“Candidate submissions have doubled. Revenue has doubled. Making it simple and easy has created velocity and growth.”
— Pree Sarkar, CEO of UltraTalent
The Challenge: Growth created friction instead of momentum
After 15 years in recruiting, and experience with several legacy ATS systems including JobAdder, Bullhorn, and Crelate, UltraTalent had built what most teams are still working toward: a database of 30,000 to 50,000 candidates.
But instead of accelerating their work, that scale started slowing them down.
For Pree Sarkar, CEO of UltraTalent, the problem was clear:
“There is so much information… it’s very easy to get overwhelmed with rows and rows of candidate and contact data.”
What should have been an advantage became friction. The team spent more time navigating systems than moving searches forward. With so many roles, candidates, and touchpoints to manage, it became difficult to quickly understand what was happening and where to focus next.
The issue wasn’t effort or experience. It was what happens when your systems can’t keep up with your scale. Too many places to look. Too much time spent figuring things out instead of taking action.
The Solution: A workflow that made the work visible
UltraTalent didn’t need more tools. They needed clarity.
When they moved to Loxo, the biggest shift wasn’t a single feature. It was a change in how the work showed up day to day.
Pree points to Loxo’s Kanban view as a key driver of that change. Instead of digging through data, the team could finally see their work. Every role, every stage, every candidate was laid out in a way that made sense immediately.
“It’s logical. It’s visual, and it reduces the cognitive overload in your day when you are working through a process across multiple roles.”
That visibility changed how the team operated. Instead of guessing where to focus, they could quickly answer a simple but critical question:
Do we need more candidates, or do we need to engage the ones we already have?
“When you can see everything easily laid out in front of you in an organized manner, awareness instantly goes up. Planning goes up. Action goes up.”
With everything in one place, the team also eliminated the need to switch between tools. Sourcing, finding contact details, and outreach could all happen within the same workflow.
“It really reduces the time it takes from idea to contact in a matter of seconds… that becomes a real competitive advantage.”
The Result: More clarity, more speed, and 2x growth
Once the workflow became clear, performance followed.
What changed wasn’t the team’s effort. It was their ability to focus that effort in the right places, at the right time.
UltraTalent:
- Doubled their candidate submittals
- Doubled their revenue
- Started hitting record-breaking quarters
As Pree puts it:
“We have seen a doubling of candidates. We have seen a doubling of revenue… making it simple and easy is what creates velocity and growth.”
By simplifying their workflow and reducing friction, UltraTalent was able to move faster, stay focused, and turn scale into a real competitive advantage.
