Case Study
Optimizing the Newton Europe graduate recruitment experience.
Challenge: Newton Europe is an Oxford-based operational performance improvement specialist, working with clients including British Airways, BAE Systems, Nissan and several NHS Trusts. It recruits operational improvement consultants in three areas – operational, procurement and supply chain and business technology. The firm needed an applicant system that could help it fill crucial graduate roles quickly with the best quality consultants. Newton’s approach is different – deliberately. They work hand in hand with their clients, delivering at the coalface. Together, they crack some of the largest and most complex challenges in the public and private sectors, by pinpointing and implementing the changes that will create the greatest impact.

“Oleeo offers us a very lean and efficient process for recruiting graduates into our growing business.”
Newton Europe needed a brand new system that would…
- Double the number of offers Newton makes
- Increase the number of applications Newton receives
- Completely overhaul their recruitment process to sustainably deliver results
Why Oleeo and what was the implementation like?
Newton Europe implemented the Oleeo’s Intuitive Talent Acquisition platform, built to help recruiters with finding, nurturing and hiring the best new talent covering college/school leavers, university/MBA graduates, apprentices and interns. It covers the entire journey of an applicant from attraction and engagement (including events) to on-boarding, helping to reduce the high risk of reneging.
“The system helps us to streamline our resourcing and make significant savings in the process. It is a great solution for graduate recruiting on an end-to-end basis”
Results
Key results identified by Newton Europe:
- Screening time halved from 15.5 days to 7.5 days
- Rise from 57th to 37th position in The Times top 100
- A 73% increase in applications submitted
- A new framework was put in place, helping to create a process which was agnostic and did not rely on a candidate's degree
- Increased assessing time per candidate 4.5 hours to 5.5 hours
- Averaged 500 sign ups per guerrilla graduate events
- Increased one on one accessor time with candidates
- More objective decisions made on data

The Future
The platform enables time efficiencies and saves on resourcing costs so that Newton Europe could recoup its investment within the first year of using it and could focus on crucial engagement to avoid the risk of reneged offers as well as allowing the organisation to post one vacancy instead of 50 for a single post using bulk processing.
With Oleeo, Newton Europe can continue to achieve their recruitment goals and implement more solutions to save time and reduce costs.
