Case Study: Framestore CFC achieves faster hiring and a ready talent pool with Lumesse Talent Acquisition

Visual Effects Specialist Increases its Speed of Response to Applications and Creates a Pool of Future Talent

Framestore CFC, a leading visual effects and computer animation company, needed to hire large numbers of highly specialised roles in a tight talent market but was hampered by a largely paper‑based, cumbersome recruitment process. The HR team struggled with unsearchable databases, slow review of applicants (including physical showreels on DVD) and the risk of losing top candidates to faster competitors.

By implementing Lumesse Talent Acquisition and a new careers portal, Framestore CFC streamlined applications, enabled quick online showreel uploads, automated candidate communication and created a searchable talent pool. The result: faster responses to applicants (often 3–4 days ahead of competitors), far lower administrative volume, better manager collaboration in hiring and a scalable system to support ongoing growth.
