Equans and their complex hiring landscape, in need of sympl-icity & reach

Equans is faced with a challenging recruitment process due to a wide variety of roles across multiple sectors, business units, regions, and languages. From project managers and industrial electricians to refrigeration engineers and even company firefighters, the variety is vast to say the least. Above that, Equans is a selective recruiter, adding another layer of complexity. Initially, they relied on traditional recruitment methods, such as their own job website, job boards like VDAB and Jobat, and interim agencies. However, this process was time-consuming and required a lot of effort from the job marketing team. Setting up social media campaigns across various platforms with different formats and requirements for each, only added to the workload.

“What we really needed was a solution that could simplify and streamline our recruitment marketing process. And on top of that could expand our reach while remaining cost-effective,” says the job marketing team. “In short, something more efficient, less time-consuming, and capable of managing all our recruitment marketing in one place.”
