Our approach:


While every Candidate 360 project is unique to the client, they’re all built using the following key steps.

Step one

Getting the big picture

We’ll get together with you to understand your challenges, learn what data is important to you, and what your strategic priorities are.

 

Step two

Data exploration

We’ll look at the data you have across your reporting tools and systems. We’ll study the current format and structure too, to shape our solution.

 

Step three

Solution workshop

We’ll develop initial ideas and designs for your reporting suite. We’ll then workshop together to make sure it’s perfect before we build it.

Step four

Refining the design

We’ll tighten things up and start to build the initial frameworks – testing all the way to ensure it will deliver the insight you need.

Step five

Ready for launch

The next step is to roll it into a fully functional dashboard.

Step six

Over to you

We’ll hand over the reporting suite, making sure you’re fully trained and supported to keep it up to date. If you prefer, we can stay involved to regularly support.

Recent Candidate 360 projects:


Turning data to insight for HSBCs Global Graduate Programme

HSBC had no issues attracting talent. But they needed to make a difference when it came to diversity through the pipeline. Through data science, combined with audience insights we supported HSBC to gain clarity on the pain points for perception, preference and progression, identifying where there was potential bias, or wider challenges impacting their progress to shaping a more diverse and inclusive graduate cohort.
