From smart planning tool to conversion machine
The Timing app, which we wrote about earlier in this case study, has been revamped. Timing's flex workers already used the smart planning tool to view hours worked, review the weekly schedule or request leave. But the recent addition of personalized job postings, among other things, turned the app into a real conversion machine, increasing the total number of mobile applications by 248 percent. An important step for Timing in an increasingly difficult job market.
After its launch, the Timing app quickly grew to become the top-rated app in the Dutch staffing industry. Initially, the app was only intended and accessible for temporary workers who already worked for Timing. In addition to being able to arrange all kinds of practical work matters, you could use the 'Work' button in the bottom navigation to view vacancies on Timing's website. The app thus acted as a referral channel for job applications.
Personal and relevant job postings
Together with Timing, we are always looking for new ways to optimize the user experience and engagement on job postings. This is how we keep Timing's temporary workers and customers happy. An important wish was to use the app more effectively as an intake channel. By offering personal and relevant vacancies to app users, we believe we can contribute directly to Timing's objectives.
Customer Data Platform
Move is Timing's digital knowledge partner. We are responsible for the (continued) development and maintenance of the mobile app. We also provide part of the digital infrastructure with which Timing offers flex workers and clients an optimal user experience. In order to fill vacancies through the app faster, a personalized vacancy function and application function were required. For this, the app must bring together data on the back end about both vacancies and (potential) candidates.
The integration of the Customer Data Platform (CDP) Blueconic makes it possible to unlock this multifaceted data on demand from different sources and to use it effectively. As a result, the app shows each individual user the most suitable vacancies that currently match their work experience, education and place of residence. Search behavior in the app and on the Timing website also play a role in this: the CDP automatically adds the search data to the personal profiles and recommendations.
The CDP provides many new features within the app. Users who open the app are now instantly presented with a selection of jobs that seamlessly match personal preference and suitability. In addition, the app can promote selected jobs with a promo box or a set of personalized push messages. And thanks to the new native application flow, candidates post their applications directly through the app with just two button presses.
Digital Personalization Power
What is super interesting for Timing is that the app is now attractive to people who do not (yet) work for Timing. The app now not only serves as a relationship tool, but also develops as a low-threshold entry and flow channel. Through smart data processing, Timing is getting to know the preferences of unknown users better. This enables increasingly accurate selection of suitable candidates for a vacancy. Initial indications strongly suggest that Timing therefore needs to approach fewer candidates per vacancy. This improved 'placement ratio' naturally also results in lower costs and an accelerated recruitment process.
'Through the intensive cooperation of the past few years, we see that Move understands our business and acts as a full-fledged partner. This allows us to develop effectively and quickly, following the trends in our market. We've launched an incredibly valuable app for our users and business.'
In addition to being able to fill vacancies faster, Timing benefits from the new digital personalization power in other ways. For example, the richer profiles can help identify flex workers who have grown bored with their current positions at an early stage. As a result, Timing is always connected to the flex worker's needs and thus able to retain them for longer.
All-in-one app
The Timing app is increasingly becoming the centerpiece in the temporary worker's customer journey. In addition to registering, applying and managing work, we also see the app as a suitable channel for initiatives around personal development. This could manifest itself in the form of training, education and courses. The ultimate goal? Whatever you want to do at Timing, you arrange it in the app. Anytime, anywhere.
