The company
The Credem Group (Credito Emiliano SpA) is one of Italy's leading private companies in the banking sector. Founded in 1910 on the initiative of entrepreneurs from Reggio Emilia, it quickly began to grow beyond regional borders, arriving today to be present in 19 Italian regions.

Among the distinctive elements of the group is the desire to combine technological innovation and proximity to the customer, elements summarized in the guiding value of "Wellbanking," which translates not only into a series of services designed precisely on the basis of listening to the customer, but also on the construction of a network of traditional branches and advanced remote banking solutions that maintain constant proximity to customers.

In fact, the group's set of structures manages more than 600 branches throughout the territory, a network of more than 500 financial advisors and some 40 business centers supporting companies.
The context
  • Large volumes of applicants (about 30,000 applications/year)
  • Difficulty in identifying high-potential, often young, candidates to grow within the company
  • Selection time too long
  • Selectivity of the first step of the selection not sufficient to ensure speed and effectiveness in the remaining steps of the process
The challenge
  • Expand the number of candidates evaluated after the application phase with equal time spent by the recruiting team
  • Improve the quality of selection to intercept more high-potential candidates
  • Increase the degree of selectivity in the first step so as to have more candidates eligible for recruitment in the second step

"Certainly for realities such as ours, which have to manage really important numbers of candidates, the inclusion of technological support such as Skillvue's in the selection process is essential to exponentially increase the positive results that the selection team can achieve both at a qualitative and quantitative level, with a not insignificant impact also on the external perception by the candidates."
Daniele Candiani
HR Recruiter

Skillvue's competency analysis technology was seen as a strategic ally not only in enhancing and maximizing the recruiting team's efforts in achieving its set improvement goals, but also in ensuring greater inclusiveness and quality of the selection process for candidates.

Skillvue's intervention

The incorporation of Skillvue's technology into Credem's selection process was gradual, with the aim of measuring the positive impact on the issues encountered at the outset and then being able to adopt the solution on the entire company population.

For the first few months, therefore, it was decided to use Skillvue in the first phase of candidate analysis immediately after receipt of CVs, including more people in this step than was done in the past with the knowledge that the selection team would be able to more effectively manage candidates passed to the next step thanks to the insights provided by the platform with respect to their real skills.
Step 1
Credem's HR team collects and screens applications from candidates.
Step 2
An in-depth analysis of the skills of selected candidates is performed using Skillvue's technology.
Step 3
With the support of the data provided by Skillvue, the candidates' transition to the second step of the process (an interview with the Credem team) is determined.

Credem's selection team was able to compose the assessment tests to be submitted to candidates by selecting the most useful and relevant skills for the positions being considered from the more than 100 Skill Tests in the Skillvue Library.

Problem Solving
Question 1 of 3
A customer contacts you and, in an aggressive tone, complains about a problem with the service. How do you respond and handle the situation?

The results obtained

"Today, thanks to Skillvue's support, we are able to include more people in the first step of the selection process and at the same time conduct a more effective and selective analysis that saves us time in the later stages. The time-to-hire has been cut in half, and from the second step of the process we interview people who are much more suitable for hiring."
Alessandro Bonsignori
HR Training Manager
The incorporation of Skillvue's skills analysis technology into Credem's selection process has brought tangible improvements not only in the HR team's time management, but also in the quality of the assessment performed on the candidates selected at the application stage.

In the first phase, the Credem team's time expenditure is reduced and Skillvue is responsible for performing an in-depth analysis and returning a clear picture of the candidates' real skills. With this additional information, the Credem team is able to make more informed decisions than when moving to the second step, where there is a 15 percent reduction in shortlisted candidates and a 50 percent increase in eligible candidates for hire.

This allows for amore strategic allocation of time and an overall time-to-hire reduction of 50 percent, which results not only in a faster response to the company's placement needs, but also in a faster and more satisfying Candidate Experience.
