Case Study: Colten Care cuts time to hire by 20 days and admin workload by 30% with Teamtailor
Key results
The challenge
Colten Care, a provider of nursing, residential and dementia care ranked among the UK's top 20 care-home operators, ran recruitment across more than 40 locations with limited applicant-tracking functionality. High application volumes — with some sites receiving seventy or eighty applications a day of which only a few were suitable — made manual screening and cross-location referrals difficult.
The solution
The team adopted Teamtailor's all-in-one ATS to centralize recruitment, screen candidates with application questions, share candidates between locations through a tagged talent pool, and give hiring teams shared analytics.
“If any of those candidates apply again, they'll be in our new talent pool rated with tags and we can manage with them in a new way.”

The results, in context
Colten Care reported a reduction in time per hire of 20 days and a 30% reduction in its administration workload, which it described as delivering a significant financial saving. The tagged talent pool allowed previous applicants to be re-engaged for new roles across sites.
