The Challenge
Splunk, a leading software platform provider for the analysis of machine data, was facing challenges in identifying qualified senior-level and mission-critical talent. The company, which has seen one of the fastest growth rates among technology companies, needed to bring on new recruiting technology to support their rapid expansion. The talent team was tasked with identifying and engaging with hard-to-reach talent to fill hundreds of open roles at any given time. As the end of the year approached, the pressure to explore new sourcing technologies increased. Manual sourcing tactics by the experienced staff were effective, but far too time consuming. Moreover, the response rates they were seeing from LinkedIn Recruiter InMails were on the decline.
About The Customer
Splunk is a leading software platform provider for the analysis of machine data, one of the largest and quickest growing categories of big data. The company's patented technology analyzes everything from clickstreams and network activity to transactions and security threats, providing businesses with vital insights that help reduce costs, improve services, and guard against security risks. Since first shipping its software in 2006, Splunk has seen one of the fastest growth rates among technology companies. Today, Splunk has more than 2,000 employees in several offices around the world.
The Solution
Alan Cooper, Senior Manager of Worldwide Staffing and Candidate Research at Splunk, compared three different products, including Entelo, to help him more quickly find and better communicate with candidates. After a thorough vetting process, Cooper decided to bring on Entelo. The new technology had an immediate impact on the productivity and efficiency of his team. Entelo was leveraged to bring on many key new hires and is planned to be used as their preferred resource for candidate research and engagement as the team grows. The solution provided by Entelo helped automate manual sourcing procedures, maximizing team efficiency and improving outreach response rates.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
