Dunelm create a home and career you’ll love

Leading retailer, Dunelm, has launched their new careers site where bright, entrepreneurial and switched on talent can see where they will fit just right in.

Recruiting people from all backgrounds for a variety of roles, Dunelm wanted to revamp their careers site to engage with their wide and diverse audience. The tough, competitive industry in which they operate means being ready to constantly innovate and improve – and that’s exactly what they have done.

The brief was to deliver a great online candidate experience aligned with their target audience and roles. The careers site needed to show people what it is like to work at Dunelm with information to understand the roles using dynamic content to create a great user-defined experience along with videos and stories of employees. Core to this was the need to consistently communicate the employer brand and culture, delivering an improved experience for candidates, with a high degree of measurability. Dunelm worked with partners Havas People and Eploy to connect the brand with talent through effective communication and enhance the candidate journey through the careers site.

The Dunelm careers site is fully integrated with their Eploy ATS and Recruitment CRM to provide a stellar candidate experience. It is optimised for multiple devices - mobile, tablet and desktop to automatically respond to users behaviour and environment. The site navigation is flexible and intuitive for candidates which provides an optimum user experience. Job search is now across the site with extensive filtering options and clever searches by keyword, role type and location. Each job has its own page with detailed job descriptions and benefits so candidates can apply to be part of their success story. The job pages also encourage social sharing to spread the search for talent to become part of the Dunelm family.

Commenting on the launch, Paul Jenkins, Senior Resourcing Manager at Dunelm said “we have achieved a fresh approach to attracting and engaging with talent who can see what it’s like to be part of the Dunelm family, attracting and immersing candidates in the brand before, during and after application. Candidates can register easily and control their preferences, personal data and job alerts. Candidate registration also has built-in CV parsing to automatically populate candidate details within our ATS.”

Dunelm also has access to real-time analytics which are embedded within the career site to enable tracking and monitoring of the site impact, engagement and conversion. Everything from registration to applications measurement and which roles are attracting the most interest means they can continually monitor results and evolve the careers site for the best job seeker experience and results.
