A premium, brand-aligned journey at every stage of the process
a high volume of applicants needed screening in a way that reflected Illimity’s own Employee Value Proposition and branding
A hiring process that had to feel as premium as the brand itself
Illimity needed to screen a high volume of applicants through a talent acquisition process that reflected its Employee Value Proposition and branding, giving candidates the same premium experience as its customers.
As a new-generation bank, Illimity’s brand identity is core to how it engages both customers and candidates. Its talent acquisition process needed to match that identity: fast, digitally efficient, and consistent with the experience customers already had.
At the same time, the process needed to work at volume, screening thousands of applicants without losing the personal, brand-aligned experience that mattered to Illimity, and without introducing unnecessary bias into who progressed.
One connected model, from first screen to onboarding
A fast digital screener, a bespoke interview guide, and a bespoke onboarding report, all built on Illimity’s own competency model.
Screen
A Work Strengths questionnaire acted as the initial screener, fast, online and aligned with Illimity’s need for digital efficiency, with competencies mapped to Illimity’s own model for cultural fit.
Interview
A bespoke Interview Guide used dynamic questions to verify candidates’ strengths and probe areas of potential challenge, keeping the interview stage consistent with the screening data.
Onboard
A bespoke Onboarding Report, delivered after hire, enhanced the new-hire experience and helped accelerate time to productivity.

Screened at scale, without losing the brand experience
A connected model, from screening through onboarding, let Illimity assess thousands of candidates while keeping the process consistent with its own brand and competency framework.
The Work Strengths questionnaire effectively screened more than 4,000 applicants, giving Illimity a scalable, candidate and recruiter-friendly solution at the volume the business needed.
Competencies mapped to Illimity’s own model meant every stage, from screening through the bespoke Interview Guide to the post-hire Onboarding Report, stayed consistent with the culture and brand Illimity wanted candidates to experience. Dynamic Interview Guides also helped reduce human bias, supporting a fairer, more objective process.
The screening model, by the numbers
The screening model enabled more than 4,000 applicants to be assessed effectively, combining scale with a fully rounded view of fit. Bespoke reports, powered by the Wave Strengths questionnaire, gave hiring teams evidence-led insight into each candidate, while candidates could access their own Candidate Report throughout the process. Improved process efficiency was also positively correlated with cost efficiencies. Dynamic Interview Guides supported more objective decision-making and helped reduce the influence of human bias.
