The Challenge

Siloed HR systems

Squarespace is the leading online tool for building and publishing websites, supporting over 2 million websites. In 2015, Squarespace was entering a rapid growth phase and needed to focus on attracting and retaining top talent. But since their HR data was stored in separate systems, their HR team was struggling to create holistic reports that could provide valuable insights and drive their decision-making. With recruiting data in Greenhouse, employee data in UltiPro, and facilities data in a facilities system, reporting on data across systems was tedious and manual. Squarespace needed a better way to connect their HR systems and improve their analysis, so they could focus on scaling and expanding the business.

THE SOLUTION

Connected HR datasets

In 2017, Squarespace used One Model’s people analytics platform to connect their Greenhouse, UltiPro, and facilities data and automatically report across all HR systems. By centralizing key data like Candidate ID, Application ID, and Requisition ID in One Model, Squarespace can answer critical business questions like:

Where did Squarespace source the highest performing employees?
Do employees sourced by certain recruiters stay with Squarespace longer?
Does the recruiting experience influence the employee’s first year with the company?

One Model’s robust catalogue of recruiting and retention metrics and advanced, role-based security empowered Squarespace to create customized reports and datasets and easily share them with key stakeholders, including executives, managers, payroll, HRBPs, benefits, finance, and facilities teams.

THE RESULTS

Better talent decisions

Squarespace’s partnership with One Model allowed them to successfully scale their people analytics program and open up key insights involving recruiting and retention metrics during this high-growth period. Squarespace has nearly doubled their headcount since then, so their foresight to enlist One Model has proven essential. This increased visibility not only impacted their recruiting process, but helped them see the value in the power of integrated systems in other areas as well. “The past few years, we’ve dreamed of connecting all of our people data,” says Nick Reyland, Squarespace People Tech Operations Lead. “Today, we’re well underway and already seeing an impact on our business.”
