Case study: Bank Ochrony Środowiska

The recruitment platform we built for Bank Ochrony Środowiska is a modern tool supporting recruitment processes in attracting and engaging employees. It combines the informational and employer branding value of a corporate Careers page with a recruitment referral system, and is closely matched to the Bank's brand identity and recruitment needs.

The situation

Bank Ochrony Środowiska expected the creation of a modern, comprehensive Careers page that would not only support the Bank's recruitment processes and build the institution's value as a sought-after employer, but also promote a positive image of the institution with its unique differentiator: a pro-environmental mission.

Bank Ochrony Środowiska has operated on the Polish market for over 26 years. During that time, it has allocated nearly PLN 18 billion to financing projects related to broadly understood environmental protection. The total value of pro-environmental investments completed with BOŚ support has exceeded PLN 48.5 billion. While supporting environmentally friendly projects, the Bank simultaneously offers a full spectrum of modern financial services aimed at individual and institutional clients, including the small and medium-sized enterprise sector.

Working at BOŚ means the opportunity to co-create projects unique on the market that go beyond the standards of banking activity. Thanks to the Bank's pro-environmental mission and its effective combination of business and ecology, employees can take part in innovative investments such as renewable energy sources, waste management, or energy efficiency. These also include revitalization projects bringing neglected areas of Polish cities back to life.

Our answer

To acquire new employees more effectively and at a lower cost, while gaining a new tool for communicating its strengths, BOŚ decided to launch its own dedicated recruitment platform.

The platform consists of six components:

• A Careers page
• A recruitment referral system – for employees
• A recruitment referral system – for people outside the Bank
• A standalone application tracking system, ready for integration with any ATS
• A CSR module allowing all or part of the rewards for successful referrals to be donated to causes run by the BOŚ Foundation
• A help desk and full program management by ShareHire

As a result, the Bank carried out a pioneering project of outsourcing its Careers page together with the accompanying broad range of modules and additional services. The management of these processes was entrusted to ShareHire. We developed the program rules, prepared the terms and consents, ensured compliance with data protection authority requirements, and handled the payout and settlement of rewards. Thanks to this, the Bank saves time and can focus on its core activities.

Moreover, like every one of our Clients, BOŚ has constant access to our specialists, who support its communication processes and help optimize the referral program.

Client testimonial

"Our starting point was the slogan: 'Build a bank unlike any other with us', and our goal was to draw potential candidates' attention to our unique mission, values, and offer as an employer. Integrating the Careers page with the referral system allows us to attract more applications and ensures a better match between candidates and the positions posted in the system."
