The Challenges
High demand for skilled workers & attracting fresh applicants
“Overall, we look for more than 1,200 candidates a year across our facilities, in a range of healthcare fields. To meet this demand, we need to position ourselves as a desirable employer in the market, have a permanent presence, and reach candidates through the right media.” — GRN.
Gaining points with applicants & maximizing the hiring budget
“We need to communicate the right points online to score with candidates and stand out from the competition. Personally, it was important to me to have visibility into how the chosen media were performing; were they delivering applicants. This is the best way to optimize our recruiting budget, to see what works and which media we can forget.” — GRN.
More data for more convincing applicant journeys
“It’s important for us to see at which touchpoints we need to further optimize our campaigns. Before working with VONQ we lacked the relevant data to measure and analyze key performance indicators.” — GRN.
