Case Study: Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd achieves faster hires and lower recruitment costs with CIPHR

Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd - Customer Case Study

Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) is a UK-based leader in small satellite missions with 30+ years’ experience and over 500 employees. Facing a major recruitment drive, they were managing applications through Outlook, which led to lost communications, inconsistent CV formats, no searchable jobs database, slow responses and lengthy time-to-hire.

CIPHR delivered a single recruitment database with online, standardized applications, a talent-pool for future hires and an agency portal, streamlining shortlisting and communication. The result: reduced reliance on agencies and lower recruitment cost, time-to-hire cut from 80–100 days to 40–60 days, and in 11 months the team published 120 vacancies, received 3,789 applications, ran 638 interviews and made 196 offers; recruiters also found the system intuitive with minimal training.
