For Tergooi MC, a leading Dutch teaching hospital, recruitment is about more than just filling positions. In a high-stakes environment, lives depend on having the right people in the right roles at the right time.
With over 2,600 employees serving 250,000 residents in the Gooi and Vechtstreek region, the hospital needed a recruitment process that was optimized for finding and hiring the most qualified candidates. Their existing applicant tracking system (ATS) was difficult to use and had become a bottleneck for efficient hiring. Tergooi needed a platform that could help them make smarter hiring decisions, expand talent pools for hard-to-fill positions, and offer an intuitive experience for both recruiters and hiring managers. That search led them to Jobylon.
The high-stakes challenges of healthcare recruiting
Like many healthcare providers, Tergooi faced a growing challenge: filling specialized roles in a tight labor market. Positions like operating assistants and specialized nurses were difficult to hire for, but absolutely essential to keeping the hospital running and delivering high-quality care.
For Tergooi, where the right hire could mean the difference between life and death, being able to efficiently hire for competence was not an option.
An outdated ATS added to the challenge, making routine recruitment tasks unnecessarily difficult. Hiring managers and recruiters voiced frustration with the system—it was hard to use, slowed down the process, and made hiring feel more complicated than it needed to be.
Finding the right ATS: Why Tergoi chose Jobylon
Tergooi began their search for a new ATS by turning to peers in their network and looking at what other hospitals were using. Through these conversations and a series of demos, they discovered Jobylon. The platform stood out for its design and functionality, but also the responsiveness of the Jobylon team.
What made the difference: Ease of use and dedicated support
The decision to ultimately choose Jobylon came down to three main factors: usability, efficiency, and support.
“Everyone can work with Jobylon without any introduction,” said Eline, a recruiter at Tergooi. The platform’s intuitive layout and minimal learning curve meant the entire recruitment team and hiring managers could start using it almost immediately. Compared to their previous system, tasks required fewer clicks, navigation was simpler, and complaints about the system stopped.
Just as important to the buying decision was the speed and clarity of the implementation process. From day one, Tergooi felt supported. Weekly check-ins kept the project on track, with responsibilities and roles clearly defined from the start. Support was fast and responsive. Whether via email or live chat, the team was always available to answer questions as they came up. “We always got answers quickly, and the tone was kind and professional,” Eline added. With that level of support, the team was able to hit the ground running and transition smoothly from their previous system.
Recruitment after implementation
Since switching to Jobylon, Tergooi has noticed a clear improvement in how recruitment runs across the hospital. Recruiters and hiring managers are quickly onboarded, and it's now easier to find top talent and fill highly specialized roles that were once difficult to fill.
And the internal feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. “We no longer get complaints about the system. Reporting, collaboration, and daily recruiting tasks have all become easier and more efficient" said Eline.
Results and benefits
Implementing Jobylon's ATS has delivered several important benefits for Tergooi:
- An easy to use system that requires minimal training
- Tools that help broaden talent pools for critical, but hard-to-fill roles in healthcare
- No more complaints from users across the recruitment process
- A smooth implementation process and responsive, ongoing support
