The Challenge Before Abode
UHY, a leading professional services firm, faced a significant challenge with a high renege rate among interns and full-time hires. Prior to adopting Abode, the firm experienced a 16% renege rate for intern hiring and an average of 12.5% for full-time hires, resulting in a loss of over $100,000. However, after implementing the Abode platform, UHY witnessed a remarkable turnaround in its hiring process, with a substantial decrease in renege rates and positive feedback from candidates.
