Case Study: Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust achieves reduced vacancies and faster recruitment with Oleeo

Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust cuts time to hire by 57.2% with Oleeo

Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, a leading UK cardiothoracic hospital, faced significant recruitment challenges including high vacancy rates in nursing and support roles, a slow manual hiring process, and a lack of data visibility. To address this, the Trust partnered with vendor Oleeo to implement its modern applicant tracking system (ATS) and recruitment platform.

By implementing Oleeo's configurable platform, which featured talent banks, a CRM, and real-time dashboards, the Trust achieved dramatic results. Vacancy rates for nursing roles dropped from 13.79% to 1.45%, time-to-hire was reduced by 57.2%, and the Trust is on track to save £1.7m in agency costs. Furthermore, 97.3% of candidates rated their experience as good to excellent, and the system enabled improved equity in the hiring process.
