The Brief:
Walmart is a U.S.-based multinational retailer operating hypermarkets and department stores in 28 countries.
To support the financial operations of its stores across the Americas, Walmart decided to establish a new shared services center (SSC). The client chose Page Outsourcing to help them staff the SSC because of our success and previous experience in similar projects.
The Solution:
Our specialized team comprised of a project manager and a team of dedicated recruiters.
Our solution included follow-up reports and KPI tracking. We conducted daily conference calls with the client’s recruitment team and provided a weekly activity tracker alongside regular project updates to global stakeholders.
- Daily data shared with the client included indicators such as resumes sent, interviews with hiring managers conducted, background checks executed, and roles closed
- Accounting profiles were classified as complex due to the high volume of candidates we needed to source (40+ hires per month)
- To source candidates, we posted advertisements on prominent job boards and leveraged our connections with universities and accounting schools
The Impact:
- 120 bilingual accounting profiles for the shared services center
- Reduction in delivery times to one week
- 100% of offers accepted
