Posted on by jpatel

TACOMA, Wash.—March 2, 2023—TrueBlue is pleased to announce that its PeopleReady, PeopleScout and PeopleManagement brands have all been named Top Workplaces in the USA based on feedback from employees. This award celebrates nationally recognized companies that prioritize a people-centered culture and give employees a voice.

Companies named to the Top Workplaces USA list are chosen based solely on results gathered through an employee survey conducted by employee engagement technology partner, Energage. The research-backed employee engagement survey captures anonymous responses to statements centered around four culture imperatives—alignment, connection, coaching and performance. Survey results are compared to benchmarks established from more than 16 years of data from 27 million employee surveys across 70,000 organizations.  

“As The People Company, our employees are our greatest strength, and we are committed to maintaining a culture where they can advance and thrive,” said Taryn Owen, president and COO of TrueBlue. “To receive this distinction for the third consecutive year, based on employee feedback, is both an honor and a motivator to further our focus on fostering an employee-first culture.”

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

Less Than Two in 10 Job Seekers Rate Their Recent Recruitment Process Experience as Excellent

Posted on by jpatel

PeopleScout’s latest research reveals hard truths about candidate expectations versus the reality of their experiences  

CHICAGO–January 25, 2023 – Today’s job market is experiencing a clear disparity between candidate expectations and the reality they face when searching for and applying for jobs, according to a recent report by leading recruitment process outsourcing provider PeopleScout, a TrueBlue company. Survey findings showed that less than two in 10 candidates would rate their experience as “excellent”—a clear indicator that expectations for their job search are not being met by employers. The global research report, Inside the Candidate Experience, surveyed over 2,400 job seekers and analyzed 217 companies around the globe to see how employers stacked up against candidate expectations.  

Technology, social media and lightning-fast consumer experiences have driven job seekers to expect seamless, quick, digital-first experiences. For employers to succeed in this market, they must deliver the same intuitive and personalized experience. For example, survey results showed that two-thirds of candidates use social media to research companies during their job search. Yet, a third of employers are not consistently posting career-related content to their social channels.  

Job seekers also showed a desire to make an emotional connection with prospective employers. The study revealed that an organization’s mission, purpose and values are top considerations for candidates when deciding whether to apply for a job. Yet less than half of organizations include this information on their career site. Also, 35% of employers do not feature real employees in their recruitment material.  

In addition, candidates want to know that applying to an organization is worth their time and effort. Of those surveyed, 21% of candidates said lack of information regarding next steps would make them likely to drop out of the process after applying, but less than two in 10 employers provided candidates with those details. Plus, only 30% of employers clearly stated that adjustments were available for candidates with disabilities prior to starting an application. 

“In my conversations with talent acquisition leaders, it’s clear organizations understand the importance of the candidate experience, yet our research reveals that employers have a long way to go to meet candidates’ expectations,” said Simon Wright, PeopleScout’s Head of Global Talent Advisory Consulting. “PeopleScout strives to make the recruitment process as seamless as possible for both parties, and our hope is that this serves as a rallying cry for employers to get serious about making improvements to their candidate experience, especially as hiring has become so challenging.”

PeopleScout Recognized for Industry Expertise With Five 2022 Recruitment Marketing Awards

Posted on by jpatel

UK-Based Awards Program Gives Distinction for PeopleScout’s Innovation and Creativity in Their Work with Clients

LONDON – December 2, 2022 – PeopleScout has been named a five-time winner in the 2022 Recruitment Marketing Awards, in recognition of their success in film, copywriting, art direction and recruitment effectiveness on various client projects.

Since its launch in 1980, the Recruitment Marketing Awards have recognized excellence and professionalism in recruitment marketing and talent management. A total of 28 awards are given annually. One winner is selected in each category, after careful review by two judging panels.

“Winning five awards this year is an exceptional testament to our team’s expertise and innovation, which have been matched by our client’s open-mindedness and trust,” said PeopleScout’s UK Managing Director, Jonathan Porter. “I’m delighted that the creativity of our work has been recognised by industry peers.”

PeopleScout’s winning entries include:

Best Recruitment Effectiveness for Heathrow Airport
Heathrow Airport was struggling to fill positions, compounded by long security clearance times delaying hiring decisions and flight demands increasing in the wake of the pandemic. The PeopleScout team was brought in to recruit 400 officers over six months, which quickly grew to over 1,000, and to significantly increase the diversity of candidates. Heathrow was able to hire the staff it needed and improved diversity, with 48% of new hires being female. Judges called this campaign “a clear winner showcasing recruiting into a difficult role at a difficult time.”

Best Film under £5,000 for Westminster City Council
With a new employer value proposition aligned to the theme “All kinds of extraordinary,” this film was used to help Westminster City Council demonstrate the inspiring work of its employees and the difference it makes to local authorities. PeopleScout took a storytelling approach, with the film following the personal journey and tragedy of one individual. Judges found the campaign “well scripted, well executed, raw and authentic, which resulted in its effectiveness.”

Best Copywriting for Kent County Council
This recruitment campaign sought to dispel misconceptions about the potential of adult social care as a career choice, seeking to establish it as the vibrant, vital and meaningful profession that it is. The judges called the script “very powerful and emotive.” The film was viewed by 410,000 people and Kent County Council’s career site received 8,500 campaign clicks, resulting in 300 applicants. However, the real results were cultural, empowering care workers to have pride in their work and recognise the value of their achievements.

Best Film £5,001 to £15,000 for Kent County Council
With a challenging target of recruiting 100 adult care workers amidst a hiring crisis within the sector, Kent County Council turned to PeopleScout to help demonstrate the potential of this career. The film was used to tell real stories of real people working for the council, focusing on the themes of bravery, dignity and pride. Kent County Council was able to fill the 100 vacancies, in part due to what judges called “effective messaging with a proper call to action.”

Best Art Direction for London Borough of Hillingdon
PeopleScout was tasked with demonstrating the potential for people to make a positive impact by working for the London Borough of Hillingdon, as well as showcasing local attractions. To achieve this, the tagline “That’s the Hillingdon feeling” was adopted. The visuals and accompanying text focused on both individual roles and more general opportunities, outlining the potential for people to grow with Hillingdon. The client’s goal was to make the borough “stand out in a big, bold and unmissable way,” and the suite of imagery did that, while also meeting the borough’s core vision of putting its residents first. The judges felt this campaign “showed good use of their own people, properties and landscape.”
 
PeopleScout’s UK-based talent advisory practice provides world-class expertise in employer branding, recruitment marketing, assessment, DE&I consulting, talent market insights and more. Their passionate team of problem solvers—from psychologists and creatives to strategists and technologists—offer a depth and breadth of experience gained over 30 years of creating award-winning strategies for clients across the globe in every sector.
