Leading Automotive Retailer

WITH A KEY OBJECTIVE TO ATTRACT MORE PEOPLE FROM THE INDUSTRY, WE WERE ENTRUSTED TO TRANSFORM THE OBJECTIVE TO REALITY.

Our transformative journey as a recruitment partner with a prestigious automotive retail business started with a bold vision – revolutionising their recruitment process to attract top talent. Prior to our partnership, the business employed a decentralised recruitment agency model. This approach led to challenges such as limited visibility into recruitment costs and an average time-to-offer of 7 weeks. 

Over time, we have delivered outstanding results, securing over 500 successful placements. We established the partnership with an initial 6-month trial period, which paved the way for an additional 6-month RPO contract. Recognising the value we brought, the contract was extended for a 3-year contract that has been continuously extended since. 

SCOPE

• Developing an innovative RPO service tailored exclusively for an automotive retail business – a first in the industry.
• Reducing time-to-hire and minimising active job openings through strategic measures.
• Conducting a comprehensive evaluation and enhancement of attraction methods, collateral and recruitment brand. 
• Cross approach of full implementation - whilst having short term impact on hiring needs.
• Crafting sustainable solutions for challenging roles.

SOLUTION

• Workshops and management meetings to educate, support, and upskill hiring managers. 
• Appoint an on-site recruitment manager to bridge the gap from recruitment to management. 
• Establish a distinctive recruitment brand, microsite, online contract portal and candidate tracking system to boost the online presence.
• Introduce a comprehensive recruitment management system covering the entire process, from requisition to contract signing.
  
  

RESULTS

• Successfully placed over 500 employees, significantly contributing to talent acquisition goals.
• Achieved an impressive 2:1 interview-to-offer ratio, streamlining the selection process.
• Delivered substantial cost savings with a remarkable 50% reduction in recruitment costs.
• Significantly reduced time-to-offer to 21 days, ensuring prompt access to top talent.

Our commitment as a recruitment partner has not only met but exceeded expectations, leaving a lasting impact on the brand's recruitment landscape.

TESTIMONIAL

“Having undertaken a thorough market analysis whilst running our recruitment review, it quickly became apparent that the offering of MBA went far beyond those of contingent agency recruiters. The partnership has deployed a heavy-hitting employer branding project, and having a dedicated resource team ensures that our recruiters live and breathe the culture, and an exceptional candidate experience. We are benefitting from numerous operational and financial efficiencies, and we look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.”
