Three examples of how our approach applies to common hiring challenges in Africa.
The challengeShortlist thousands of mobile applicants on expensive data, quickly and fairly, without skewing the list on race, gender or disability.
What you getA ranked shortlist, feedback reports for every applicant, and a fairness check of the shortlist by designated group.
What we measureWe track time to shortlist, cost per hire, completion rate on mobile, and whether the shortlist reflects the applicant pool by designated group.
The challengeHire personal bankers who sell and stay, to the same standard in Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana.
What you getOne hiring standard across all three countries, manager-ready reports, and a country-by-country comparison of hire quality.
What we measureWe track products sold per banker in the first twelve months, 12-month retention, and consistency of hire quality across countries.
The challengeKeep strong graduates in the process long enough to make an offer before other employers do.
What you getFaster offers, a shortlist for each stream, and a live view of completion at every stage.
What we measureWe track completion rates at each stage, time from application to offer, and offer-acceptance rate against competing hospitals.
