THE CHALLENGE
High Applicant Volume Was Slowing Hiring
Bedel Security received more than 5,000 applicants for four open roles. Recruiters spent hours each week reviewing resumes from candidates who looked qualified on paper but were not aligned with the demands of the IT Specialist role.
The Bedel talent team needed a faster, more reliable way to spot best-fit candidates.
The Hiring Challenges
Overwhelming Volume
5,000+ applicants created weeks of manual resume review.
Surface-Level fit
Many resumes looked strong but didn’t match real job demands.
Inefficient Screening
Recruiters lost hours each week evaluating mismatched candidates.
THE HIGHMATCH APPROACH
From Manual Review to Targeted, Predictive Screening
HighMatch partnered with Bedel Security to streamline hiring by identifying key success traits such as resilience, organization, and inductive reasoning. The process started with a Job Fit Questionnaire to filter candidates early, followed by a custom assessment and tailored interview questions.
