StepStone Solutions, a provider of talent management solutions, has been chosen to implement an e-recruitment strategy for Banque de France, the French national bank, which has approximately 15,000 agents throughout France.

As part of a broader global strategy, the Human Resources Department at Banque de France has decided to simplify and optimise its procedures for recruitment, setting up an e-recruitment solution in both French and English on its website. This will make life easier for the HR function through the automatic publication of all Banque de France jobs on its preferred job boards, and will allow it to perform reporting and statistics, including recruitment time, the profiles of candidates, trainees or recruits, and hiring sources. Banque de France currently advertises more than 300 jobs each year.

The Human Resources Department at Banque de France also wanted to improve communication on the diversity and richness of its jobs and its hiring process in the context of improving recruitment among specialists in areas such as economic research, financial stability or IT. To attract good candidates it was essential to implement an improved employer brand, based primarily on improved communication and streamlined recruitment procedures. At the same time, and to attract young graduates to jobs in the Bank, the process will be revised to become more attractive and significantly faster. The objective is to reduce the average hiring cycle from six to three months, with priority given to the management of online applications.

Another key objective for the Bank is to facilitate the recruitment of disabled workers. For many years Banque de France has promoted access to employment for people in need as an enterprise policy. This undertaking relates to hiring, inclusion, retention in employment and career development. Banque de France plans to recruit 50 workers with disabilities from 2009 to 2011.

“We chose StepStone Solutions for its implementation capability and expertise. In addition, this is a solution that effectively meets the recruitment needs of a Central Bank,” commented Belabed Mourad, head of educational relations and communications at Banque de France.

“This new project underlines our ability to deliver talent acquisition solutions that are closely tailored to very specific needs,” said Matthew Parker, CEO of StepStone Solutions. “Banque de France joins a growing list of major financial institutions worldwide that have chosen to work with us to enjoy a combination of extensive functionality and configurability, years of expertise in talent management, and the ability to deploy global solutions that still recognise local needs.”***
