EcoVadis, is a French environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sustainability rating assessment company. The organisation has expanded rapidly since its creation in 2007 and is now valued at over $1B —making it the sector’s first unicorn. EcoVadis has firmly positioned itself as a market leader due to its collaborative SaaS platform and innovative rating system, which is based on non-financial management criteria, including environmental factors, human rights, ethics, and sustainable consumption. The company employs over 1000 professionals across more than 60 countries.
EcoVadis itself has a strong commitment to social responsibility and the company is continually conscious of its impact on society, which has helped to boost its EVP. 91% of employees say it is a great place to work.
The Challenge
While EcoVadis’ strong employer brand attracts many talented individuals, the company needed a way to attract and engage talent in niche fields — even in those professions that are unique to their company. The specialised skill set required in sustainability and technology roles makes recruitment for EcoVadis complex, especially as they are continuing to grow rapidly and face exponential hiring needs. The team set out to transform their approach to recruitment, to support the organisation’s sky-rocketing growth trajectory.
Objectives
- Identify candidates with niche/specialised skill sets for each specific geographical region.
- Enhance the candidate experience and brand perception throughout the recruitment process.
- Increase the number of visitors to EcoVadis’ careers website.
The Solution
EcoVadis chose to use the Clinch Employee Connections solution to allow its employees to share their experiences and talk about their roles within the company more transparently. This has created an authentic and appealing image of the company, enabling a better understanding of niche roles and raising awareness among potential candidates about the challenges of working in sustainability and technology. The solution allows employees to candidly share their stories and engage with potential candidates, in a structured and scalable way.
What’s more, these testimonials have helped to facilitate greater internal mobility within the organisation. Current team members now have better visibility into career opportunities offered by EcoVadis and can get real-world insights to help them to explore roles outside of their own. This increased visibility, and bringing employees along on the journey has reinforced employee engagement and motivation within the company.
Results
Clinch Employee Connections has boosted candidates’ perception of EcoVadis and positioned the company as an employer of choice to help attract highly skilled talent for specialised roles. The solution allowed EcoVadis to address industry challenges head-on, through the voices of its employees. This authentic platform helps to break down barriers, build trust and explain niche roles in a direct way. By championing employee-generated content, EcoVadis has transformed its approach to both employee engagement and new talent attraction.
