Case Study: Comic Relief achieves more strategic, diverse hiring with Applied

Comic Relief boosts candidate-to-hire conversion with Applied

Comic Relief, a major UK charity, faced the challenge of managing recruitment for both permanent staff and short-term campaign project resourcing while striving to improve diversity and inclusion in its hiring processes. To address this, they implemented the Applied recruitment platform to handle their widely-differing staffing needs.

Using Applied's behavioral science approach and customizable processes, the charity was able to focus on candidate skills through role-specific questions, reducing unconscious bias. This led to more strategic hiring, a higher conversion rate from candidate to employee, and easier end-to-end candidate management for Comic Relief. The solution from Applied also provided valuable data insights to further support their diversity and inclusion goals.
