​
Initially engaged to support Bell’s internal recruitment needs, Optamor quickly proved its worth when it came to finding the right candidates at a moment’s notice.
“I’ve never worked with an agency that operates quite like Optamor before. Acting as an extension to our team, their strong candidate-facing skills and ability to find, qualify and shortlist high-quality candidates for roles, with minimal drop-out rates, meant that they quickly became our primary and preferred provider,” says Jessica Harrington, Recruitment Manager at Bell Integration.

Within a short time, Optamor was tasked with undertaking candidate profiling and recruitment to support Bell’s managed service project resourcing needs.
“We’re a small team that needs to respond fast to upcoming fixed-term and contract resourcing requirements. To maintain and grow our market-leading position, we needed to work smarter and more strategically to capture hard-to-find talent. That includes accurately projecting upcoming resourcing needs, so we always have the right talent in our sights and ready to onboard in a timely manner,” continues Jessica.
​
That’s when Bell Integration turned to Optamor to help transform its resourcing capabilities.

Responsible for creating a live database of candidates and their skills that makes it easy for Bell to quickly identify how many individuals have the right set of competencies required for roles, Optamor has transformed resourcing processes to ensure Bell Integration retains its competitive edge where talent acquisition is concerned. That includes how well Bell utilises talent across all its managed service lines of business.
