The Optical Express Group was founded in 1991 and is now a Global leader of selected healthcare services. Currently operating in the UK, US, Ireland, Belgium, Croatia, Germany, France and The Netherlands, the Group covers optical stores, refractive laser eye surgery and dental clinics, state-of-the-art medical hospitals and cosmetic treatment centers. Due to organic growth and acquisition over the past decade recruiters at Optical Express needed to quickly and efficiently recruit qualified talent to fill an increasing number of open positions around the world. Their basic ATS was forcing recruiters to manage information in multiple, disparate locations including Outlook folders; this made comprehensive reporting and accurate metrics across multiple locations next to impossible to collect. "It was obvious that our software solution was not the right tool for us," said Ed Sweeting, Recruitment Manager at The Optical Express Group. "As we continued to expand our portfolio into new territories, our technology was no longer capable of meeting our evolving international recruitment needs."
After evaluating four reputable vendors from across the globe, Optical Express selected the iCIMS Talent Platform. "iCIMS came highly recommended to us," said Ed. "Service was our main differentiator and I am confident in the superior service iCIMS provides." In addition to providing an unparalleled customer experience, iCIMS stood out from the competition because of the Talent Platform's comprehensive functionality, robust reporting center and most importantly, international capabilities. The iCIMS Talent Platform offered Optical Express a flexible, highly configurable tool that could be translated into hundreds of languages and power talent management initiatives across the globe. With Multilingual Career Centers, Bilingual Applications and country specific applicant flows, Optical Express was confident in iCIMS' ability to meet their expansive talent acquisition needs.
Since implementing the iCIMS Talent Platform, Optical Express recruiters could not be happier with their new found international functionality and flexibility.
