“We’ve never looked back”
The challenge
Pebble hire on the basis of talent and values, and train employees in the appropriate skills afterwards. The traditional recruitment model for matching CVs to job adverts with roles and responsibilities is the opposite of what Pebble wanted. They needed a way of prioritising individual values over and above skills that can be mapped onto the job and role requirements later.
The approach
Recruitment Genius has helped Pebble to recruit candidates based on values. The way the technology works - setting up keyword searches in order to filter each applicant - allowed Pebble to enter specific key word searches and filter hundreds of applicants down to find 10 or 20 who could be contacted easily.
All CVs are ranked online so you can easily see how many applicants have applied for each job advertised. With stage ratings you can see whether you’ve reached out to an applicant or not, and if you have moved them to the interview stage or not. With an FAQ section, you can be extremely specific with what you include in the advert itself
