In 2019 I have made the business case for the LinkedIn TSEP contract. The situation was 19! different LinkedIn dashboards across the Globe, some with (unutilized - manual) job slots. The first step was a test to see if job slots are successful. Migrated all the 10 Dutch dashboards into one. Adding job wrapping to the combined job slots. Which was a success. So based on that and desk research I finalised the business case and presented it. Contract negotiated with procurement. Drafted the migration plan, executed this together with the other stakeholders in the different regions. Without any interruptions or flaws (together with LinkedIn) Set-up a local LinkedIn Recruiter Champion structure. Trained them to do the 1st/2nd line questions & admin tasks. Retrained them based on analysis of 3rd line support and other questions they had. Nudging recruiters to use the full potential of LinkedIn Recruiter by gamified challenges. (I can't share the data, but it is stunning)
