Duracell manufactures countless batteries & devices that people use to stay connected, protect their families, and simplify their mobile lifestyles. As the world's largest battery company with more than $2 billion in annual sales, Duracell (the Copper Top), is a trusted household name and global brand icon.

Requirements

After acquiring Duracell from Procter & Gamble in 2015, the Marmon Group (Berkshire Hathaway) needed to build-out a 39-person IT team dedicated to a newly autonomous Duracell. To do this, Duracell needed to:

Establish a hiring plan that was both future-forward and nimble
Spin up a new system for tracking IT applicants quickly
Develop hiring content that would attract the right people
Execute the hiring strategy from end-to-end

Approach

To bring this project to life, Hirewell worked collaboratively with Duracell to achieve their hiring goals by:

Setting up an inbound applicant tracking system for the IT project specifically within 24 hours

Consulting on organizational design, compensation, interview strategy/process, job descriptions, marketing collateral, and more

Developing hiring content to ensure maximum visibility to relevant candidate markets

Using iterative project planning as a part of the day-to-day to remain nimble and meet the needs of multiple stakeholders
