We are delighted to remarket this case study from our strategic partner, SimplifyVMS, the platform powering Career Connector.
Engagement
KellyOCG sought a technology partner to develop a bespoke direct sourcing solution for John Deere and encountered SimplifyHire through a serendipitous video call.
“We thought we were going to see a VMS! When we saw the demo of SimplifyHire, we realized it would be a good fit to collaborate and build something that could benefit all three parties: Kelly, SimplifyHire, and John Deere.”
The Challenge
John Deere looked to improve their direct sourcing capabilities to:
Reduce reliance on traditional supply chains for talent acquisition.
Leverage their existing retiree pool and RPO talent for contingent roles.
Increase brand awareness beyond lawnmowers and attract a wider range of skilled workers.
