Success Stories

“

This has been a hearts and mind project. There was a lot of myth busting to be done. A change in behaviour and mindset was required, and while we wanted to ensure we are measuring quality, we didn’t want to put any barriers up. We needed to take the focus from quantity, to bringing in people who stay and progress

It’s critical that we make the right hiring decisions, particularly as the Global Strategy Team is such an important part of our talent pipeline. In selecting Sova Assessment, we’ve found a partner who understood our business needs and built a solution which feels very much part of LexisNexis.

Initially we viewed the introduction of virtual assessment centres as a solution to continue with vital recruitment during the nationwide lockdown. After running several centres, we realised the benefits of these centres were far greater. Administrative costs have been dramatically reduced and travel costs for assessors and candidates completely removed.
