Case Study: AtkinsRéalis achieves 30% faster candidate identification and 25% faster new-hire performance with Beamery

How AtkinsRéalis Uses A Skills-based Approach To Secure Talent That Drives World-Changing Innovations

AtkinsRéalis, an $8.6B engineering firm, struggled to compete for scarce global talent due to decentralized talent data, poor cross‑functional collaboration, highly manual processes, limited candidate engagement, and difficulty meeting diversity goals. To modernize hiring, AtkinsRéalis partnered with Beamery and its AI‑powered platform (integrated with Workday) to adopt a skills‑based approach.

Beamery implemented its Talent CRM, campaigns, candidate profiles and automation across the business, plus a UK center of excellence to drive adoption, enabling a unified, skills‑focused recruitment workflow. The results: 30% faster identification of best‑fit candidates, a 40% rise in candidate engagement scores, a 4.6x higher conversion to interviews for Beamery‑sourced candidates, and Beamery hires reaching performance milestones 25% faster.
