Since our beginnings as ESP in 2006, CMyPeople has provided more than 400 organisations and 20,000 individuals with the assessments and reports that have improved their staff selection, development, performance and succession planning.
Over the past 12 months, we have helped to resolve some diverse issues for many leading Australian and Worldwide organisations. Here are some examples of CMyPeople in action.
General Recruitment: The Australian Government
As a joint partner in the development of ESP (now CMyPeople) the Australian Government has been a leading advocate for use of CMyPeople's products and services as a means to solving the issues relating to skills shortages in Australia. At the same time, the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, along with other Govt. departments including the Department of Education Science and Training, the Attorney General's Office, and the Australian Tax Office, all assess the suitability of existing employees and new applicants, using the CMyPeople web-based solutions.
Volume Recruitment: Australia Post
Australia Post delivers the most comprehensive postal service in the Asia-Pacific region and currently employs approximately 34,800 people. Helping Australia Post to dramatically improve hiring and retention rates, won Chandler Macleod a national AHRI award in the category of "most innovative recruitment strategy" proving the brilliant applications of psychological profiling in recruitment. In 2007, Australia Post implemented CMyPeople to deliver the same fantastic results as before, with improvements to the cost and deliverability of assessments, using the innovative CMyPeople online tool.
Optimising Existing Talent and Systems: BIS Industries Limited
BIS is an industrial logistics firm based in Sydney, with multiple operational sites across Australia. With difficulties in attracting and retaining talent as is common in resources industries, CMyPeople was implemented to get the most out of both existing employees and new recruits, in a candidate short environment. CMyPeople worked with BIS and Chandler Macleod Consulting to map together the existing Lominger competency framework in use by BIS and the Employability Skills Framework that underpins CMyPeople, so BIS could continue to work with their existing framework and associated HR practices. High performing employees were identified through a benchmarking exercise and the internal recruitment process was redesigned to reflect this, with a longer term view to apply such criteria to candidates from overseas talent pools in both Europe and Asia.
Recruitment Consultancy: Chandler Macleod
Australia's leading HR Services firm to more than 4000 clients, Chandler Macleod participated in the early development of CMyPeople and has adopted the system company wide as the tool of choice to assess and measure any candidate's suitability to a wide variety of roles within their client's organisations. CMyPeople's easy to understand reports provide recruiters, employers and job applicants with a snapshot of an individual's strengths, skills, and temperament and provide a valuable insight into workplace behaviour, providing a vehicle for discussion and planning of future career opportunities.
Risk Management: Ernst & Young
Ernst & Young are the world's largest Audit and Accounting consultancy. Their Australian offices have adopted CMyPeople as a core part of the Risk Management and Performance Improvement Services provided to their clients; where it is used to accurately measure workplace performance and make recommendations on staff training, development, and career progression. They initially approached CMyPeople to improve their own consulting services by finding better methods of matching high performing people to the right roles.
As an online tool, Ernst & Young were able to provide assessments for their clients across many countries and locations, many of whom were so impressed by CMyPeople's reults that they are now using it throughout their own organisations as part of their recruitment and talent pooling solutions.
Employment Services: Job Network
The Job Network is a 200+ member organisation, comprising a large number of diverse employment, training and charity-based organisations contracted to assist the Government in finding sustainable employment for individuals facing a range of social and economic challenges. CMyPeople, in partnership with the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, developed this world-first application to measure an individuals strengths & skills, whilst simultaneously building their confidence and job readiness. The process identifies a broad range of relevant opportunities open to jobseekers, whilst providing a steady stream of job ready applicants to employers across all industry sectors. Assessing jobseekers with CMyPeople has been shown to improve placement rates and candidate sustainability by over 60%
Trainee Selection: Telstra
When Chandler Macleod won a contract to provide Wireless Trainees to Telstra in both Sydney and Melbourne, CMyPeople was a key differentiator in the services offered. 64 candidates were assessed on the same day at an assessment centre. Each candidate was assessed against a set of competencies specifically selected by Telstra, as those essential and desirable for a particular role. The assessment day enabled Telstra to make a highly informed selection of trainees, who would be most likely to add value to their business and be successful in this role.
