Adecco Group + Qualtrics
Improving the recruitment experience for employees and employers
The battle for top talent and new corporate customers has never been fiercer in the recruitment industry. To stand out, The Adecco Group is putting CX at the heart of its values with a simple idea: every candidate, recruit and customer must have a positive experience during every interaction with Adecco. It starts with someone logging on to the platform for the first time, to receiving their payslip - with every interview and work placement in between. With Qualtrics, the HR group set up a customer experience department in 2017 to improve and design experiences and drive up satisfaction for all stakeholders.
Adecco Group using Qualtrics
Listening to the customers or candidates at each key stage of the process
Adecco’s CX program covers 16 different journeys, but the company knows there are moments that matter more than others. Thanks to the Qualtrics XM Directory, customers, candidates or recruits are automatically asked for feedback at critical points in their journey. And it’s all automatic, with texts or emails going out based on data held within XM Directory.
Measuring satisfaction and monitoring NPS
Adecco uses Qualtrics to measure and improve its NPS and customer satisfaction. And these metrics have now become key elements of the company’s strategy. Today, the NPS score – which has risen by 15 points since the program was introduced – is displayed in the reviews of each business unit.
Understand the root causes in order to take meaningful action
Adecco knows there’s no point collecting and analysing data if it doesn’t help it to design or improve experiences. Using AI-powered text analysis baked into Qualtrics, it’s able to understand the root causes of customer satisfaction (or dissatisfaction). The CX team then helps colleagues around the company to take the necessary corrective measures.
Text analysis is one of the key benefits of Qualtrics. It enables us to focus on areas for improvement mentioned many times by our clients or temporary staff, but that we wouldn’t have detected before.
Why Qualtrics
Text analysis
The team has been able to analyse more than 20,000 open-text comments. And today, the Text iQ tool is used to uncover bad experiences and identify ways to fix them.
Alerts
The group’s central CX team is able to assign follow-up with unhappy customers and then track progress with departments around the company.
The power of the tool
Powerful analysis, dashboards and tracking tools are loved by the CX team, but also by the top management who can easily access the platform.
