Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. Ensures Diversified Hiring and EEOC Compliance While Broadening Corporate Culture with HRLogix Web-Based Hiring Solutions

OKLAHOMA CITY--Oct. 1, 20059, 2005--HRLogix, an innovative leading provider of recruitment management technologies, provides unparalleled solutions and service to Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. . Currently dealing with multiple lawsuits, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. needed to adapt their corporate hiring processes to comply with strengthened EEOC guidelines - and fast. Tasked with diversifying their current workforce by a daunting 10 percent in a relatively short period of time, Fleetwood management quickly realized they would need to find and implement a fail safe system to ensure a well-diversified pool of candidates would routinely be presented to hiring managers for consideration.

They turned to HRLogix, a leading provider of web-based recruiting management systems, for a comprehensive and innovative hiring solution, tailor-made to suit their specific needs. HRLogix quickly transformed Fleetwood's corporate website into a powerful, paperless recruiting tool that automated and streamlined the entire on-boarding process. The tailor-made system was designed to ensure that a minimum of 10% of female candidates, the percentage increase needed to bring Fleetwood to compliance, were included in candidate pools being passed along to hiring managers.

Using the applicant database keyword search, applicants were quickly ranked based on their skills and availability, and presented to recruiters allowing the Fleetwood HR staff to concentrate their time and effort on the most qualified candidates. The paperless, online solution saved considerable time for both the employees and the HR staff.

"Given our unique set of challenges with compliance, HRLogix designed a tailor-made solution that met and exceeded our budget, customer service needs and technology expectations," said Frank Hardee, Director of Human Resources for Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.

As a result of the new recruiting technology pioneered by HRLogix, Fleetwood eclipsed their goal of increasing workforce diversification by 10 percent with an impressive 26 percent increase, including the hiring of the industry's first ever female General Manager and Production Manager. Within the first year, Fleetwood had identified a pool of more than 2,200 qualified applicants, compared to the meager 128 applicants obtained through the more traditional method of newspaper advertising. HRLogix provided an HR department that was now accessible 24/7 and a very professional, effective approach to job-seekers in the market.

"HRLogix saved us $600,000 in the first six months by providing a searchable, national applicant database," said Hardee. "They immediately eliminated the expense of professional recruiter fees."

Fleetwood HR staff was able to track and monitor hiring managers, plant locations and specific shifts in order to focus diversity training on those areas that needed it most. HRLogix enabled Fleetwood to significantly improve employee retention and decreased the 'time-to-hire' from months to an average 31 days.
