At Melbourne Grammar School in Australia, Oracle HCM Cloud has made the entire process faster and more efficient. Within 18 months, the school was able to reduce significant overheads by automating recruitment processes.
These included screening teacher applications (rather than hiring temporary staff to compile and send out shortlisting packs). This helped to reduce agency costs by US$64,000 and increased the school’s hiring efficiency. So, hiring managers can instantly access and shortlist candidates, make faster hiring decisions, get accurate status reports quickly, enhance candidate experiences through mobile devices, and boost the school’s image as an employer of choice. All of which helped the school to attract even more high-quality talent
