Recruiting IT profiles for SMEs without soaring costs: the IBGraf case study
Discover how IBGraf structured its IT recruitment for SMEs, reduced its reliance on agencies, and regained control over candidate acquisition.
The Starting Point
Recruiting IT profiles is a challenge for all companies, but even more so for SMEs. Technical profiles are in high demand, highly sought after, and often difficult to attract.
IBGraf, an SME active in IT technology solutions with several locations in Belgium and Luxembourg, regularly needed to recruit IT profiles in a competitive market.
Before Jobloom, the company faced three difficulties: high costs, reliance on recruitment agencies, and a lack of centralisation across its sites.
The need was clear: regain control of recruitment, reduce costs, and structure the organisation.
Why is a specific solution necessary for IT recruitment in SMEs?
IT SMEs face particular constraints.
- Technical profiles are highly sought after and quickly compare opportunities.
- Large companies often have a more visible employer brand.
- Reliance on agencies can generate significant costs for each recruitment.
- Multi-site recruitment can become difficult to coordinate without a common tool.
- Lack of centralisation slows down decisions and complicates follow-up.
In this context, an SME must be able to attract its candidates directly, highlight its work environment, and accurately track each recruitment.
How Jobloom addresses these challenges
Multi-posting for direct recruitment
Jobloom allows offers to be automatically broadcast across multiple channels. IBGraf can thus increase the visibility of its opportunities without relying solely on intermediaries.
This approach provides access to more candidates and enables direct acquisition.
A career site to enhance attractiveness
The career site gives IBGraf a clear entry point to present the company, its projects, teams, and opportunities.
In IT recruitment, candidates want to understand the technical environment, culture, and prospects. A well-designed career site helps meet these expectations.
A centralised ATS to structure recruitment
All applications are gathered in one tool. Teams can track candidates, organise decisions, and maintain a clear overview of all recruitments.
This centralisation is particularly important in a multi-site organisation.
Management adapted to multiple locations
Each entity can manage its own recruitment while maintaining overall consistency. Local teams remain autonomous, while the company retains a structured overview.
