  • Starting the journey to provide a seamless experience for candidates in a multi-stage assessment process using a single chat-based platform.

    Singtel wanted to create a seamless candidate experience for the Singtel Management Associate Programme which has a multi-stage assessment process. The two-year programme, which is designed to nurture effective leaders for tomorrow’s digital economy, is one of the most popular and prestigious roles for fresh or recent graduates in Singapore, receiving a high volume of candidates every year. Due to the application process, reviewing the multiple assessments and shortlisting candidates for the next stage required a lot of time and effort on the recruiter’s side.

    The company started researching RPAs to aid in providing a seamless experience for candidates in the application process, as well as save recruiter time that was being spent on manual, repetitive tasks. Due to the high volume of applicants, they chose Impress as the platform specialises in high volume recruitment.
