Why Beamery
EisnerAmper partnered with Beamery in March of 2022 and has quickly built a talent program centered around community development. A core focus for the EisnerAmper team was to invest in the right technology to help them build robust talent communities and also give their talent teams the ability to re-engage past talent.
Like many organizations, they had already invested in an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to help lay the foundation for their hiring workflows, but they lacked a Talent Lifecycle Management suite that could give their Talent Acquisition team the insight they needed to be effective across the entire candidate lifecycle.
Their Talent Acquisition team uses Workday globally and hoped to find a robust talent CRM that fully integrated with Workday – supporting the Recruiting team from the very beginning of the talent cycle, to the very end. That’s where Beamery comes in.
“Beamery was the clear choice for EisnerAmper due to its close connection with Workday (our system workhorse), Beamery’s strong capabilities, and the team that was involved from start to finish… nothing but the best.” – Joseph R Mazzo, HRIT Director
Approach
Implementing software technology can be a cumbersome process. It requires impeccable planning, investment, cross-functional commitment, and a change management plan. The EisnerAmper team knew they needed to devise a fail-proof implementation plan that was different from other implementations, and one that was built to set their team up for long-term success.
With Beamery, they would be adding ancillary technology into their existing tech stack and wanted to make sure they considered their employees as a critical ingredient for success.
The EisnerAmper TA team knew they needed a solution to track passive candidates, resurface past candidates, send targeted campaigns, and provide an events platform for their campus hiring initiatives. Additionally, they wanted to redesign their career site to avoid talent drop off. These are all capabilities Beamery is built to support.
By choosing to implement Beamery in critical stages that aligned to their organizational goals, EisnerAmper created a base configuration that set them up to build and grow. With Beamery’s intelligent CRM and Career Site functionality, EisnerAmper could equip their TA team to meet hiring expectations and exceed the goals of their growing organization. They could:
- Prioritize hard-to-fill positions
- Remain compliant
- Activate proactive sourcing
- Build rich talent pools
- Leverage SMS and connected marketing channels
- Enable bulk communication
“It is rare when one is part of a project that is able to organize themselves, both on the vendor and customer side, in a manner that automatically sets up a successful outcome.” – Joseph R Mazzo, HRIT Director

Advice to Talent CRM Seekers or Switchers
What advice would this customer give to other Talent or HR professionals looking to switch CRMs or even those just starting their search?
- Do not take for granted the importance of how your CRM and ATS connect/communicate with one another… just because they have “APIs”, does not mean the integrations are going to be stable or productive.
- It is important to remember a CRM and an ATS are very different, both from a process and strategy standpoint. The latter cultivates and drives talent traffic, while the former transforms and nourishes potential incoming resources.
- When preparing your selection process for a new CRM, come to the table already prepared with your overall goals, a top-line timeline, and resources so you are ready to hit the ground running the moment you have signed that new contract and kicked off the project.
