Case Study: a leading retailer cuts time-to-hire by 20% with PeopleScout RPO and mobile-first sourcing

Digital sourcing strategy and centralization reduced time-to-hire by 20%

A leading retailer engaged PeopleScout to address a significant candidate experience challenge. Despite being a well-known brand, the retailer relied on outdated job boards and a cumbersome 30-minute application process that could not be completed on a mobile device. This was causing them to lose a large portion of their applicants.

PeopleScout implemented a Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) solution featuring a redesigned, mobile-first application with only 11 questions, reducing completion time to under eight minutes. They also expanded the sourcing strategy with targeted digital recruitment marketing. As a result, PeopleScout helped the client achieve an 85% application conversion rate and reduce their time-to-hire by 20%.
