helps us succeed.
Recruit
We begin our cylindrical hiring process by doing what we know best: recruiting.
Personify actively searches for candidates by employing a high-powered electronic campaign, one that’s much more robust than merely posting a job opening and praying someone answers. Our strategic partnerships with the world’s largest employment boards and networks, along with more grassroots efforts and passive recruitment campaigns, help us to find the best active candidates for our clients’ openings.
We built our business’s fundamental experience on 40 years’ worth of executive searching, but not just in the C-Suite. Personify’s capabilities span all job families and position levels, and as part of our recruitment efforts, we mine our mature databases of candidates along with identifying prospects currently employed with competitors. We know first-hand targeting candidates who aren’t actively seeking a new position but have the right qualities for our customers lends to delivering the best result.
This recruitment model allows for the flexibility to utilize additional third-party recruiting agencies in extreme cases of an opening having a niche job profile and an aggressive Time-to-Fill deadline. Personify still maintains a streamlined process for hiring managers and HR, even when candidates come from other sources. Historically, our RPO customers are only hiring candidates from those other agencies less than 5% of the time.
Ultimately the key ingredient to our recruitment process is the belief that engaging candidates on a personal level is an art form. Managing an organization’s entire recruiting function, though, is very much a science—one that we are continually working to perfect. With Peakon’s help, we measure every single step in a recruitment process, down to the individual keystrokes.

Peakon’s software gives employees a voice using a bottom-up approach, providing data that empowers managers to make actionable changes in real-time.

We use this feedback to learn our clients’ culture as if it were our own, creating a deeper understanding of whom to hire and where best to focus funding the best talent for our clientele.
Highlighted findings inform managers of team achievements, as well as providing them concrete data on the issues impacting their team’s performance.
