Briggs Equipment

Recruitment Challenges

With 2,000 employees and 16 group companies, Briggs Equipment required a hiring technology partner who could simplify and streamline their recruitment processes.

There was a strategic drive to maximise the number of direct hires to reduce hiring costs, reduce manual processes and ensure GDPR compliance.

Results

Utilising Talos's applicant tracking system, Briggs Equipment were able to streamline and update manual processes. Not only did this save a considerable amount of time, it also increased the speed of the hiring process, which in turn improved the candidate journey.

Removing the need for email communication about candidate progression was a huge benefit for their GDPR compliance.

By using the inbuilt multi-poster in Talos's applicant tracking system, they were able to have one point of distribution and invoicing for all their recruitment advertising, helping them to achieve 96% of hires via a direct hire approach. This helped to save them £ 1 million in agency fees over the course of just one year.

Briggs Equipment particularly liked the innovation of the applicant tracking system; everything was housed in one system, and candidate data was presented as an easily manageable shortlist.
