Cutting Time-to-Hire with Talent Relationship Management

In a fiercely competitive job market, a global beauty and retail company’s traditional hiring channels were slow, expensive, and inconsistent at surfacing the right people.

Outcomes
  • Significantly reduced time-to-hire for open positions.
  • Higher-quality candidates with better culture fit.
  • Stronger employer brand that attracts top talent proactively.
The Challenge

What stood in the way

A global beauty and retail company competes for the same top talent as major global brands. Its traditional hiring methods — job boards and career events — consumed enormous time and didn't reliably produce great hires. Recruiters started from zero with every vacancy instead of drawing on relationships already built. The company needed a way to identify promising candidates early, keep them engaged over time, and have a pipeline ready the moment a role opened.

The Approach

How the company got to work

The company implemented TalentBridge, a Talent Relationship Management (TRM) platform, to create a central, living database of prospective candidates.

Built a centralized candidate pool covering all functions and markets.
Segmented candidates by skills, experience, and interests to target specific talent pools.
Ran ongoing engagement through personalized emails, webinars, and events.
Kept relationships warm so roles could be filled from the pipeline, not from scratch.
The Solution

The result delivered

Hiring now starts from a warm, segmented pipeline instead of a cold job posting — faster, cheaper, and better matched to the company's culture.

Time-to-hire cut substantially across open roles.
Candidate quality improved, with stronger culture fit.
Employer brand awareness increased through continuous engagement.
A sustainable talent pipeline ready for future growth.
