Their Story

Seven is Australia’s leading broadcast network and is part of Seven West Media. Seven West Media is one of Australia’s most prominent media companies, reaching more than 19 million people a month with a market-leading presence in content production across broadcast television, publishing and digital.

With Seven expanding its national teams at a rapid pace, the need for top tech talent both at a small and large level was crucial for their growth.

The Challenge

Despite a candidate-short market, Seven was in the midst of business-critical projects that were requiring timely fulfilment of many niche and highly technical roles.

With a lack of capacity and capability within the existing Talent Acquisition function, Seven called on Solve for their tech hiring expertise, knowledge of the hiring market and relationships with candidates to fill these hard-to-place roles.

The Hiring Plan

Sourcing skilled candidates in this market was the biggest priority with a focus on proactively headhunting candidates. The team at Solve were rapidly deployed in an onsite/offsite embedded recruitment delivery model and had the right sourcing tools, an extensive database and network allowing this to come to life.

Being strong brand ambassadors was a key requirement of Seven's, and that any team member speaking with candidates represented the brand authentically.

Transparent reporting was introduced on the progress of roles which was extremely beneficial to the team.

The Result

• We successfully sourced and placed quality candidates across all tech and digital hiring, such as UX, scrum and development disciplines.
• All roles were filled ahead of schedule across permanent, contractor and fixed term hiring needs.
• Solve outperformed the time to fill SLA by more than 20%.
• We delivered a comparative cost saving of over $60,000.
• When Seven's ATS went down, we stepped in to adapt processes and mitigate the business impact.
