Client Stories
Accounts from TA leaders who commissioned funnel diagnostics, source audits, and charting workshops.
The diagnostic review surfaced that our campus hires were counted in the same funnel as experienced engineers. Once Min-jun split the cohorts, our VP finally saw why time-to-fill looked worse in March than November.
— Ji-woo Han, TA Manager, precision components manufacturer, Daejeon
We asked for source charts only. Hye-jin pushed back gently and included referral approval lag—turned out to be half our delay. Report was dense but readable; our CHRO kept the appendix.
— Robert Ellis, Regional Recruiting Lead, logistics group, Incheon
The workshop helped our coordinators build monthly charts without waiting for my spreadsheet every Friday. Sung-woo was patient with our messy ATS export. I wish we had done this two years earlier—though honestly the first session ran long because we had too many questions.
— Yuna Seo, Head of Talent Acquisition, regional healthcare network, Suwon
Monthly briefing retainer pays for itself when I walk into headcount with updated stage charts. One month the data handoff was late on our side and the call felt thin—that was on us, not Dogwood.
— Marcus Chen, Recruiting Operations Director, semiconductor supplier, Pangyo
Case: Manufacturing TA team, 38 open requisitions
A Chungcheongnam-do manufacturer engaged us for a full diagnostic review in autumn 2025. Their TA director suspected job board spend was inefficient but lacked stage-level evidence.
We found screen-to-interview conversion healthy for referrals and employee networks but weak for two paid boards where applicants rarely matched required certifications. Time-in-stage charts showed interviews clustered at month-end, creating artificial backlog.
Deliverables included a 24-page report, chart appendix, and Cheonan readout with five hiring managers present. The client shifted one board budget line to an industry association posting and added a mid-month interview block. Follow-up at 90 days showed improved conversion on the affected req family—not a guarantee we promise, but the outcome they reported.
Case: Logistics group source audit
A Greater Seoul logistics firm needed source comparison before renewing agency contracts. Two-week remote audit covered six sources and included cost-per-hire overlays where finance data was available.
Referrals produced fewer applicants but higher offer acceptance. One agency channel showed strong volume with high early-stage exit after phone screen—recruiters already suspected fit issues; the chart gave them language for the contract negotiation.
