Case Study: Multinational Professional Services Company saves 1,000s of recruiting hours, doubles qualified candidates and improves candidate experience with SHL

Multinational consulting giant saves 1000s of recruiting hours and improves candidate experience

Multinational Professional Services Company, a Paris‑headquartered global consulting and IT services firm that hires tens of thousands annually, was overwhelmed by applicant volume and struggled to identify candidates with the right mix of legacy and cutting‑edge technical skills. The company engaged SHL to bring objective, scalable screening to hundreds of IT roles after interviewers spent too much time on unqualified applicants and existing methods quickly became outdated.

SHL deployed a ready‑to‑use library of hundreds of IT skill assessments and Automata coding simulations, integrated with the client’s HRMS and backed by AI‑powered proctoring and anti‑plagiarism checks. The automated 10–15 minute tests and programming simulations cut candidate evaluation to days, doubled the number of qualified candidates, saved approximately 1K recruiting hours, streamlined hiring for 200+ roles, lowered recruiting costs and delivered a faster, better candidate experience.
