“In Altamira Recruiting, we found the right mix of customization and usability, making it an efficient tool accessible to all types of users.”
Marco Cremascoli
Head of Organization and Development
Brivio & Viganò is an Italian company with a rich history spanning over 40 years. Founded by Luigi Brivio and Giovanni Viganò, it started as a modest venture in the distribution transport sector, equipped with just two vehicles. Today, it has evolved into a major player on both national and international stages, operating across four service areas in Italy and Spain and employing over 2,000 people.
The key to Brivio & Viganò’s success lies in a straightforward yet powerful philosophy: “Earning the customer’s trust is our priority.” This commitment to reliability has made the company a trusted partner across various sectors. From retail and HoReCa to the food industry and beyond, companies rely on Brivio & Viganò’s proven reliability to handle their transport, logistics, e-commerce, and integrated services.
Marco Cremascoli joined Brivio & Viganò in 2017, bringing a wealth of experience from multinational corporations and consulting firms, particularly in recruitment, development, and organizational management. Tasked with building the Organization and Development Department from the ground up, Marco’s role encompassed everything from recruitment and organizational development to HR assessment, training, rewards, internal communications, employer branding, and HR digital transformation.
The Challenge
When Marco Cremascoli joined Brivio & Viganò, the recruitment function was still in its formative stages. His immediate priority was to establish a solid foundation by creating well-defined processes and procedures while simultaneously building a capable team.
With this groundwork in place, the next step was to digitalize the recruitment process to enhance efficiency and scalability. As the company was undergoing rapid growth, the recruitment team needed to keep pace and support this expansion effectively.
Brivio & Viganò initiated a comprehensive software evaluation, exploring a wide range of providers. Having previously relied on Excel to manage many of their processes, the primary challenge was to identify a recruiting software solution that offered the level of customization necessary to seamlessly transition these manual workflows into an automated, digital environment.
The Solution
Brivio & Viganò selected Altamira for its ability to strike the perfect balance between two essential features:
- Extensive Customization: the platform offers a high level of customization to fit specific needs, with advanced users able to make adjustments independently.
- Ease of Use: the software remains highly intuitive, making it easy to use even for recruitment professionals without technical expertise.
“Given our constantly evolving environment, we found it invaluable that Altamira integrates seamlessly with the many external tools we use, such as Power BI. Our IT team, who supported us through the process, greatly appreciated the ATS’s powerful integration and export capabilities—another key platform strength.”
The Benefits
The implementation of Altamira’s recruitment software has significantly transformed Brivio & Viganò’s talent acquisition process.
The most immediate impact was on daily operations where, previously, Excel required manual management of every step in the hiring process. Altamira’s digital workflows have automated many of these tasks, saving both time and effort, while enabling the recruitment team to manage multiple hiring processes simultaneously.
“For us, the benefit was twofold. Not only did we configure a workflow for the selection process, but we also established another one to manage the opening of new positions, bringing much-needed structure to that process as well.”
The workflows also empowered approvers and external stakeholders to participate in the selection process autonomously, lightening the load on the recruitment team.
Additionally, Altamira’s ATS centralized all candidate data and interactions in a single, unified database. This streamlined approach not only sped up the search process but also improved collaboration across departments, ensuring smoother communication and integration with other systems within the company.
Altamira’s ability to automatically post job ads on major job boards was another standout feature. This functionality allowed Brivio & Viganò to adopt a more comprehensive and structured employer branding strategy, streamlining a process that was previously time-consuming and labor-intensive when handled manually.
With Altamira Recruiting, the team now manages around 300 hiring processes and handles between 15,000 and 20,000 resumes annually.
Impressed by the successful digital transformation of their recruitment efforts, Brivio & Viganò is already exploring ways to optimize other HR functions, such as performance management, MBO, and analytics.
The Support
Reliable post-implementation support is critical for the success of any HR digital transformation, and Marco expressed his satisfaction with Altamira in this area as well.
“Altamira provided a robust help portal that allowed us to resolve most issues on our own and adjust the platform as needed. When we’ve reached out for direct support, the team responded quickly and effectively, fully meeting our needs every time.”
