Universal Technologies
The Challenge High costs and low return on investment on generalist platform Universal Technologies, an IT consulting firm based in New York, specializes in sourcing highly skilled tech talent for government clients with strict qualification requirements. Using generalist platforms like Indeed, they encountered frequent challenges: not only were qualified candidates scarce, but popular job posts were sometimes flagged and additional costs were incurred. Dean Stringfellow, Operations Manager, recalls spending over $1K on a single job post on Indeed, only to make no hires. “I’ll never forget,” Dean says, “we posted one job on there, and by the end, it cost about $1,100—and we never got a hire from it.” To deliver top talent to clients quickly and at a lower cost, Dean knew the firm needed a tech-specific recruiting platform. The Solution A tech-centered recruiting platform with built-in ROI After researching options, Dean discovered Dice by asking ChatGPT for a list of the best tech hiring platforms. Drawn by its exclusive focus on tech roles and integration features, he found that Dice was not only an ideal solution, but also within his budget. Dice’s specialized candidate pool and targeted filters yielded highly relevant results, drastically cutting the time his team spent screening applicants. “The biggest draw was that Dice is so IT-focused,” Dean explains. “It’s an industry that’s only going to keep growing, and we wanted a platform dedicated to it.” With the Easy Source and Easy Post integrations with Bullhorn, Universal Technologies now connects with top candidates more efficiently than ever. Easy Post allows them to seamlessly list jobs on Dice from their ATS, ensuring visibility to the right audience. Meanwhile, Easy Source automates the sourcing process, using Dice’s AI to recommend top candidates based on specific job criteria—significantly reducing the time spent on manual searches. “For us, it’s plug and play,” says Dean. “We enter our criteria, and Dice finds the right people. It saves so much time.” The Results 30-minutes saved per day and 90% fill rate Since switching to Dice, Universal Technologies has made 100% of its hires from Dice’s platform. With a 90% success rate in finding qualified candidates for tech roles, Dean and his team avoid the noise and irrelevant applications common on other sites. This precision has led to measurable time savings, with Dice’s integrated tools giving the team back an estimated 20-30 minutes per day—adding up to over two hours each week in reclaimed productivity. Dean highlights Dice’s value in saving both time and money: “With Dice, we’re not wasting resources. We’re connecting with the right candidates and making hires without the costly back-and-forth we experienced elsewhere.”
