Challenges Faced by Go Compare
The tech space is a candidate short market. Talent attraction is more difficult and counter offers are rife as employers are working harder than ever to retain valuable expertise.
For Go Compare, all roles reported into 1 manager, and due to high workloads and reduced staff levels, they were low on available time, making logistics of interviewing problematic.
Go Compare had strict timeframes and a requirement for all new recruits to be in situ within 3 months of campaign commencement.
How Yolk Solved Them
A partnership approach - working on a retained basis allowed Yolk to commit 2 senior consultants to the campaign immediately. They worked with the wider business to ensure maximum resource against each of the vacancies.
Experts in their field - Yolk engaged the database and active candidates immediately, and the technical teams were able to quickly tap into passive networks for each of the 4 specialisms.
Know your candidates -Yolk spent time to understand candidate motivations and expectations at the start of the process, pre-empting potential counter-offers up front to minimise surprises at the back end of the process. The team supported candidates through resignation and any counter offers that arose at this stage.
Interviews, screenings & tracking - Yolk completed all first stage interviews on behalf of our client as well as specific technical screening and diversity tracking.
