Client Challenge
Wilmar International has an experienced in-house Talent Acquisition team responsible for managing recruitment across the business. Their team is highly capable and committed to recruiting directly, but they needed additional support in two key areas of the recruitment process.
Firstly, they wanted access to South Africa’s leading premium job boards without the cost and administration of managing multiple advertising contracts. Secondly, they recognised that advertising across multiple platforms would generate a high volume of applications. While attracting candidates was important, having their Talent Acquisition team spend days reviewing hundreds of CVs would take them away from interviewing candidates, engaging hiring managers and progressing other live vacancies.
They weren’t looking for a traditional recruitment agency—they simply needed a partner to manage candidate attraction and the initial screening process, while their internal Talent Acquisition team retained full ownership of interviewing, selection and hiring
Ntice Approach
Ntice became an extension of Wilmar’s Talent Acquisition team by managing the front end of the recruitment process. We advertise vacancies across South Africa’s leading premium job boards, review every application and identify candidates who best match the role requirements.
Only suitably qualified candidates are presented to the Talent Acquisition team, allowing them to focus their time on interviewing, engaging candidates and making hiring decisions.
Result
By partnering with Ntice to manage candidate attraction and the initial screening process, Wilmar has significantly improved the efficiency of its recruitment function while retaining complete control over every hiring decision.
The result is broader candidate reach, a consistent pipeline of high-quality applicants and a more efficient recruitment process. Rather than paying a placement fee for every successful hire, Wilmar pays only for the recruitment support it needs—providing a far more cost-effective solution while enabling its Talent Acquisition team to continue hiring directly.
