Tesco: A Fresh Approach to Global Recruitment

Tesco is the third-largest retailer in the world. Tesco required a multilingual talent acquisition platform which could support head office and retail roles, while delivering a superb user experience.

Since integrating with Tribepad in 2014, Tesco have successfully processed more than 2.6 million applications per year.

The challenge

Using different systems to manage, process, and track applicants was a constant challenge for the recruitment team. Tesco needed a simpler, self-service system for candidates which would make it easy to apply for roles and stay informed.

Recruiters needed to report on the entire hiring process and identify areas for improvement, across a diverse range of roles and business units.

Supporting early careers and graduate recruitment as well as implementing guaranteed interviews for disabled candidates were key requirements.
