The challenge: Enable HR to become data-driven
In our time, the need for successful talent acquisition and employer branding are highly important. As any other large company, the financial institution were experiencing these challenges in their day-to-day HR-operation.
The challenge became clear, when the institution’s top management decided to work strategically with KPIs across all departments in the organisation.
The HR-team had an idea about how they were performing in recruitment, but they could not really prove it. They had not worked strategically with KPIs before, and they were not sure how they should acquire KPIs and which ones they should focus on.
Looking further into the situation, it was clear that the HR-department had the following challenges:
1. Very poor data quality on how their recruitment and employer branding were performing
2. They had a lot of data, but it was not systematized or connected to the performance. It was spread across different silos
3. A large degree of manual recruitment processes that demanded a severe amount of time
4. They were too reliant on headhunters to close positions
5. The recruitment team felt they could not fully live up to the demands of the hiring managers
These challenges were starting to affect the whole organisation. HR were not in a position where they could create a recruitment-strategy and align it with the business-strategy and the employer branding campaigns. They did not have the time and the resources that were required to take their recruitment to the next level.
