How Financial Times reduced their risk when hiring full-time staff.

The Financial Times is one of the world’s leading news organisations, recognised internationally for its authority, integrity and accuracy. This daily newspaper is printed in broadsheet and published digitally that focuses on business and economic current affairs.

Challenge

The Financial Times needed additional Telesales and Data Research staff to permanently join their team. In order to reduce their hiring risk, Coople helped them ‘trial’ flexible staff before offering them a full-time position within their team.

Their main challenges were:

• Finding proficient and motivated candidates to meet high employee standards
• Efficiently selecting and hiring professional workers to be available for full-time shifts
• Trialing candidates for longer periods of time before offering them permanent positions within their team

Solution

Financial Times used Coople to instantly tap into a large pool of reliable, flexible workers to find the right longer-term, permanent staff. This allowed Financial Times to effectively hire candidates to join their full-time workforce and reduce their hiring risk.

Financial Times successfully recruited over 20 high quality candidates on a temp to perm basis. The chosen candidates exceeded their high expectations, were motivated and appropriately skilled. Thanks to Coople, they were able to ‘trial’ candidates before offering them permanent positions. All flexible workers were quickly sourced, trained and onboarded.
