Why Hetero Needed a Change

At a 23,000+ person mega-enterprise spanning corporate and plant teams, Hetero’s recruitment function couldn’t keep pace with the business. Requisitions took 5–15 days to clear. Interviews were delayed by up to three days due to manual screening and scheduling.

Hiring managers had no self-service path, internal talent pools went underused, and leadership had no real-time analytics to drive decisions. Hetero needed to rebuild talent acquisition around speed, ownership, and intelligence.

The Shift: From Manual Recruitment to Analytics-Led TA
