Case Study: University of East Anglia achieves faster, more inclusive recruitment with Eploy

University of East Anglia Deliver Outstanding Impact Transformation Across Recruitment and Talent Acquisition

The University of East Anglia (UEA) needed to replace an inefficient, manual recruitment process that relied on email, lacked candidate visibility, and made it hard to track data, while also struggling to attract enough academic talent in a competitive market. UEA selected Eploy ATS to modernize recruitment and create a more streamlined, candidate-friendly experience.

Eploy implemented a fully automated recruitment platform with configurable workflows, candidate self-service, tailored application forms, onboarding, and real-time reporting dashboards. The results were strong: 2,061 registrations and 1,466 applications in the first two weeks, a 109% increase in applications, average candidates per role rising from 13.5 to 39, and Time to Hire cut to 43 days, a 15% reduction.
