Transforming the Graduate Recruitment Process
BNP Paribas Real Estate partnered with Saville Assessment to transform their graduate recruitment process at a time when they were anticipating an increase in the number of candidates applying for the Commercial stream following a merger.
The Challenge
The new way of assessing applicants needed to:
- have a strong focus on candidate experience to remain competitive in the graduate market
- be efficient and scalable to avoid spending countless hours manually screening CVs
- promote diversity and not adversely impact any candidates
- be as cost efficient as possible
- be fair and objective
The Solution
We designed an assessment solution, which included implementation of our Swift Analysis Aptitude test and Work Strengths behavioral questionnaire.
The Process Involved
Focus groups with current graduates and stakeholders to really understand the critical behaviors required for the Commercial graduate role.
New technology implementation
of our ‘Role Fit app’, which uses a smart algorithm to calculate a job fit score based on a candidate’s questionnaire completion.
Benefits To The Organization
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
No adverse impact found for Gender and Ethnicity for each of the online assessments.
Higher proportion of female candidates at the Assessment Center stage compared to previous cohort.
Quality
Highly robust and predictive screening assessments ensured an increased quality of candidates were going through to the video interview stage.
Engagement
- The first stage, which was the aptitude test, had a 92% completion rate.
- The next stage, the behavioral questionnaire, saw a 98% completion rate.
Efficiency
Approximately 150 hours were saved by removing the manual CV sift and moving to online assessments, equating to a month’s work.
Cost
The equivalent of a month’s salary was saved introducing online assessments and avoiding manual CV sifting.
