Introduction
Blue Compass RV stands as a leader in the RV industry with over 100 dealerships spread across 32 states. Known for their exceptional customer service and extensive inventory, Blue Compass has experienced rapid growth in recent years. However, this expansion brought challenges in managing their recruitment process efficiently. To keep up with their growth, Blue Compass needed a more specialized solution to streamline their hiring operations and engage hiring managers across multiple locations.
The Problem
Blue Compass RV originally relied on an applicant tracking tool integrated within their payroll system. While the payroll system offered comprehensive HR and payroll services, it fell short in catering to the specific needs of recruiting at scale. The primary issues included:
Limited Functionality
The payroll-focused tool lacked the features necessary to manage a dynamic and growing recruitment process.
Unfriendly user interface
The system was difficult for hiring managers to use, leading to low adoption rates and disengagement.
Inefficient processes
The tool was not designed to streamline hiring activities, causing administrative burdens and inefficiencies.
Candidate experience
Due to the system’s limitations, providing a positive candidate experience was challenging, hindering Blue Compass’s employment brand.

To address these issues, Blue Compass RV switched to Hireology, a specialized platform that provides a streamlined and efficient solution for managing applicants and the hiring process. Here’s how Hireology addressed the challenges:
