How Popp Helped Megatron Sensors Solve a Year-Long Hiring Challenge and Increase Recruitment Efficiency by 50%
Megatron Sensors faced the challenge of filling highly technical, on-site roles that had remained vacant for over a year. With limited resources and a small talent acquisition team, they struggled to manage a growing volume of applications and expand outreach to qualified candidates. The complexity of these roles and the lack of capacity to post all job openings further delayed the hiring process, creating significant operational bottlenecks.

The Challenge
Megatron Sensors faced a daunting recruitment challenge: filling highly technical, on-site roles that had remained open for over a year. With limited bandwidth, their small talent acquisition team struggled to post all active job openings, let alone expand outreach to potential candidates. As a result, applications stagnated, and critical positions remained unfilled, delaying operations and growth.
The Solution
With Popp as their digital resourcer, Megatron Sensors was able to design a streamlined recruitment process that automated time-consuming tasks like candidate screening, outreach, and document collection. Popp’s tools empowered their team to quickly scale up job postings, manage a larger volume of applications, and engage candidates more effectively. By automating these administrative tasks, the talent acquisition team was free to focus on interviews and hiring decisions, ensuring critical roles were filled faster.
The Results
After implementing Popp as their digital resourcer, Megatron Sensors transformed their hiring process. They increased the number of job openings posted across job boards and their website by 50%, reaching more candidates than ever before. Most notably, Popp enabled the team to fill roles that had been vacant for over a year within just a few weeks, resolving a major bottleneck in their recruitment efforts.
