Talent acquisition support during the pandemic and beyond. We partnered with a global logistics business during a challenging period, providing fast, scalable access to talent.
We helped this client to navigate hiring challenges prompted by the global pandemic and supported them through seasonal peaks in demand. But as our partnership grew, we provided increased consultative support – updating job descriptions and screening documents and creating and enhancing tracking reports. We moved quickly to keep candidates engaged, with efficient processes enabling us to source, screen, and interview candidates in an average cycle time of just 2.6 days.
Our client’s business was both navigating an unpredictable global landscape and juggling hard-to-predict talent requirements. We flexed with them, always matching their pace and scaling quickly to meet their growing needs. After early success, they expanded our remit across a greater range of skilled roles and we added to our team to meet this increased demand. Our team size tripled in the first 6 weeks of the engagement.
One of our client’s key challenges was access to accurate reporting data. We worked with them to identify the metrics that mattered to them, increasing visibility across the board, and leveraging their existing applicant tracking system (ATS) to generate greater insights. This focus on analytics helped them see their current talent more clearly and to start to predict future demand.
Although this was a fixed-term project, the organization asked KellyOCG to provide further seasonal RPO services in 2021. This engagement is underway, and we are talking to other areas of the business about extending our support further. This partnership has grown quickly and feedback from the organization is excellent. We have worked closely with stakeholders at every level of the business, from recruiters to senior leaders to grow trust and add meaningful value. We are proud of the consultative partnership we have created, particularly during such a challenging time, and we are confident that this relationship will continue to evolve.
