Transforming recruitment at Macmillan Cancer Support

For a well-recognised charity of Macmillan’s standing, it’s essential that the candidate experience reflects the Macmillan brand from first contact, right through to hire – after all, candidates can also be people affected by cancer. However, for years Macmillan had a candidate and hiring manager experience that was less than ideal. Faced with an ambitious organisational growth plan but with no in-house team to deliver it, change was needed. This presentation will take you on the journey that Macmillan’s in-house team have been on through to where they are today and the impact they have achieved.
