TalentTracker helps BandQ slash attraction costs with 70% of staff recruitment01/08/2006 11:10:00BandQ’s bespoke system is a web based application process which incorporates job based questionnaires designed to effectively spot top talent whilst providing immediate feedback to candidates. Results have already shown that at least 70% of candidates have been recruited with minimal or no attraction cost to BandQ, with the help of the TalentBank feature used within the recruiting software. The TalentBank feature is a database of potential candidates that have been pre screened against BandQ’s own business rules. Not only can a TalentBank capture speculative candidates via BandQ’s website, it can also re-route applicants who were unsuccessful in a particular application, but who could be well suited to another role or even location within the business. This feature has allowed BandQ to build its library of talent for future requirements of the business. By calling on existing talent, it drastically reduces the needs for external recruitment campaigns such as press advertising. However cost is only one advantage to BandQ. With a need for recruiting seasonal staff quickly, a library of talented candidates is essential to allow the company to call on applicants as and when they need to. The system is designed to cope with high volume applications and typically processes around 300,000 applications per year. David Buchanan, Managing Director of Logical Innovations explained: “We were astounded to hear that BandQ had hired a candidate in just 25 minutes as a result of calling on the TalentBank to find a suitable applicant. By incorporating a database of potential, pre-screened applicants in your recruitment system, any business can dramatically slash the cost of advertising and time to hire.” BandQ use TalentBank in conjunction with in-store advertising to build their database of candidates and in general can interview the same day as a vacancy arises. The award winning TalentTracker® software can be supplied customised to meet the needs of individual businesses regardless of their size, and is currently being rolled out as BandQ’s dedicated recruitment system.
