UK’s Bristol University implements Lumesse TalentLink 12 to attract top academics and professionals

Solution to help reduce administration for HR staff, cut the long term costs of talent acquisition and management and enable a more holistic resourcing process

Lumesse, a global leader in integrated talent management solutions, today announced that the UK’s University of Bristol will shortly be implementing Lumesse TalentLink 12 to increase the efficiency of its candidate recruitment system and contend for talent in an increasingly competitive academic environment.  Lumesse TalentLink 12 will help the University to source the right academic professionals and staff, not only in the UK, but on an International scale, helping it to maintain its global reputation and position within the top 30 of the QS World University Ranking1.

Lumesse TalentLink 12’s intuitive app-based technology will provide the University with a career portal that will enable internal and external candidates to track their application status, helping to significantly reduce the administrative burden for HR staff and costs associated with talent acquisition and management in the long term. Lumesse TalentLink will also help the University of Bristol to identify the best channels, both social and traditional, through which to recruit top quality talent.

“The implementation of Lumesse TalentLink 12 is part of our employee and candidate strategy to ensure we stay ahead of the curve for talent acquisition in a highly competitive market,” said Eddie Procter, resourcing manager in HR at University of Bristol. “However, recruitment is only part of our people strategy. We want to be able to ensure we have a fully-joined up resourcing process that helps our employees throughout their career paths. Our aim is to increase people motivation and improve succession planning within the University.”

Lumesse CEO Matthew Parker commented: “This is a great example of how the integrated talent management technology in Lumesse TalentLink drives business benefits for our customers both in the short term by helping them acquire the right talent and in the long term through succession planning and increased cost savings.”
