class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The lowdown<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Established in 2009, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thorntonandlowe.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thornton &amp; Lowe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has grown to be one of the largest and most trusted bid management consultancies in the UK. With a tight team of 47 employees, they provide bid writing services, including an outsourced bidding function, bid recruitment services, bid reviews, bid software and bid writing courses.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We sat down with Rachel Edmundson, the Operations Support Manager, to understand the difference 91爆料 has made in transforming their employee\u2019s experience.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How it started &#8211; The need for a modernised system&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prior to 91爆料, Rachel was bogged down by admin, leaving her with little time to work on bigger projects and be strategic in her role.&nbsp;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI didn\u2019t have time to work on bigger projects because I was doing all this admin that took up hours of my day.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only did she spend large amounts of time getting new joiners up to speed on how to use the HR system, she also needed to constantly follow-up with employees to ensure they completed the necessary HR tasks like performance reviews.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The need to improve how they managed people operations pushed Rachel to look for an HR system that had more functionality and was more user-friendly.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How it\u2019s going &#8211; how we\u2019ve supported Thornton and Lowe<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The switch to 91爆料 has revolutionised people management at their workplace with significant efficiency improvements. Since implementing the platform, Rachel has got less queries than before.&nbsp;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have done some training sessions to help the team get up to speed with the new system. I haven\u2019t gotten many questions on how to use things because it\u2019s so user-friendly,\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Streamlined recruitment with an Applicant Tracking System (ATS)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an organisation that not only hires for their internal needs but also resourced for external companies, Thornton and Lowe needed a way to streamline their recruitment process.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditionally, the organisation relies primarily on direct referrals and traditional job boards like LinkedIn and Indeed for candidates. However, building a candidate pool with various candidate sources proved difficult.&nbsp;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe try to build a bit of a candidate pool, but it has been a bit all over the place. We needed to check all these different job boards and sometimes missed applications.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to streamline the entire recruitment process into just one system has been a game-changer.&nbsp;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt has definitely been much better having just one system where we can upload the job and post it onto all job boards. We can also email everyone directly and see their responses directly on the platform. It has saved me so much time and having everything in one place has made life much easier.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having just one platform for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/recruitment-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recruitment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also meant that everyone who was involved in the hiring process could be kept informed about the candidate\u2019s performance. Rachel shared, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cwe can easily see how the candidate performed in the previous stages.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Finding the perfect candidate with the help of SmartMatch<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond streamlining the recruitment process, Rachel also saw the benefit of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/smartmatch.employmenthero.com\/uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SmartMatch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in helping her find the right candidate for a niche position. Rachel remembers that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cthe role we were recruiting for was very niche and we didn\u2019t get many applicants. SmartMatch suggested a couple of candidates who were great quality matches and had the skills we needed,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe candidates suggested were probably people we wouldn\u2019t have considered straight off their resume. SmartMatch really helped as we could easily see all the essential information at a glance without having to read through the resume which can get quite cluttered. It helped us identify that the candidates had all the right skills and experience we needed for the role.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability for SmartMatch to find out a candidate\u2019s interest also proved helpful. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt helped that we could see that he has expressed interest in the role so that we are not just cold calling people like you would with an application on traditional job boards.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What also stood out to Rachel was the quality of the candidates. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat I\u2019ve noticed with SmartMatch is that although you don\u2019t get as many matches, they are all relevant. It takes away the initial filtering process that you typically have to do.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A smoother onboarding experience<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving from recruitment to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/onboarding-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">onboarding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has also been a breeze. <\/span><b><i>\u201c<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having the entire recruitment process built directly into the HR platform also means that information can be easily carried over when onboarding.<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no duplication of information and the platform also tells us when there is information missing\u201d<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI used to spend half an hour during inductions teaching going through our HR processes and the platform we used to use, but because they\u2019ve got access to it from when they are hired I no longer have to go through this process, saving me so much time.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to streamline their recruitment and onboarding experience didn\u2019t only make life easier for Rachel, it has also improved the experience for their candidates and employees.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><b><i>\u201c<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have many new joiners that have said that this is the smoothest onboarding journey they\u2019ve ever been through.<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019ve enjoyed the recruitment process, it\u2019s nice being kept updated.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A centralised platform for everything people management&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond recruitment and onboarding, the impact of 91爆料 could be felt throughout the employee\u2019s lifecycle. Rachel shared how managers now get more autonomy over managing their employees. From <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/performance-management-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">performance reviews<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and leave management to even learning and development.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a single centralised platform, employees and managers can easily access performance reviews and complete them at their own time. Tracking annual leave has also been simplified.he ability to see when everyone else is off has helped with resource management significantly.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team has also started to build out the learning and development platform. Rachel told us that, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re putting all the training we previously saved in OneDrive into an interactive training course on the platform. Line managers can also see what their employees have done.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Rachel, the implementation of 91爆料 has also meant a shift in her day-to-day at work. She no longer needs to spend countless hours on admin.&nbsp;<\/span><b><i>\u201c<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m in a more strategic role now and our team has also grown as a result. We can work on more big projects, focus on well-being and more strategic initiatives. Work has definitely been more fulfilling.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curious about how 91爆料 can help your business?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/pricing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">91爆料\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> employment OS is an all in one solution that helps businesses find and hire top talent, as well as onboard new hires, automate complex payroll and drive employee engagement.
