Judges’ comments

Judges noted the effect that the Resourcing Effectiveness Assessment among other measures had on improving many hiring metrics. “Omni recognised the competition for skills addressing the range of methods used, upskilling hiring managers, working to remove bias and increase candidate engagement. This together with targets to improve diversity helped to bring down time-to-hire substantially.”
