Read it here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more than 50 years, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pier1.com\" target=\"_blank\">Pier 1<\/a> has been the place to discover unique, hidden treasures. And just like the company\u2019s quest to find funky furnishings, Pier 1 is also passionate about retaining their special culture by recruiting the best talent. Talent Acquisition Manager, Steve White, is confident he can accomplish that task, if given the right tools \u2026 and the time.   But the keyword here is time. Just like most competitive recruiters, White hires an average of three-to-four positions each and every month \u2013 not including his contract roles or the hundreds of other different directions he gets pulled in every day. That\u2019s why this 10-year recruiting veteran has been \u201ctotally blown away\u201d by Dice\u2019s new social recruiting tool, Open Web. As White tells it, Open Web has saved 45 percent of his  time. <span>White says he\u2019s used Open Web to source, recruit and hire two incredibly hard-to-fill tech positions, and a third is in the works. The first \u2013 a complex, hybrid Telecommunications Engineer position that had been open for more than five months before discovering Open  <\/span><span>Web.<\/span>   \u201cYou can\u2019t create time, but you can maximize it. Open Web allows me to do just that.  Because I have access to more candidates in one place, it\u2019s a great time saver.\u201d Thousands of searches, 200+ emails, and 25 interviews later, White still wasn\u2019t getting those \u201cwarm and fuzzies.\u201d So he turned to Open Web and performed the exact same search he had done for 150 days straight, in just 90 minutes. White found the perfect match \u2013 a diverse candidate with the right skill match and the company\u2019s \u201cwork hard, play hard\u201d mentality. Pier 1 immediately extended an offer. Why did it take White just 90 minutes to accomplish what he previously tried to do for five frustrating months? Open Web leverages data across 50 social and niche sites, so it\u2019s able to return a much richer data set. That means more unique candidates that simply won\u2019t surface from a single site search. \u201cTime-to-fill is extremely important at Pier 1,\u201d says White. \u201cThat\u2019s exactly why Open Web is such a big deal. If I had used Dice\u2019s new tool from the start, I would have exceeded everybody\u2019s expectations.\u201d   Today, White is also using Open Web as a pipeline-building tool, allowing him to get ahead of the work curve \u2013 a difficult task, especially in Pier 1\u2019s   busiest season. \u201cOur company is growing, and we\u2019re hiring at a rapid pace. Open Web is allowing me to pipeline \u2013 to do proactive searches and make proactive hires.\u201d At Pier 1, where discovering unique, hidden gems is both the core product and a top talent priority, White says \u201cOpen Web is truly helping. And it\u2019ll only continue to do so in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><span>___________________________________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Steve White<\/strong>  is a Talent Acquisition Manager at Pier 1 Imports, the original global importer of decorative home furnishings and gifts.
