Case Study: Newton Europe increases graduate applications by 73% and halves screening time with Oleeo

Optimising the newton europe graduate recruitment experience

Newton Europe, an Oxford-based operational performance improvement specialist that recruits operational, procurement and business technology consultants, needed a scalable applicant tracking solution to fill crucial graduate roles faster and with better quality hires. Facing goals to double offers, increase applications and completely overhaul their recruitment process, Newton Europe chose Oleeo’s Recruiting Enablement Platform to modernize attraction, engagement and onboarding for graduates, apprentices and interns.

Oleeo implemented its Recruiting Enablement Platform end-to-end, enabling bulk vacancy processing, streamlined screening and richer candidate engagement. The results included screening time halved from 15.5 to 7.5 days, a 73% rise in applications, a jump from 57th to 37th in The Times top 100, recouping the investment within the first year, increased assessor time per candidate (4.5 to 5.5 hours), around 500 sign-ups per guerrilla event and a new 16-question, data-driven framework leading to more objective hiring decisions — all delivered by Oleeo.
