Who are we?
In today's fast-paced world, time is money for any business.
At Bouncy Square, we specialise in workflow automation and process optimisation as a managed service. We are not just consultants, we build partnerships with our clients and continuously evolve their processes to stay ahead of the technological tidal wave.
This case study explores our collaboration with First Choice Recruitment, showcasing how we are enhancing their operations through strategic automation and bespoke platform development.
Background
First Choice has been a leader in the recruitment industry for over 30 years.
Like any business that has experienced rapid growth over several decades, their processes are constantly evolving alongside technological advancements. Many businesses would completely redesign their core processes and restructure their software platforms if they had the opportunity to "start over."
However, this is rarely possible. That's where we come in.
Bouncy Square exists to connect legacy processes through automation platforms and bespoke software solutions. Our tools and methods enable businesses to become more efficient and agile without disrupting their day-to-day operations.
Scope
Enhancing Workflow Efficiency: First Choice uses many software solutions and tools. Our remit was to connect these solutions, unifying multiple product features within a simple-to-use platform.
Time Optimisation: Our initial audit of First Choice's processes identified many hours being spent on tedious and repetitive tasks that could be quickly automated.
Integration of New Technologies: First Choice is keen to implement the latest technologies with a long-term roadmap in mind. Our solutions are designed to allow for expansion and continuous improvement.
Our Approach
1. Identify and Analyse Processes
We began with a detailed audit of First Choice's processes and day-to-day tasks.
We identified tasks that were repetitive and consumed a significant amount of time.
We then discussed First Choice's long-term goals, brainstorming ideas based on the current technology available.
2. Define Objectives and Requirements
We collaborated with First Choice to establish a long-term roadmap, defining our destination and the plan to achieve it.
We outlined the requirements and expected outcomes for each step on this roadmap.
First Choice was seeking a long-term partnership, preferring to start slowly and ramp up over time. We identified initial processes that could be automated or enhanced by bespoke software.
3. Select the Right Tools and Technologies
We discussed in depth with First Choice regarding the tools and workflows we proposed to implement within their business.
We considered key factors such as scalability, integration capabilities, and ease of use.
We selected the tools that best matched the agency's needs and objectives.
4. Design and Implement Automation
We provided high-level design documentation for each element of the process automation we planned to implement at First Choice.
We created and extensively tested the automation workflows to ensure they functioned as intended.
We implemented the automation in stages, starting with a pilot phase to test and refine the processes. This was done in collaboration with First Choice staff and management.
Using the latest automation tools and bespoke software, we began to implement streamlined workflows. Key processes that have been automated include:
Candidate sourcing and screening
Interview scheduling
Day to day candidate communication and follow-up
Data entry and management
Annual leave request processing
Candidate shift booking and management
5. Monitor, Optimise, and Maintain
Our services are provided within a managed service offering. We provide 24/7 business support and ongoing consultations, advising on new services and offerings that can be implemented.
We collect feedback and maintain discussions with staff and end users of our workflows and platforms to foster an environment of constant improvement and refinement.
Our services evolve with the latest technology through our managed service offering.
Results
1. Significant Time Savings
By automating repetitive tasks, we are saving First Choice over one full working day each week. This has allowed staff to focus on high-value activities, such as engaging with candidates and clients.
2. Improved Efficiency and Accuracy
Automation has removed the aspect of human error from many of First Choices more tedious processes, this improved efficiency has been reflected in their business performance.
3. Enhanced User Experience
Our bespoke management platforms have offered an intuitive user interface, improving the overall experience for users.
4. Cost Savings
With more efficient processes and reduced manual labour, First Choice are seeing significant cost savings. These savings can be reinvested into further innovations and business growth.
"I was initially skeptical but the guys have really helped us out with the automation. Parts of our business where relying on tedious time consuming processes and taking us away from the actual work that needed to be done. Through some of the platforms the guys have implemented it has made these processes effortless."
