Aurora Fashions, the name behind some of the UK’s most
respected woman’s fashion brands, Coast, Oasis and Warehouse has launched an Applicant Tracking and Talent Acquisition System provided by award winning company Changeworknow.
With over 1250 stores in 398 countries the group has implemented
an integrated solution to be used by all brands which will enable the organisation
to have full visibility of recruitment
activity across the group. With better management information to inform a direct
sourcing strategy this will enable cost savings to be achieved.
Driven by the need to manage volume, build a talent pool and
give candidates a really good hiring experience candidates are guided through
an online process that is all about engaging those candidates who will be a good
fit for the individual brands. By
using tailored and specific screening and sifting questionnaires which give candidate’s
immediate feedback will result in more qualified and suitable applicants
therefore enabling the recruitment team to save time dealing with unsuitable
candidates.
The progressive system will allow the organisation to build
up a well qualified talent pool, spot high potential employees immediately and
provide internal managers with an improved level of service.
“We are delighted to
be working with a high street brand that is passionate about delivering a first
class recruitment process and puts the candidate journey at the heart of that process.
This is so important for retailers as their applicants could also be their customers”,
says Lisa Proctor, Director of Changeworknow. “Aurora have put in place a solution that will make a great difference
for candidates, internal managers and
recruiters”.
