Why it works

The case study earns its Efficiency tag by leading with a concrete set of numbers going down: interview hours cut 35%, reporting time halved, and scorecard turnaround tightened. The before-state is specific and credible, detailing 1,200 referral sources and data kept outside the ATS entirely. There is a genuine secondary Breakthrough thread in headcount growth from 2,500 to 4,500 in under a year, but the framing leads with process gains, so Efficiency is the correct primary.

Steal this

Pair a hard-number before-state (46 hours of interviews per hire, 1,200 referral sources) with a matching hard-number after-state (30 hours, 96% adoption) so readers can immediately calculate the gap themselves.
