Central England Co-operative announced as Finalist in the British Recruitment Awards 2022

We are delighted to announce that Central England Co-operative has been named a Finalist in the British Recruitment Awards 2022 Innovation category.

The British Recruitment Awards 2022 sets out to discover and celebrate the individuals and teams that are truly passionate about recruitment’s role in building a thriving organisation.

This year, just over 130 entries were received from organisations across the UK, and so competition to be named a Finalist proved to be very tough.

Central England Co-op Journey

Central England Co-op had a strong entry, showcasing their approach to recruitment innovation and transformation.

The Society is one of the UK’s largest and most successful independent co-operative societies and co-operative colleagues are the key to its success, which is why they want the very best people to join their team of around 8,000 employees. It has been making progress for the future through a large-scale transformation programme. The HR and Project Team undertook a full review of every recruitment process and experience to identify all areas for improvement.

The Society selected Eploy as their preferred partner because of the product’s capabilities, the partnership approach between the teams, and their aligned values. Eploy provides the hub of the recruitment journey and a complete ATS to improve how Central England Co-op attracts, engages, and nurtures talent. You can read the full story about how they approached and delivered the transformation programme here
