Case Study: How AtkinsRéalis uses a skills-based approach to secure talent that drives world-changing innovation
Key results
The challenge
AtkinsRéalis, an $8.6B engineering and infrastructure organization, faced inefficient candidate tracking and wanted to move beyond evaluating candidates on past job titles. It set out to transition to a skills-based hiring model to assess candidates on abilities and potential.
The solution
AtkinsRéalis integrated Beamery to support a skills-based hiring model, improve candidate tracking, and enhance collaboration across a global talent team and multiple departments. The approach let recruiters evaluate candidates by skills rather than prior titles.
“Beamery has helped us in our strategic implementation of innovative talent acquisition strategies. The skills-based hiring approach has transformed our recruitment process.”
