London, 22 September 2011- Lumesse, a global leader in integrated talent management solutions, has been chosen by leading inspection, monitoring and certification services company Vinçotte to implement its Lumesse TalentLink talent acquisition solution. Vinçotte will now be able to streamline and take online its entire recruitment process, including interfacing with payroll applications to include new candidates in its system as soon as they are hired.

Vinçotte, with 2,500 employees worldwide, wanted to have all of its recruitment processes automated. With over 3000 applicants for around 150 vacancies per year Vinçotte particularly wanted to make the communication with applicants more efficient and professional. Additional goals were to reduce the number of CVs that came in via e-mail, to have all data available in a single system, to automate the approval flow and to improve employer branding.

According to Stefan Loix, Recruitment Manager at Vinçotte: "Our hiring process was based on e-mails going back and forwards and registering applicants manually into a candidate database, so we wanted to implement a more efficient procedure. With Lumesse TalentLink all our applicants will receive professional communications that will enhance our employer brand. The system is very user-friendly and all contact data, including candidate evaluations, will exist in a single system. All local HR managers and recruiters will have access to the system and all relevant hiring information."

With Lumesse TalentLink, Vinçotte will reduce the number of administrative tasks in hiring. All jobs posts will be available on its website and the entire hiring process will become less time-consuming. Lumesse TalentLink also meets Vinçotte's requirement for simple and clear management reporting.

Matthew Parker, CEO at Lumesse, adds: "Vinçotte wanted a fast implementation and the powerful configuration capabilities of Lumesse TalentLink will let us deliver that. We anticipate a go-live in October - an implementation period of less than five months. Vinçotte expects to see a rise in its job and applicant numbers in the near future and, having replaced a time consuming, manual process, the time and cost to hire will be reduced significantly."
