Personio's Hiring Triumph: Embracing Alooba's Automated Recruitment Revolution

As a hypergrowth tech scale up, securing the best talent is essential for Personio. Part of the challenge when hiring at such a successful company is not necessarily finding the best talent, but finding the best talent in the sea of applicants that are received.

Just like Canva, Personio gets inundated with applications for all their roles, especially the in-demand data related roles. With the traditional CV screening approach, it’s hard to spot the diamonds in the rough.

Not only is CV screening very inaccurate, but it’s also very time consuming, and that was one of the main motivations for Personio adopting Alooba into their hiring process.

For product analytics it worked really, really well because we had the Alooba assessment as the first step. It really helped us to do a better screening of candidates. It really helped us to improve the testing of the hard skills to save time there.

Check out our comparison of Alooba Assess vs manual CV screening.

Alooba’s content covers the full spectrum of data related roles, from basic data literacy that anybody in any role needs, through to product analytics, marketing analytics, data science and data engineering.

For data engineering & analytics these take-home assignments we were doing ourselves are a bit time consuming so we wanted to automate that and also reduce the time candidates were spending on the assessment.

Not only is it a big pain in the neck to administer and grade take-homes, but candidates just won’t do them. Preventing drop-off in your hiring process is crucial to have any chance of securing the best talent. Alooba offers a lightweight, safe and quick alternative that's 95% faster for candidates to complete than take-home assessments.

Traditional recruitment approaches tend to be dominated by very manual processes. Manual sourcing, manual CV screening and manual interviews. Alooba helps companies like Personio overcome these bottlenecks that the traditional hiring approach creates.

We were able to set a score...with all candidates who scored below 45% we would reject and of course that saves a lot of time in the hiring process. The hiring managers would only need to look at results above that. It was fully automated.

Instead of needing to read every single CV, one-by-one, Personio were able to automate that first screening step entirely. And a big bonus - they kept the hiring manager happy. Anyone in talent acquisition will tell you, keeping the hiring managers happy is worth it!

It’s essential that success in any screening approach correlates with success with the rest of the hiring process, and beyond.
