Makro has implemented StepStone Solutions’ e-recruitment platform, which now handles the wholesaler’s recruitment processes through new online careers portal www.makrocareers.co.uk.

Makro anticipates that the site, which went live in June, will provide a 150% return on investment (ROI) within 12 months.

Nicola Lake, head of resourcing at Makro, says: “Our new careers website will not only transform the way candidates can search for and apply for jobs, but also improve our in-house management of the recruitment process. The majority of the job applications we were receiving were speculative, but our new system gives greater visibility of what opportunities exist at Makro for those wanting to join us. It even provides automated job alerts, which eliminate a lot of the admin for us. Our investment in www.makrocareers.co.uk sets us apart from our competitors and we want to do everything we can to attract the best talent to deliver the best possible service to our customers.”
