The Challenge
Because second-hand car prices have been at a record high since the pandemic, Carsales’ Talent Acquisition team faced capacity challenges, especially regarding niche verticals like Software Engineering, DevOps, and Mobile. Carsales also faced difficulties feeding the top of the funnel, diversity hiring, and dealing with an outdated interview process.
- Engineers across the leading teams were stretched, impacting the delivery of projects
- Due to the spike in users, the focus was shifting to system performance & reliability
- The interview process needed modernisation and refinement
- Core positions were left needing to be filled, such as leadership and development roles
The Solution
After the pandemic, the talent market became extremely tight as many tech firms adopted remote work policies. The competition intensified like never before. Preacta brought intensity and brand awareness to Carsales amidst a competitive market.
Increasing the digital presence of Carsales, sharing more information, and leveraging from a diversified range of channels helped increase brand awareness. Preacta analyzed Carsales’ messaging and measured its conversion rates on different channels. This, in turn, improved the go-to-market strategy for Carsales. As a result of Preacta’s guidance, Carsales differentiated itself from the competition and successfully revamped its hiring at scale.
