TalentTracker helps B&Q slash
attraction costs with 70% of staff recruitment
Logical Innovations, UK provider of TalentTracker® online
recruitment software has been working closely with
B&Q for a number of years delivering a bespoke, online recruitment system.
B&Q’s bespoke system is a web based application process which
incorporates job based questionnaires designed to
effectively spot top talent whilst providing immediate feedback to
candidates.
Results have already shown that at least 70% of candidates have been
recruited with minimal or no attraction cost to
B&Q, with the help of the TalentBank feature used within the recruiting
software. The TalentBank feature is a database of
potential candidates that have been pre-screened against B&Q’s own
business rules.
Not only can a TalentBank capture speculative candidates via B&Q’s
website, it can also re-route applicants who were
unsuccessful in a particular application, but who could be well suited to
another role or even location within the business.
This feature has allowed B&Q to build its library of talent for future
requirements of the business. By calling on
existing talent, it drastically reduces the needs for external recruitment
campaigns such as press advertising.
However cost is only one advantage to B&Q. With a need for recruiting
seasonal staff quickly, a library of talented
candidates is essential to allow the company to call on applicants as and
when they need to. The system is designed to cope
with high volume applications and typically processes around 300,000
applications per year.
David Buchanan, Managing Director of Logical Innovations explained:
“We were astounded to hear that B&Q had hired a candidate in just 25
minutes as a result of calling on the TalentBank
to find a suitable applicant. By incorporating a database of potential,
pre-screened applicants in your recruitment
system, any business can dramatically slash the cost of advertising and time
to hire.”
B&Q use TalentBank in conjunction with in-store advertising to build
their database of candidates and in general can
interview the same day as a vacancy arises.
The award winning TalentTracker® software can be supplied
customised to meet the needs of individual
businesses regardless of their size, and is currently being rolled out as
B&Q’s dedicated recruitment system.
