Artfully x Menzies Distribution

What recruitment challenges were you facing?

Menzies had no clear strategy for advertising job vacancies and lacked data to determine which platforms attracted the best candidates. Their reliance on recruitment agencies was costly, and navigating the array of job board products was overwhelming. Without robust data analysis, they struggled to optimise their recruitment spend and assess the quality of applications.

“We now have access to intelligence and data when it comes to job boards, what is working for us now and what is likely to work in the future. It has removed the guesswork from the recruitment process. We’re data-driven and on the front foot when it comes to filling roles across our sites."

When did Artfully come in?

Artfully stepped in to oversee Menzies’ recruitment platform strategy. Through tailored budget management, platform refinement, and expert advice, Artfully helped streamline processes and track results. By negotiating job board agreements, providing insights on ad performance, and implementing regular budget reviews, Artfully became an integral part of Menzies’ resourcing team.

“The relationship with Artfully is over and above what we would expect. If I went to the job boards directly it would cost me a lot more, so from a financial point of view there’s an immediate benefit, but the added value is the real difference maker."

How have Artfully helped?

While maintaining the same budget, Menzies significantly improved applicant quality. They now have accurate data on application flows, enabling strategic recruitment planning for specific roles and locations. With Artfully’s support, Menzies has filled positions efficiently, gained valuable insights into talent pools and enhanced decision-making on salaries and catchment areas.

“I would 100% recommend Artfully to others.” —Head of Resourcing, Menzies Distribution
