Recruitment optimization

The Challenge: 

Recruitment is often where momentum breaks down. Why?

Because most hiring processes weren’t built for speed, scale or skills—they were built for control. And they haven’t evolved with the market.

Common friction points we see:

• Bloated processes
  Too many approvals, too many handovers, too much admin.

• Unclear roles & responsibilities
  Hiring managers aren’t trained to hire. Recruiters are left guessing.

• Outdated selection logic
  Job descriptions don’t match what’s actually needed. Assessment criteria are vague or biased.

• Poor candidate experience
  Inconsistent communication, long wait times, ghosting—leading to drop-off and brand damage.

• Disconnected tech stack
  ATS, scheduling tools, and assessments don’t talk to each other—making the process slower, not smarter.

And at the heart of it all?
No clear connection between hiring and the strategic capabilities the business actually needs.

The result: longer time-to-hire, inconsistent quality, frustrated hiring teams—and missed opportunities in a competitive talent market.

Our approach.

At ImpactWork, we help organisations stop firefighting in recruitment—and start building a talent engine that actually works.

We approach recruitment optimization as a system redesign.
Not just speeding things up, but making sure every step contributes to better decisions, stronger hires and measurable results.

Here’s how we do it:

The impact.

When your recruitment engine is optimized, you don’t just fill roles—you build capability.
You gain control over quality, speed, and experience—all at once.

Our clients experience:

1. Up to 40% faster time-to-hire
Delays are eliminated, approvals are simplified, and teams know exactly what to do—when.

2. Increased hiring consistency
Structured interviews, clear criteria, and aligned decision-makers lead to more reliable hiring outcomes.

3. Improved candidate experience
Top talent stays in the process longer, is more likely to accept offers, and leaves with a positive view—whether hired or not.

4. Lower cost per hire
Fewer agency dependencies, less rework, and smarter internal processes reduce your recruitment spend.

5. Stronger collaboration between HR and business
Hiring becomes a shared responsibility—not a tug of war.

6. Recruitment as a strategic lever
With clean data, aligned tools and agile workflows, hiring becomes a growth enabler—not a bottleneck.
