Housr Slashes Hiring Time by 74%

Housr is revolutionising the off-campus living experience for students in the UK and US through its innovative app. With a growing team and ambitious plans, Housr needed a solution to overcome its manual and disjointed recruitment processes.

Challenges Before Screenloop

When Matt, a fractional talent partner, joined Housr, recruitment was entirely managed by hiring managers without a structured process in place. Applications were reviewed in inboxes and tracked in isolated Google Sheets, leading to inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and delays in hiring top talent.

“There was a lot of kind of manual heavy lifting involved, and they were struggling to hire good people quickly,” Matt recalls.

As Housr embarked on an ambitious hiring drive, Matt recognised that an ATS was essential for scaling recruitment, improving efficiency, and delivering a better candidate experience.

Why Screenloop?

After evaluating multiple ATS providers, including two competitors, Housr chose Screenloop for its automation capabilities, AI-driven tools, and exceptional customer support.

“Screenloop was the preferred option,” Matt explains. “The other two providers… I sent through a request and didn’t get a response for about five days. It was pretty shocking.”

Matt highlighted the importance of Screenloop’s responsive and transparent customer success team. “I worked with Saoirse in your customer success team. She’s brilliant… I felt like, okay, I can definitely work with this person.”

Implementation and Experience

Housr’s implementation of Screenloop was seamless and supported by award-winning customer success. The platform quickly centralised recruitment workflows, eliminating the need for spreadsheets and manual processes.

“The product’s been cost-effective. It’s done everything that we’ve asked it to do and wanted it to and expected it to do,” Matt notes.

Favourite Features

Screenloop’s AI Notetaker emerged as a standout feature, transforming interview management and decision-making:

“The AI Notetaker is awesome. It saves us hours… It removes the human bias, the emotional element that sometimes comes with an interview, and it makes everything really objective, really transparent, and fair.”

The platform’s automation capabilities also allowed Matt to focus on high-value activities, such as providing a great candidate experience and advancing top talent.

Results and Impact

The results have been transformative:

• Time-to-Hire: Reduced from over 50 days to just 13 days.

• Time-to-Fill: Cut from 50+ days to 20 days.

“Across like the four months that we’ve been working with Screenloop, we’ve gone from no metrics… to looking at 13 days time-to-hire, 20 days time-to-fill,” Matt shares.

Looking Ahead

With Screenloop, Housr has laid the foundation for rapid growth. The time saved and efficiency gained are enabling the team to focus on doubling the business in the coming year.

“Having these processes in play now, it’s going to allow us to flourish with hopefully doubling the business going into next year,” says Matt.

As an external talent partner, Matt plans to bring Screenloop to future clients, confident in its ability to deliver exceptional results.

Conclusion

Screenloop has empowered Housr to transform its recruitment process, save time, and hire exceptional talent. For growing businesses like Housr, it’s not just an ATS—it’s a partner in scaling success.

“It’s reduced everything down… and the people we’ve hired are awesome.”
