Case Study: Penguin Random House improves candidate experience with Applied

Penguin Random House improves candidate experience to 8.8/10 with Applied

Penguin Random House, a major multinational publishing company, sought to attract a more diverse range of candidates by creating a fairer and more inclusive recruitment experience. To meet this challenge, they partnered with Applied to implement its de-biased recruitment platform.

Using Applied's data-driven and anonymized scoring system, the company focused evaluations solely on candidate skills and experience. The platform also provided automatic feedback to every applicant. As a result, Penguin Random House improved its candidate experience score to 8.8/10, with over half of its hires being non-white, while also gaining improved data and reporting capabilities.
