Case Study: Hays achieves better job search relevance and higher application conversion with Google Cloud Platform

Hays Connecting talent to opportunities

Hays, a leading global professional recruiting group, wanted to improve how its technology stack processed and analyzed large-scale recruiting data so it could deliver faster, more personalized search experiences for candidates. The company turned to Google Cloud Platform and its Cloud Talent Solution to better connect talent with opportunities and improve the relevance of job search results.

Using Google Cloud Platform’s Cloud Talent Solution, Hays gained better search quality and stronger candidate engagement. The results included nearly a 10% increase in application conversion rates, an additional 170,000 monthly searches in the UK in the quarter after migration, and nearly two-thirds of applicants saying search results were highly relevant to their backgrounds.
