Case Study

We partnered with a major aviation body to manage volume recruitment across all roles and levels

Background

Our Client engaged us to establish a merit pool of 200 suitable candidates across all roles and levels. They had not completed a significant volume recruitment drive before and were seeking to partner with an expert to facilitate large numbers of applications, provide nationwide assessment services and work within tight time frames to identify talent across all role levels.

Our Solutions

Our volume and project recruitment team worked closely with the client to ensure that suitable talent could be identified to fill currently available roles, as well as to develop a 12-month merit pool for each of the eight business areas.

Bespoke application forms for each business area and role level were created, including selection criteria questions. Sourcing strategies managed by Chandler Macleod resulted in very strong outcomes, with three times as many applications being received than expected from internal and external candidates. This required the development of work sample assessments to provide an additional assessment stage to assist with facilitating an equitable and merit-based process.

The Chandler Macleod team also needed to demonstrate the flexibility and swiftness to deal with greater application numbers and assessment processes varying across business areas and role levels. With a goal to start filling positions as soon as possible, Chandler Macleod worked efficiently with the client to ensure timely closure of each job/role requisition.

Key Outcomes

We delivered:

2500 applications were received and screened
1300 work sample assessments facilitated and assessed
500+ candidates reference checked and placed in a merit pool
775 candidates attended assessment centres and interviews

The outcomes of this drive bolstered all buisiness areas and project review meetings indicated the internal recruitment team were satisfied with both the process and the merit pools delivered across all areas.
