The Challenge

Phoenix aims to directly source the vast majority of their candidates, so ensuring they deliver a first-class employer brand and candidate experience is paramount. 

The Talent Acquisition team was tasked with creating a single, unified recruitment guide to engage, attract and serve a diverse candidate pool, while showcasing Phoenix's purpose, benefits, culture, and application process.

The flagship Introduction To Phoenix guide is one of the most engaged with materials in the candidate experience, and has played a part in Phoenix being able to source 97% of vacancies directly.

 

"Our candidates and internal teams love documents created in PageTiger!

It’s easy to keep data safe, through different access controls for different use cases. You can set everything up yourself within the PageTiger settings, so we aren’t reliant on any other internal or external teams to help us create, manage or publish documents."

Following the guide's success, Phoenix created an internally available guide for hiring managers on their recruitment process, now their main source of information for People Leaders on all things recruitment.
 
90% of hiring managers have used the guide at least once in 2024.
