Introduction
IFG Global is a Canada-based HR recruitment firm that works with Fortune 500 companies to source top-tier finance and accounting talent. As their operations scaled, the leadership needed a more agile and insightful way to track recruiter performance, job order pipelines, and placement trends.
ScaleupAlly partnered with IFG Global to build a powerful BI reporting solution that centralized recruitment data, automated performance tracking, and replaced manual Excel reporting with interactive Power BI dashboards that offer clear and actionable insights across the organization.
Methodology and Solution
To modernize IFG Global’s data analytics framework, ScaleupAlly implemented an integrated reporting pipeline, combining automation, cloud storage, and visual analytics. Key components of the solution included:
- Bullhorn API Integration: Automated extraction of recruiter, candidate, and job data directly from Bullhorn ATS on a scheduled basis.
- AWS-Based Data Storage: Set up secure cloud architecture to store and manage large volumes of structured and unstructured recruitment data.
- Excel Data Merging: Combined external Excel-based KPI trackers with Bullhorn data to offer a comprehensive view of HR performance metrics.
- Power BI Dashboard Development: Designed user-friendly dashboards displaying recruiter efficiency, job fill ratios, and placement funnels in real time.
- Role-Based Dashboard Access: Built customized dashboard views for executives, recruiters, and analysts to access insights relevant to their responsibilities.
