Transforming recruitment for 2 retail giants
Some of the biggest employers in retail and hospitality use Tribepad as a springboard for fairer, faster, better recruitment.
If your candidates have worked a shop floor, served a sausage roll, manned a check-out, or assembled a sandwich, there’s a good bet they’re applied for jobs through our recruitment platform.
Tribepad has heaps of functionality to make volume recruitment faster and more efficient while protecting the candidate experience. Keep reading to learn how we helped two retail giants – Tesco and One Stop – transform their volume hiring.
Tribepad and Tesco: reforming retail recruitment
Measured by gross revenue, Tesco are the world’s third largest retailer, with The stores in 7 countries across Europe and Asia, the company employs around 350,000 people in around 5000 stores, and around 200,000 staff here in the UK.
Tesco first started using Tribepad’s recruitment software in 2014 — so for nearly a decade, we’ve supported the Tesco team to process an average of 2.6 million applications annually.
We also work with One Stop, an independently-operating subsidiary of Tesco since 2003. One Stop is a retail convenience business with over 1000 shops across the UK. One Stop use Tribepad for their end-to-end recruitment.
The team at Tribepad have made our life so easy, from design and concept through to a very successful implementation. The team are fantastic to work with, efficient, keeping it simple and doing all of the hard work behind the scenes to help us realise our careers and opportunities vision.
I have been in the HR team for One Stop for 3 years and without a doubt, this has been the most efficient project with the most positive impact across the store teams.
One system for speedy, seamless hiring that’s better for everyone
Before working with Tribepad, Tesco’s recruitment team were using multiple systems to manage, process, and track applicants. It was near-impossible at this speed and scale.
Tesco needed a single system to manage the recruitment process, plus a simpler, speedier, self-service way for candidates to apply for roles.
Now, with Tribepad’s enterprise recruitment software, Tesco has a totally streamlined recruitment workflow. Everything happens through Tribepad, which makes life far, far easier both for recruiters and candidates.
One massive improvement has been that candidates can now create and apply for multiple jobs using one quick profile. Before using Tribepad, Tesco’s candidates had to create a new account for every job they wanted to apply for — not an ideal candidate experience. And, most likely, a major driver for incomplete applications.
Even in high volume recruitment, attracting applications is critical to better hiring – provided you have the right recruitment software to help you filter the cream of the crop quickly.
The more candidates you pull into your funnel, the better the hiring decisions you get out the other end. And ultimately, the less time and money you spend on recruitment, re-recruitment, and re-re-recruitment.
Smart real-time data and recruitment reporting
As a market leader in the hugely competitive retail industry, it’s safe to say Tesco are masters of data. But data analytics doesn’t just apply to customer behaviours and product trends.
It’s also critical for retailers to maintain a high-level of scrutiny over the hiring function, to ensure you’re bringing the right people into the business to support continued success.
When Tesco first spoke to Tribepad in 2014, getting a better tool for analysing recruitment data was a major driver for working together. Recruiters needed to report on the entire hiring process and identify areas for improvement across an enormous range of roles and business units.
Our recruitment software provides real-time data about every element of Tesco’s recruitment, pulling the numbers into engaging, easy-to-understand reports and graphs.
Armed with accurate recruitment data, Tesco’s recruiters can now quickly spot where things go well (repeat them!) and areas for improvement (tweak them!).
With Tribepad, the team can make informed decisions to focus on the areas that have the most impact in the people and business metrics that matter. Sounds like a win to us.
Tribepad is the trusted tech ally to smart(er) recruiters everywhere. Combining ATS, CRM, Video Interviewing, and Onboarding, our talent acquisition software is a springboard for fairer, faster, better recruitment for everyone.
Trusted by retail and hospitality recruitment teams like Pizza Hut, KFC, Subway, Tesco, Superdry, Compass Group, Sodexo, Carpetright, Sofology, and Card Factory, 25 million people in 16 languages use Tribepad.
