Challenge
Before implementing LiveHire, ASICS relied on a manual recruitment process. Working mainly on spreadsheets and emails, miscommunication was a key frustration. Additionally, they were relying heavily on external recruitment agencies, resulting in increased recruitment spend and low productivity. Employees are the backbone of ASICS, meaning seasonal hiring must be successful and quick to result in organisational success.
"I’ve been working in HR and recruitment for over 10 years and LiveHire has to be one of the best systems that I’ve ever worked with. It’s very intuitive, easy to learn, easy to navigate and really a great communication platform."

Solution
During the implementation of LiveHire, ASICS leveraged the Professional Services Offering, where LiveHire experts assisted in building out recruitment functionality and processes. This streamlined process aligned recruiters, Hiring Managers and the organisation as a whole, improving communication and removing manual labour. When hiring for their biggest store world-wide, the streamlined process meant ASICS could find the best people for the roles at record-speed on the LiveHire platform, while reducing cost.
