Case Study: M&S achieves 40% faster recruitment and improved candidate quality and diversity with Oleeo Recruiting Enablement

Why M&S Uses Oleeo Recruiting Enablements

M&S turned to Oleeo and its Oleeo Recruiting Enablement platform to tackle slow, inconsistent hiring and unconscious bias in candidate selection. The retailer needed faster, fairer, and higher‑quality selection decisions across its assessment centres while enabling recruiters to spend more time engaging with candidates.

Oleeo implemented an AI-driven scoring system that evaluates thousands of application data points to identify top predictors of success, cutting recruitment time by about 40%, improving candidate quality by up to 16%, and increasing ethnic diversity of interviewees by at least 48%. Oleeo’s solution also helps reduce adverse impact and allows M&S to progressively enhance algorithms by adding post‑hire performance data for ongoing improvement.
