Recruitment
Winning Big
Horseshoe Casino rolled the dice with a high-tech
and high-touch RPO solution—and won.
By Lisa Rexroat-Steele
Anyone in HR knows that hiring can be a gamble. When I
joined Caesars Entertainment last year, that idea took on
special meaning. One of my first priorities was to find nearly
1,800 employees who would ensure a solid return on the
company's $400 million bet that Cincinnati would be a great
place to open up our newest Horseshoe Casino, the second
Horseshoe Casino planned for Ohio.
As one of the world's best known and most successful
gaming brands, it's obvious that we have a love of gambling.
We also have a 75-year legacy of excellence that dictates
the highest risks to be confined to the gaming floor. That
was okay by me. While I had never hired slot attendants
or dealers, I certainly had the chops to find good people.
What the organization needed was a recruiting solution
that could efficiently process the high applicant volumes
we anticipated, execute within fairly tight time frames, and
deliver a great candidate experience.
