ICYMI: Optimising talent acquisition and the onboarding process

Editor’s note

Dear readers,

Rather than relying on traditional job boards and aggregators, Securitas has been working hard to connect with sources of potential new recruits, for example, government-funded training agencies and charities which help vulnerable people back into the workplace.

Given the sudden competition, the organisation knew it needed to be much quicker in converting interested candidates into new recruits, accelerating the interview process.

All the best,
