Case Study

How recruitment agency BOLD People increased its talent pool and placements with The Selection Lab

Challenges

Scarcity in the labour market caused BOLD People to struggle to fill all openings at a Dutch bank where a bachelors degree was a requirement.
Banks did not dare deviate from their education requirement for candidates without some form of evidence.
This excluded (unfairly) many candidates.

Solutions

In collaboration with The Selection Lab, BOLD People was able to demonstrate that candidates have a higher educational level (even if they did not have a bachelor degree).
As a result, the bank relaxed the hard requirement for a bachelors degree to demonstrate they had a sufficient intelligence level.
As a result, BOLD People had a larger candidate pool at their disposal and could place >10% more candidates.

The number of successful placements increased by more than 10%.

The quality of applicants remained as high as before.

Substantial time savings through high user-friendliness.

‘We are very satisfied. The tool is very user-friendly and because of the affortable pricing, we also save a lot in costs.’
