Case Study: TT Electronics achieves £170,000+ in agency-fee savings and centralised talent acquisition with iCIMS

TT Electronics Cuts Agency Costs and Centralises Talent Acquisition with iCIMS

TT Electronics, a UK‑headquartered provider of engineered electronics with about 5,000 employees across 27+ international locations, needed to centralise hiring as it grew through frequent acquisitions. The company faced a large skills gap for niche engineering roles, rising agency fees, and limited online visibility across key markets (US, Europe, China, Mexico, Malaysia), so it sought an applicant tracking system to standardise recruitment and reduce reliance on costly agencies.

By implementing the iCIMS Talent Acquisition Platform, TT Electronics established consistent, global recruitment processes, created a dedicated recruitment team, and improved candidate experience and visibility. iCIMS opened new candidate sources, delivered actionable metrics and GDPR‑compliant data management, and helped TT eliminate agency spend—generating more than £170,000 in savings—while providing a scalable, user‑friendly system for future growth.
