Introduction
A nurse staffing and recruitment company, faced challenges managing many nurse applications. Their reliance on spreadsheets made it difficult to track applicants’ status, communicate effectively, and reduce manual errors. The agency partnered with our team to implement a streamlined workflow using ActiveCampaign CRM to address these issues, ensuring efficient application tracking and automated communication.
The Challenge
Before implementing the ActiveCampaign CRM, the agency needed help with the manual effort required to track new applicants through their hiring stages. The use of spreadsheets led to inefficiencies and errors, making it difficult for the team to manage their growing applicant pool. The lack of a cohesive tracking system also slowed down the hiring process and increased the workload on the administrative team.
The Solution: ActiveCampaign Workflow Implementation
Overview of the Workflow
We created a customized workflow for the agency that leveraged the integration of Gravity Forms and ActiveCampaign. This workflow allowed for seamless tracking of nurse applications, automatically populating ActiveCampaign’s “Applications” pipeline with new applicants. The process involved:
- Automatically create a new deal in ActiveCampaign for each applicant.
- Admin review to determine candidate qualification.
- Automations triggered to invite qualified candidates to interviews and notify unqualified candidates via email.
- Tracking candidates through stages such as phone screening, onboarding, and hired.
The applicant pool became easy to view and analyze
Customizations
The system was further customized with automated communication, qualification triggers, and integration with onboarding documentation to ensure a seamless experience for both applicants and the agency team.
Challenges & Solutions
The greatest challenge was introducing the agency to the CRM system, as they were transitioning from manually tracking data via spreadsheets. Our team provided detailed documentation and multiple training sessions to help the team feel confident with the new system. This hands-on support ensured the team could effectively manage the transition and begin using the CRM for their recruitment process.
Results & Impact
Since implementing ActiveCampaign, the agency has seen significant improvements in their nurse application process:
- The team can now efficiently track all applicants in the ActiveCampaign deals pipeline.
- Communication with applicants has been streamlined, with automated notifications and reminders sent at key stages.
- The system has reduced manual work and improved the overall application processing time, though specific data is still being measured.
Collaboration with The Agency
We worked closely with the agency to map out their existing application process and designed the ActiveCampaign workflow to align with their needs. Minor tweaks were made along the way to improve the overall efficiency and ensure the system was fully optimized for their recruitment process.
Next Steps & Ongoing Support
Our team continues to provide ongoing support and fine-tuning for the workflow system, ensuring that the agency remains fully equipped to manage their growing applicant pool. We’re also exploring further enhancements to optimize the workflow and integrate additional automations as their needs evolve.
Conclusion
By transitioning the agency to ActiveCampaign CRM, we streamlined their nurse application process, reducing manual work and improving the efficiency of tracking and communication. This case study demonstrates how powerful CRM workflows can transform an organization’s operations, especially for high-volume recruitment processes.
