Hyrian launches recruiting services

With retiring baby boomers set to leave a huge void in the workplace, and unemployment at record lows, the hunt for top talent grows more challenging

Hyrian today announced it will provide Fortune 500-level RPO services to companies with 100 employees through its new Hyrian OnDemand division. The company successfully handled 12,000 hires in 48 states last year alone and is on track to fill 20,000 positions this year. Increasingly, companies of all sizes are facing a talent drain that requires the depth and reach that can only be obtained by outsourcing.

ìWe want Hyrian OnDemand to be the recruitment department for mid-size companies,î said Daniel Solomons, CEO and president of Hyrian. ìOur fees, our time-to-hire and retention rates make us an unbeatable recruitment provider in this very competitive market thatís getting even more intense as baby boomers retire. Every seven seconds another boomer turns 60, and approximately 15 percent of the workforce will be eligible to retire in the next five years. Businesses face a serious challenge to their productivity and growth initiatives for the next 20 years.î

For human resource professionals, Hyrian relieves all the time-consuming recruitment steps so they can concentrate on more strategic issues like training, compliance and employee retention. Hiring managers work directly with highly responsive recruitment specialists who are supported by an unprecedented array of resources that target the ideal candidate, faster and often at significantly lower costs than they are currently paying.

One of Hyrianís long time Fortune 500 clients, UnitedHealth Group has found that new hires from search firms are 78 percent more likely to turn over in the first year than hires recruited through the Hyrian process. ìIn fact,î Solomons reports, ìour ability to provide targeted candidates, generate multi-million dollar savings and significantly reduce times-to-hire has turned Hyrian into United Health Groupís recruitment department for most mid level as well as non-exempt positions nationwide.î

The advanced Hyrian distributed recruitment process almost halves ìtime-to-fillî averages for large U.S. companies, as reported by the Corporate Leadership Council. Hyrianís process can fill positions in as few as 10 days, typically at costs that are 1/5 that of headhunters.

Hyrian OnDemand charges as little as $1,600 for handling non-exempt positions, $2,700 for mid-level exempt positions and as little as $3,960 for handling the hardest to fill specialty positions. For frequently occurring positions, large projects and ongoing programs, Hyrianís rates are even lower. These efficiencies, combined with Hyrianís time-to-hire track record, make it an industry leader.

Founded in 1997, Hyrian services the nation from its offices in Los Angeles (headquarters) and Plymouth, MN, and will open its New York office later this year. The company is growing dramatically and is in the same position as many mid-sized businesses, seeking top talent every day. Hyrian has more than 130 employees, is currently adding 125, and expects to grow to 330 by early 2007. The companyís two divisions are: Enterprise Services for Fortune 500 companies in which Hyrian is essentially embedded as the internal recruiting department handling hundreds to thousands of hires at all times, and OnDemand for small and mid-size companies with 100 to 5,000 employees.
