Their Story

As Australia's number 1 out of home media 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 are some of the challenges we helped solve.

• oOh!’s leaders were stretched thin, with significant reliance to self-manage recruitment. This was having a significant impact on productivity.
• 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 in to help. With our strong track record in embedded recruitment and a knack for rapidly scaling organisations with top talent, we were the ideal partner to tackle Ooh!’s challenges. Our tailored solution included the following:

• An embedded onsite TA Partner with deep industry expertise who integrated seamlessly into oOh!’s existing team, taking charge of go-to-market hiring.
• An approach focused on delivering a high-touch experiences for candidates, removing the time burden from sales leaders, and creating a more positive experience for all.
• Industry expertise and an eye for quality that meant we could un earth the very best candidates aligned with oOh!’s technical requirements and company culture.
• 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 and has remained in place for more than 12 months! 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.
