MHG Hotels, a leading hospitality management company with 20 properties across multiple states, has embraced Hireology to transform its hiring process. Aaron Goodwin, Vice President at MHG Hotels, oversees the hiring of general managers and other key roles, ensuring the company maintains its high standards of service and operational excellence. With Hireology, Aaron and his team have streamlined their recruitment efforts, saving time and improving the quality of hires.
Overcoming Challenges with Organization and Efficiency
Before adopting Hireology, MHG Hotels faced challenges with organization and efficiency in their hiring process. Aaron recalls how disorganized hiring practices often led to missed opportunities and inefficiencies. However, Hireology’s intuitive platform has completely changed the game.
“The biggest key is organization, especially when managing our hiring workload. This tool is so easy to use and so organized.” Aaron shared.
With Hireology, Aaron can oversee the hiring process across all properties and all hiring managers, ensuring that no candidate is overlooked. The platform’s centralized dashboard and timestamp features allow him to identify bottlenecks in the hiring process, such as delays in reaching out to candidates. This level of visibility has empowered Aaron to hold his team accountable and address inefficiencies head-on with real-time insights like time-to-hire to ensure they’re operating above industry standards to connect with qualified candidates and secure top talent.
Key Features Driving Success
MHG Hotels has leveraged several of Hireology’s features to enhance their hiring process:
Texting for Faster Communication
One of the standout Hireology features for MHG Hotels has been the ability to communicate with candidates via text. In the hospitality industry, where many candidates may not regularly check their email, texting has proven to be a game-changer.
“The texting feature has been incredibly helpful. It allows us to reach candidates quickly and directly, especially during the early stages of the hiring process,” Aaron explained. “It streamlines communication and ensures we’re not missing out on connecting with great people.” — Aaron Goodwin
Automated Processes and Checklists
Aaron has streamlined his hiring workflow using Hireology’s automation tools, comparing Hireology to a new sports car versus legacy ATS features. From sending assessment links to scheduling interviews, the platform’s pre-built email templates and checklists have saved him significant time.
“I had 100 applicants come through this morning, and I went through all of them in about 32 minutes. The system makes it so easy to review resumes, send assessments, and move candidates through the hiring funnel.” — Aaron Goodwin
Career Site Development
Hireology also helped MHG Hotels develop a visually appealing and functional career page, which has enhanced their employer brand and attracted quality candidates.
“The site is beautiful, Hireology did a terrific job developing the site for MHG. It’s a great landing page that attracts people with meaningful stories and real pictures of our team,” — Aaron Goodwin
Background Checks and Compliance
The platform’s integration with background check services has simplified the vetting process for MHG Hotels. Aaron appreciates how easy it is to initiate background checks with just a click, leaving the rest to the HR team.
“For me, it’s as simple as hitting ‘order background check,’ and then HR handles the rest. It’s a very simple process,” — Aaron Goodwin
