Chalhoub Group uses candidate data to brand, source and hire e-commerce talent
SUCCESS STORY
Chalhoub Group is a leading partner for luxury goods across the Middle East. Faced with the challenges of COVID-19 and reduced traffic to brick-and-mortar locations, the Chalhoub Group expedited their e-commerce strategy. This shift in strategy required their recruitment team to quickly source and hire needed technical talent. Using talent pool data and insights on employer value propositions, recruiters successfully located and hired critical roles.
THE CHALLENGE
Quickly find ecommerce talent
Expediting the Chalhoub Group’s ecommerce strategy also meant expediting the company’s recruitment demands for more technical talent. Recruiters were in need of talent pool data and insights into what company qualities attracted candidates the most.
THE SOLUTION
Data-driven branding and recruitment
With the help of LinkedIn Talent Insights, the recruitment team at Chalhoub Group was able to discover which areas of Europe and the Middle East were populated with the technical skills needed to bring more of the company’s business online. They also used Employer Value Proposition data to structure their employer branding messaging to candidates. Equipped with these insights, recruiters were able to push back on hiring criteria and properly set expectations with hiring managers. Chalhoub Group also saved time and costs by reducing their needs for staffing agency support.
