“My favourite feature on Welcome to the Jungle are the diversity filters. Diversity sourcing is a big part of my personal weekly sourcing goal, but also a wider business focus. The filters make it simple to do intentional and targeted sourcing.”
Rubina Begum, Executive Talent Partner at Multiverse
Multiverse initially partnered with us to meet ambitious growth plans and DEI goals. Using the “boost” feature and bringing the company’s culture to life via their profile, the team attracted high quality inbound applications at speed.
Going into their fourth year usingWelcome to the Jungle, Multiverse has successfully scaled the team’s headcount and developed a successful talent acquisition strategy across different roles.
As a result, they’ve become more focused on proactively finding specific talent. Over the last 12 months, 40% of Multiverse’s hires on the platform have been made through sourcing (versus 10% in their first year on Pro).
Looking for certain skill sets has been made easier and quicker with our sourcing filters. Recruiters are able to view candidates based on specific skills and preferences, experience level, salary expectations, plus proprietary insights (for example, whether candidates have saved the company before or have recently been more actively applying for new roles).
“The sourcing filters on Welcome to the Jungle means we can find the right talent efficiently. With a response rate of over 50%, we’ve found candidates are genuinely interested in finding a new opportunity and progressing through the process quickly."
Chelsea Heng, Talent Acquisition at Multiverse
As Multiverse’s talent acquisition team has scaled, so has the level of support that our team has been able to provide. An embedded Customer Success Manager works closely with a number of their hiring teams via Slack and email. This has helped ensure users across the company are seeing the same level of hiring success.
“With diversity and salary filters that help me source equitably, I am able to create transparency in hiring processes from day 1, helping me break barriers, reduce bias and achieve alignment with candidates efficiently.”
