First Entertainment Credit Union, a leading financial resource for members of the entertainment community, was facing a significant challenge in sourcing talent for specific niches. The credit union, which manages over $1.5 billion in assets and serves over 83,000 members, was struggling to find candidates with experience in specific technologies used by small banks and credit unions. The job market was tight, especially for technical or senior-level roles, and the Talent Acquisition Partner, Matthew Vandegrift, was the only professional handling these tasks. He was looking for a solution that would help him find more qualified candidates without having to spend a lot of time sourcing. The challenge was to find a software that could widen the net and help him find more qualified candidates.

First Entertainment Credit Union chose hireEZ, an AI-powered technology that can be easily implemented into recruiting teams of any size. hireEZ is a user-friendly hiring software that can augment the recruiting workflow and save countless hours in sourcing for the best candidates from over 38 platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, GitHub, and Stack Overflow.
