Case Study: Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police achieve 90-day faster hiring and streamlined recruitment with Oleeo

Helping Warwickshire Police And West Mercia Police Authorities Effectively Staff Across The Regions

Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police formed a strategic alliance to deliver policing across both force areas and faced the twin challenges of shrinking budgets and the need for a more efficient, consistent recruitment process. To modernize hiring from advert to start date they selected Oleeo and its Oleeo Recruiting Enablement Platform for Police to provide a robust, candidate-facing system that would improve first impressions and streamline regional recruitment.

Oleeo implemented a configurable recruiting platform that automated attraction through onboarding, resulting in 98% of applications received online, an average reduction of about 90 days in time-to-hire (from up to six months to roughly 2–3 months), and very high candidate satisfaction (98% would encourage others, 95% would apply again). The Oleeo solution also delivered lower recruitment costs, higher-calibre applicants, faster progression to interview, reduced administration and greater consistency across the forces.
