The starting point

In the industrial sector, hiring the right profiles can quickly become expensive. Companies often have a strong culture, specific roles, and a genuine employer value proposition, but this is not always visible to candidates.

Dalemans already had a clear identity, strong values and a well-defined internal culture. However, this employer brand was not being fully leveraged as a recruitment tool.

The company still relied heavily on intermediaries to attract candidates. Some hires could cost as much as 15,000 euros through agencies.

So the problem wasn’t the company’s attractiveness. The problem was the lack of a system to make this attractiveness visible, to spread it, and to turn it into applications.

Why is a specific solution necessary for industrial recruitment?

Le recrutement industriel présente plusieurs enjeux.

  • Les métiers sont parfois techniques ou spécifiques, ce qui rend les profils plus difficiles à trouver.
  • Les candidats doivent comprendre l’environnement de travail, la culture et les perspectives.
  • Les agences peuvent représenter un coût important à chaque recruitment.
  • Une marque employeur invisible ne génère pas suffisamment de candidatures directes.
  • Sans outil structuré, l’entreprise manque de visibilité sur ce qui fonctionne réellement.

Dans ce contexte, l’enjeu est de construire un système autonome capable d’attirer les candidats en direct.

How Jobloom addresses these issues

A careers site to bring the employer brand to life

Jobloom made it possible to create a careers site that embodies Dalemans’ culture, showcases its professions, and makes people want to join the company.

The employer brand becomes visible, tangible, and accessible to candidates.

Automatic distribution of offers

The job postings are shared across multiple channels to increase visibility and reach candidates who might not necessarily have been reached through the usual channels.

This distribution helps reduce reliance on intermediaries.

A simple, standalone management tool

Applications are centralized in a single tool. The company can track its recruitment, manage profiles, and make decisions with greater control.

Dalemans gains autonomy and has better control over its process.

A reduction in recruitment costs

By attracting more direct candidates, the company limits the systematic use of agencies and reduces the associated costs.
