Case Study: Mouchel achieves over 50% reduction in cost-per-hire and 65% faster time-to-hire with Lumesse Talent Management

Mouchel Enhances its Approach to Attracting and Retaining Graduates and Develops a Recruitment Excellence Programme

Mouchel, a UK consulting and business services group of around 11,000 employees, faced an inefficient, paper- and spreadsheet-driven HR process and multiple disparate systems as graduate applications and hires scaled rapidly. The company needed to modernize recruitment, compensation and talent management to clear administrative backlogs, improve candidate experience and give managers a clearer view of talent across the organisation.

Mouchel implemented Lumesse Talent Management with a customised compensation planning module and supported adoption through business champions, training for 1,000 line managers and embedded e‑recruitment administrators. The programme halved cost-per-hire to £1,500, reduced time-to-hire from 10 weeks to 3.5 weeks, cut agency use from 60% to 40%, improved diversity monitoring, launched a branded automated careers site and established a Graduate Academy that fast-tracks screening and onboarding.
