The Challenge:
FinTech Innovators was struggling with a lengthy recruitment process that caused them to lose top engineering talent to agile competitors in London.
Our Solution:
We redesigned their entire talent acquisition funnel, implemented a modern Applicant Tracking System (ATS), and trained their hiring managers on structured, bias-free interview techniques.
The Result:
Reduced average time-to-hire from 60 days to 36 days, improved candidate quality, and increased offer acceptance rate by 15%.
Boosted Employee Engagement by 22% Across 50 Locations
Retail UK Group
The Challenge:
Retail UK Group faced high employee turnover and low morale scores, particularly among frontline staff, due to a disconnect with management across their nationwide stores.
Our Solution:
Hearthstone People developed and launched a multi-channel employee feedback program, a revised recognition system, and a clear career development framework for all store-level employees.
The Result:
Annual engagement survey scores increased by 22 points, and staff turnover decreased by 18% within the first year, leading to more resilient teams.
Seamless Transition to a Hybrid Work Model
Creative Assembly Co.
The Challenge:
Creative Assembly Co., a leading London-based design studio, needed to establish a fair and productive hybrid work policy but lacked the internal expertise to manage the cultural and logistical shift.
Our Solution:
We facilitated comprehensive workshops to define their new work model, created clear communication guidelines for employees and managers, and implemented performance metrics focused on outcomes, not hours or location.
The Result:
Successfully implemented a company-wide hybrid policy with a 95% employee satisfaction rate, maintaining pre-pandemic productivity levels and fostering a more agile culture.
