Their Story

As Australia's number 1 Out of Home company, oOh! was navigating through an exciting phase of rapid growth. To tackle the challenges of scaling up while maintaining top-notch quality, they turned to Solve for support.

The Challenge

During the period of rapid growth, oOh!’s leaders were spending valuable time on recruitment, disrupting their own ability to work. They needed a reliable partner who could deliver quality hires at scale, whilst maintaining their high standards. That’s where Solve stepped in.

Here’s some of the challenges we helped solve.

• oOh!’s leaders were stretched thin, with significant reliance to self-manage recruitment, this was disrupting their own ability to work and taking time away from their everyday tasks.
• There was limited media sales expertise within the existing Talent Acquisition (TA) function.
• Limited access to sourcing tools and capabilities
• They required a flexibility framework that could scale support up, down or off at short notice.

Our Solution

In response to oOh!’s urgent growth and hiring requirements, the Solve team came into the picture. With our strong track record in embedded recruitment and a knack for rapidly scaling organisations with the top talent, we became the ideal partner to tackle Ooh!’s challenges. Our tailored solution we provided included the following:

• We provided an embedded onsite TA Partner with deep industry expertise who integrated seamlessly into oOh!’s existing team, taking charge of go-to-market hiring.
• Our approach focused on delivering a high-touch experiences for candidates, removing the time burden from sales leaders, creating a more positive experience for all.
• With our team of expertise in the industry and an eye for quality meant we could un earth the very best candidates that aligned with oOh!’s technical requirements and company culture.
• We eliminated reliance on external agencies, expanding access to a wider candidate market pool, saving oOh! money, and strengthening their employer brand.

The Impact

Initially, oOh! Engaged with Solve for a 3-month engagement to supercharge their hiring process. However, due to the efficiency, expertise, and high-quality hires we brought to the table, this engagement was extended three times! Here’s how we made an impact:

• Huge cost savings: Our solution led to an average fee of less than 4%!
• Expectational candidate quality: We maintained an impressive rate of fewer than 3 interviews per hire
• Increased capacity: We successfully delivered 131 hires in just 12 months.
• Enhanced efficiency: Time to hire was reduced to just 13 days, well below the Australian benchmark of     44 days.
• Diversity focus: 68% of new hires are female.
