Case Study: Givaudan builds more inclusive hiring with Datapeople

How Givaudan Uses Digital Innovation To Build Inclusion into Recruiting

Givaudan, a global leader in fragrances and flavors, was committed to improving diversity and inclusion in its hiring, with specific goals for gender balance in leadership. Their challenge was attracting a more diverse pool of applicants, particularly more women, at the top of their recruiting funnel. They sought a solution to make their job ads more inclusive and effective to create a better first impression for candidates unfamiliar with their brand. The company turned to the vendor Datapeople and its platform to address this challenge.

By implementing Datapeople's analytics-based platform, Givaudan empowered its recruiters to write more inclusive and on-brand job descriptions. The solution provided immediate feedback through job scores, which were integrated into recruiter KPIs. This gamified approach, supported by a network of internal champions, led to more effective job ads that opened up the candidate funnel. As a result, Datapeople helped Givaudan attract a higher number of quality candidates and build higher-quality pipelines, directly supporting their diversity and inclusion objectives.
