Competition for healthcare talent is more difficult than ever. With a 51% market share, Specsavers continues to expand. However, the scarcity of both new and experienced talent presents a major risk to the company’s growth strategy.

Specsavers needed a solution that tapped into its existing database of candidates. In a competitive job market, refreshing your candidate database is a key strategy in recruiting top talent.

Specsavers's approach

The Specsavers team knew who its candidates were but had no way of engaging these candidates and identifying which were interested in applying for a role. iCIMS Marketing Automation allowed Specsavers to use a content-driven approach that engages candidates with its employer brand.

Recruitment marketing automation helps Specsavers hire high-quality optometrists, audiologists, store specialists and graduates. Recruiters can easily create automated recruitment campaigns that give potential candidates a personalized experience helping the business stand out from the competition.
