Case Study: Matalan improves recruitment efficiency with Eploy

Matalana- Customer Case Study

Matalan, a major UK fashion and homeware retailer, faced a significant challenge after a major internal restructure. With a recruitment team halved in size and an outdated, inefficient career portal, the company needed a modern recruitment software solution from a vendor like Eploy to improve functionality, streamline processes, and enhance the candidate experience.

Eploy implemented a new web-based recruitment system for Matalan, headlined by the newly launched "matalan.jobs" career portal. This solution offered automated CV data extraction, mobile compatibility, and a vendor portal for agencies. The results were substantial, with 25,000 candidates registering and 15,000 applications submitted within the first six months. Eploy also helped Matalan achieve a 12-week recruitment turnaround for new stores, an 87% reduction in agency fees, and a 20% reduction in time to hire.
