Case Study: Omnicom Media Group achieves scalable, automated competency-based hiring with Vervoe

How We’re Preparing For The New Way Of Recruiting

Omnicom Media Group, a Melbourne-based marketing and advertising group of 900+ employees, faced an unsustainable hiring process—heavy CV screening, time-consuming interviews and psychographic/cognitive tests that were unreliable and not scalable. After a two-year search for a better approach, they adopted Vervoe’s competency-based, customizable assessments to automatically issue and grade job-specific tests and give candidates a fairer chance to demonstrate on-the-job skills.

Vervoe implemented AI-assisted, competency-mapped assessments with automated candidate communications and a scalable pricing model, allowing Omnicom Media Group to bypass manual screening, reduce costs versus traditional psychometric tests, cut face-to-face contact and handle much larger applicant volumes with smaller teams. The result is faster, fairer hiring that surfaces top performers, improves candidate experience and scales to meet expected surges in applications.
