The Challenge
Key Stats
New hires: 100+
Average turnaround – 4 days for interim and 3 weeks for permanent
Interview to hire ratio 3.5 -1
Savings 40%
The Solution
Following the successful delivery of a new contact management platform for 999 calls, new data centre’s and an Office 365 implementation we put a project plan together to recruit over 50 full time employees to replace the interim consulting team over the next 12 months.
This solution includes:
Helping TVP to understand what makes someone an unsuitable hire and which enables us to define what we should be looking for in excellent hires.
Understanding the competencies (knowledge, skills, abilities, attitudes and behaviours) that will allow us to source only highly suitable candidates.
Building a standard assessment methodology using their competencies to predict high performing candidates.
Implemented video interviewing to streamline interview process moving from 3 / 4 stages to 2.
Created a sourcing framework and questionnaire for all applicants to ensure they would be able to pass vetting should they be hired.
