Case Study

PROBLEM

Like many staffing organizations, TalentLaunch faced a familiar tension: their recruiters were doing amazing work, but they didn’t have a scalable, modern way to capture and showcase those experiences in real time. They had previously relied on ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing program—a well-known option in the industry, but one that was extremely manual. Gathering feedback felt like a heavy lift, participation wasn’t always consistent, and by the time results came in, the moment had often passed.

Meanwhile, the voices of happy candidates and clients weren’t always the loudest ones online—especially on Google—so TalentLaunch’s true reputation wasn’t being reflected in search results. Reputation management, recruiter recognition, and candidate experience felt like three separate initiatives when they should have been working together.

There wasn’t one dramatic breaking point—more of a growing realization that the firm needed a solution that worked with their day-to-day recruiting process instead of creating more work for their teams. They also had a clear internal goal: make sure their happiest customers were being heard where it matters most, authentically and in real time.

SOLUTION

TalentLaunch wasn’t looking for just another survey tool. They wanted something more automated, more human, and more aligned with how people actually engage with brands today. Great Recruiters stood out immediately—not as a data-collection platform, but as a storytelling and reputation engine built specifically for staffing.

The automation was a major differentiator: the ability to consistently collect feedback, funnel positive experiences directly to Google, and create recruiter-level visibility without manual chasing was exactly what was missing. Equally important was the platform’s recruiter-first philosophy—it celebrates the humans behind the work, not just the company logo. That focus aligned perfectly with TalentLaunch’s culture.

The seamless integration with their existing Bullhorn ATS was the final piece—ensuring feedback would flow automatically in the background while teams stayed focused on what they do best: connecting people with opportunity.

RECRUITER MORALE & CULTURE

Some of the greatest value from Great Recruiters has come from areas TalentLaunch didn’t initially anticipate:

• Recruiter Morale: Recruiters feel seen. Their work is documented, shared, and celebrated—and that changes how people show up every day. Great Recruiters has become a built-in way to say “this work matters.”
• Candidate Trust Before First Contact: Candidates encounter authentic proof—not just promises—before they ever pick up the phone. A strong, credible presence on Google and social builds trust instantly and reassures candidates they’ll be treated like people, not placements.
• Sales & Marketing Enablement: GR reviews power sales decks, RFP responses, and website content, providing the kind of third-party credibility that marketing copy alone can never replicate.
• Cultural Impact: Great Recruiters has become a core part of TalentLaunch’s identity—reinforcing a people-first culture that attracts great clients and great talent alike.
• Organic Brand Reach: Recruiters regularly share their reviews with their own networks, extending TalentLaunch’s reach in ways paid media never could.
