ExploreHow Tata Steel went from Excel sheets to a hiring engine that closes 48% of roles in 30 days.
One of the world's leading steel producers overhauled a manual, Excel-driven recruitment process - replacing every offline touchpoint with AI-powered sourcing, structured assessment, and a Dream Offer module that achieves 96% acceptance. 100% system adoption. Median job cycle time down by 15 days.
Global enterprises that hire heavily all year round choose RippleHire.
Save hiring quality, candidate experience, and operational efficiency from manual processes, narrow sourcing, and candidate drop-off after offer acceptance.
Replace Excel-based tracking and ad-hoc demand forecasting with a predictable hiring engine.
Tata Steel had no reliable way to forecast talent requirements on a quarterly or yearly basis. Last-minute hiring strained resources and compromised candidate quality. An Excel-based application tracking system required heavy manual intervention at every stage - prone to errors, slow, and not built for the volume they were handling. RippleHire replaced it with an integrated ATS covering the full recruitment lifecycle. What used to take 2 to 3 days just to start the process now takes minutes. Reporting and monitoring across key recruitment metrics became straightforward - sourcing ratio, time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, and source effectiveness all visible without manual effort.
Replace narrow sourcing and build a pipeline that includes passive talent.
Tata Steel primarily sourced through a small number of job portals and consultants - an approach that missed broader talent, especially candidates not actively job hunting. RippleHire integrated the ATS with multiple job portals, created a referral portal for internal employees, and introduced Boolean search, AI-enabled CV-to-job matching, and generative AI for job description creation. Sourcing effort reduced by 66%. Plans to incorporate analytics for passive applicant engagement were also built into the road ahead.
Arrest candidate drop-off with structured assessment and Dream Offers that achieve 96% acceptance.
A significant number of candidates were dropping out after accepting offers at Tata Steel. Each dropout wasted the full time and cost of the hiring process. RippleHire's Dream Offer module created a personalized offer experience - featuring a message from leadership, a view into company culture, and a detailed breakdown of benefits and compensation. Offer acceptance hit 96% in the first half of the financial year. Documentation and background verification completion time reduced by over 70%. The Recruiter Certification Program introduced structured, consistent interviewing - cutting the entire selection process time by 50%.

Explore what RippleHire delivered across Tata Steel's four hiring stages.
Demand planning and request raising
RippleHire consolidated multiple steps into a single, user-friendly interface. What used to take 2 to 3 days just to initiate the process now takes minutes. Business teams gained transparency and greater efficiency - relying on the system rather than individual recruiter coordination. AI-driven demand forecasting replaced reactive, last-minute hiring with structured, quarterly planning.
Talent sourcing and screening
ATS integration across multiple job portals funneled all applications into one central point. A referral portal for internal employees eliminated repetitive posting tasks. Boolean search, AI CV-to-job matching, and generative AI for JD creation reduced sourcing effort by 66%. The entire sourcing operation moved from fragmented and manual to integrated and measurable.
Candidate assessment and selection
A Recruiter Certification Program introduced structured, consistent interviewing across all panels. Technology provided timely updates and feedback after each round - keeping candidates engaged and informed. Scheduling, assessment, and feedback capture became single-click actions. Selection process time reduced by 50%.
Offer and onboarding
The Dream Offer module created a personalized offer experience - leadership messages, culture content, and a detailed benefits breakdown for each candidate. Offer acceptance hit 96% in the first half of the financial year. Custom documentation functionality reduced completion time by over 70%. Background verification was integrated and streamlined into the same workflow.
