Dolby creates products for the entertainment ecosystem. They had a robust project pipeline and plans for global expansion. But no plan in place to connect newly generated career opportunities to internal talent. This had to change.

About

• $1.1 billion – 2019 revenue
• 2,500+ employees
• Presence in 20 countries

The challenge

• High attrition rates
• Lack of internal career opportunities
• High reliance on external contractors
• Low skills mapping of talent

Key components of solution

• Partner with Hitch for an internal talent mobility solution
• Build fluid project teams
• Lesser reliance on external contractors
• Cut down hiring costs
• Visibility on employee skills

Everybody can see every opportunity, and you can even see how many people viewed the opportunity and how many people applied. That’s one of things I really love about it is the transparency. It is interesting to see patterns and the collaborations with IT and engineering, those are already happening and those opportunities for work were not visible to anyone else before this.
