“From the moment we engaged with Thomas, it felt right for us”, says the company’s Talent Acquisition Manager. “We're really happy with the service. The process was very transparent, and we felt listened to. It genuinely feels like a partnership.” What’s more, he reflects, Thomas Perform “is very flexible. We’re a corporate, complex business, and it’s a solution that works for us, but my understanding is that it could be flexed up and down, depending on the type of business that that you are. The solution itself is easy cost effective, which everyone likes, and it adds genuine value to the business.”
“At the minute, Thomas Perform is mainly adding value as part of our recruitment process. In a business such as ours with a large operational headcount, to have data to say ‘this person is the right fit for this role’ is incredibly valuable. Going forward, we're keen to offer Perform as an internal-facing option for some of our stakeholders, for instance working in conjunction with Learning and Development around things like talent mapping and succession planning. That's what we're aiming for.”
But Perform isn’t just enhancing the recruitment process for the company. For the Talent Acquisition team, it’s increasing transparency and saving time. Their Talent Acquisition Manager says, “It's also been useful to have the opportunity to sit down with each individual team member and and gain their insight into their own reports. The fact that everyone in the team can have access to manage their own projects and add candidates, rather than relying on one admin has been a real benefit for me and for my diary. It helps develop the team. I can give them more autonomy and opportunity to gain value from the psychometric reports, whereas before we had to keep that information within the management team. We really like the fact that the candidate gets the option to have the access to their own report as well. This adds an element of transparency in our recruitment process that we that we didn't have previously.”
For the logistics firm, the real value of Thomas Perform is in its simplicity. Their Talent Acquisition Manager says, “The platform is incredibly easy to use, which is one of the most important considerations for us. The user interface is intuitive, clean and accessible. I think that's reflected in the reports as well. They're visual yet detailed, and easy to digest without needing to be a psychologist. That's really set Perform apart from previous solutions. Ultimately, I'd recommend it.”
