Case Study: Police Scotland reduces time to hire with Oleeo

Police Scotland cuts recruitment processing time from 12 weeks to 24 hrs with Oleeo

Police Scotland, responsible for policing across Scotland with over 23,000 staff and 1,900 annual hires, faced a manual and admin-heavy recruiting process. Their system, which relied on spreadsheets and SharePoint sites, was inefficient and provided a poor candidate experience. They partnered with vendor Oleeo to implement its applicant tracking system (ATS) to better manage the high volume of applications for police and police staff roles.

By implementing Oleeo's ATS, Police Scotland streamlined its entire recruitment process. The results were transformative, reducing the time to hire from six months to just three months. The vendor's solution also saved weeks of administrative work by cutting report generation time to just 1-2 hours and drastically improved the candidate experience with modern status updates. This has allowed Police Scotland to focus on ongoing candidate engagement and growing future talent.
