About YallaMotor

YallaMotor was launched in 2012 and has grown to become the most popular and trusted automotive portal in the Middle East. With the aim of simplifying vehicle research, buying, and selling, it serves over 1,000,000 car buyers per month and carries up-to-date information for over seventy-five brands sold in the region.

Providing visitors with the right set of tools to make well-informed purchasing decisions paired with handy shopping tools such as a unique special offers section, an in-depth car comparison tool, and a bustling used car section with over 14,000 cars- it’s easy to see why YallaMotor has become the region’s leading automotive portal.

Hiring Challenges Faced

An SME (small and medium enterprises) with a team of under 50, YallaMotor is a growing entity with a need to source candidates that can help them steer ahead in the automotive domain. Their sheer size and limited resources, however, make it difficult to reach out and engage with the right prospects, thus making it difficult for their employer brand to truly acquire top talent.

1) Finding qualified applicants: Without a dedicated head hunting team to fill available vacancies, YallaMotor struggled to build a candidate pool with the right skill sets and industry expertise to support their growth targets.

2) Expensive recruitment agencies: Having scarce resources, the company had to exercise caution to avoid fueling high costs of talent acquisition. Referrals and internal transfers were not a reliable option due to the small team size.

3) Weak employer branding: Without much expertise in the hiring domain, the company did not know what strategies to deploy to engage prospective talent.

4) Administrative hurdles: Due to the limited time executives had to review CVs and manage communications with applicants, there was a clear need for an automated system that did the heavy lifting for them through smart resume parsing and in-built workflows to keep hiring on track.

5) Inability to fill vacancies on time: With time-to-hire for positions being extremely long, there was a need for a solution to cut down recruitment time without compromising on talent quality.

6) Lack of reporting tools: Having no reporting dashboard to track productivity, talent sources and bottlenecks coming in way of meeting hiring goals, the management could not take precise corrective actions to streamline recruitment.

Talentera’s Solution To Streamline Recruitment & Talent Management

Talentera provided YallaMotor with a customized career portal that amplified their branding to help them position themselves as an employer-of-choice. Also, they expanded their reach and provided them with seamless CV search tools to enable fast and powerful search without the manual workflows.

1) Cost savings: Talentera’s affordability helped YallaMotor in ensuring that their budgets were being utilized towards pursuing their strategic goals. The ROI of the higher quality of hiring decisions and streamlined automation helped save money that would be otherwise spent on assistance from recruitment agencies.

2) Reduced time-to-hire: The ATS eliminated bottlenecks caused by redundant and time-intensive CV short-listing tasks. It provided the executives with a one-stop portal with CV search tools and consolidated profiles to find and communicate with talent of their interest leading to significantly quick hiring.

The detailed reporting dashboard allowed management to keep track of hiring activities and key metrics such as as applicant sources, and the volume of candidates in each stage of the hiring funnel (shortlisted, offer letter sent, interviewed, rejected, etc.). This ensured any inefficiencies were addressed timely to avoid delays in meeting hiring targets.

3) Improved candidate experience: With preset templates to help communicate with a large volume of applicants simultaneously, Talentera also enabled candidates to track their applications to always remain updated about their status in the hiring funnel.

4) Consistent compliance: Possessing a need to reach out to an international talent base, Talentera ensured compliance with regulations such as GDPR so that the business could continue focusing their efforts towards their day-to-day objectives without worrying about legal obligations.

5) Enhanced talent relevance: To keep up with growing business needs, the ATS provided the business with an ever-expanding candidate pipeline to acquire talent from. This convenience allowed YallaMotor to always have a highly qualified stream of applicants readily available in their database making it easy to scale and pursue urgent recruitment.

6) Revamped employer branding: Equipped a new custom branded portal, YallaMotor was able to attract and engage candidates to deliver a one-of-its-kind user-experience, market their presence, and ensure a seamless transition between their business and career websites.
