Riyad Bank, one of the largest financial institutions in Saudi Arabia, was undergoing a company-wide digital transformation. The aim was to automate and energize processes, from customer experience to the recruitment process. This required not only better tech solutions but also attracting and hiring top tech professionals. The bank was facing the challenge of streamlining its recruitment process to attract top talent and stay ahead of the competition. The traditional recruitment process was time-consuming and less efficient, making it difficult to attract and hire the right candidates.
Riyad Bank is one of the largest financial institutions in Saudi Arabia, employing more than 5,900 employees. The bank boasts the highest national employment rate of 94% among Saudi organizations. The bank is currently undergoing a digital transformation aimed at automating and energizing processes, from customer experience to the recruitment process. This transformation requires the bank to attract and hire top tech professionals to drive the change.
Riyad Bank integrated the iCIMS Talent Cloud into its recruitment process to improve hiring efficiency. The bank's recruitment process starts with a psychometric test to assess essential technical, numerical, and behavioral skills. Candidates that pass are then invited to record a video interview. The on-demand video interview was integrated into the recruitment process for faster and improved hiring. The bank used iCIMS Video Interview to boost its Graduate Program recruiting campaign. The eight-person hiring team could hire better profiles faster thanks to the pre-recorded video. Sharing the videos with hiring managers and being able to watch them several times if needed meant they had a better understanding of who the candidates were. Shortlisting became easier and teams saw fewer candidates as the interview videos revealed more about the candidates and they quickly had a better understanding of their skills and potential.
