Constance Hotels, Resorts & Golf cuts recruitment costs significantly with Oracle
Constance Hotels, Resorts & Golf cuts time-to-hire from 62 to 35 days and reduces costs significantly by consolidating recruitment on Oracle Cloud.
Constance Hotels, Resorts & Golf (Constance Hospitality Management Ltd) owns and operates several luxury hotels and resorts around the Indian Ocean. Each property traditionally managed its own staffing requisitions and candidates with limited tools. This made it difficult to quantify the effectiveness of staffing processes, manage recruitment advertising and agency spend, and share candidates across the group. Constance Hotels was looking to centralize all recruitment activities in order to standardize processes, optimize the candidate pool, and reduce staffing costs.
“With Oracle TBE Recruiting Manager Cloud Service, we reduced time-to-hire from 62 to 35 days, reduced cost significantly, and enabled total visibility on the recruitment activities for each of our hotels and resorts. In addition, we significantly improved the candidate experience, strengthening our reputation as an employer of choice.”
