\n \u201cFrom a technical point of view, it seems to me to be an easy-to-use platform. We have been using it for about three months and have already noticed improvements. The number of applications received has increased, and, most importantly\u2014an aspect that is very important for us\u2014they are all collected in a single archive.\u201d <\/div>\n

Fundaci\u00f3n CIRCE<\/strong> is a technology center that carries out studies and research on energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainability, etc., with the aim of transferring this knowledge to companies and helping them to be more efficient in these areas. It is based in Zaragoza and has two local offices, one in Madrid and the other in Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foundation has more than 250 employees, mostly in technical roles. It has a very young average age\u2014around 35\u2014and a dynamic and multicultural environment, with staff coming from all corners of Spain and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mamen Moya Prats joined CIRCE in October 2019, in the Human Resources department, later renamed People and Talent. She was hired to work on selection, talent management, training and development, but in the beginning, given the strong growth of the foundation, she was mainly focused on the first two areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rapid expansion is a great challenge for Fundaci\u00f3n CIRCE\u2019s People and Talent department, which continues to grow and restructure itself to cope with an ever-increasing workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The low level of digitization of recruiting processes, and above all the absence of a single database, further complicated the work. The CVs were mainly received at the company\u2019s e-mail addresses and then copied into Excel files for filtering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAs the volume of applications continued to increase dramatically, we needed much more automated control and management, and most importantly, a single database.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To solve these efficiency problems, the Foundation decided to acquire a recruiting software. Following a software selection involving several suppliers, they made the choice for Altamira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe chose Altamira because it suited our needs very well. We needed the system to be delivered in the cloud, to be easy to use, to be available in Spanish and English and to cover all our needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The People and Talent department was in particular need of a single tool with which to manage the publication of job ads and their withdrawal, and to facilitate the receipt of spontaneous applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The back office needed to be able to freely \u201cplay\u201d with candidate data, easily proceed with the selection process and create useful reports and statistics. Altamira met these requirements better than the other software they analyzed, offered good value for money and the implementation time was in line with their requirements. The support also lived up to expectations. During the implementation phase, Mamen and her colleagues had to meet strict deadlines and fill out various documents, a task that was made easier by the explanations and availability of Altamira\u2019s staff. They were able to import the existing candidate database and customize fields on the platform, both on the career site and in the back office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One change in particular has proved very useful. Using a dedicated field on the application form, applicants can now specify which area of CIRCE they are interested in working in, which helps the People and Talent team to quickly filter CVs in the first screening stage. Once the initial configuration was complete, the support service was fast and well-organized, including in fulfilling the small requests for changes and optimizations that came up with the use of the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The introduction of Altamira Recruiting has already led to an increase in applications and time savings in the management of the recruiting process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers after 3 months of use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of published vacancies<\/strong><\/td>34<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Number of search projects created<\/strong><\/td>33<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Number of archived CVs<\/strong><\/td>1459<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Number of spontaneous applications filed<\/strong><\/td>98<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Number of hires<\/strong><\/td>33<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Average age of candidates<\/strong><\/td>32.28<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Line managers will soon be active on the platform, so that their evaluations and notes will also be included in a candidate\u2019s file. In this way, if a particular profile is looked at again after some time, the People and Talent team will already have a complete picture of that candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an even more efficient search and selection department, Fundaci\u00f3n CIRCE will be able to continue to attract the best talent from around the world and build a young and highly specialized workforce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
