The 2021 Beamie Award Winners
Talent Acquisition Innovator of the Year – Balfour Beatty
Collected by Balfour Beatty, this award recognizes an organization who has gone above-and-beyond to embrace change and transform the talent function, to meet the changing needs of the business.
Balfour Beatty has supercharged its talent transformation efforts this year by kicking off a major program designed to amplify the hiring efforts of one of its largest business units. The innovation in how the team used the platform was evident. Not only were they able to leverage a multi-channel approach, allowing hiring managers to have direct access to recruiters to improve collaboration and which made the experience significantly faster and more efficient, the team also filled nearly all positions listed in the original campaign.
Best Campaign of the Year - VMWare
Beamery is continuously inspired by the way clients use its platform to create compelling and unique campaigns to attract and engage candidates.
This year’s ‘best campaign’ award went to VMWare for the new series of global newsletters it created. Sent to sales professionals and solution engineers, some of the most highly coveted and challenging roles to fulfill in the market today, each newsletter was carefully designed with an intentional call-to-action; supported with a relevant thought-leadership article and information on the latest company financials. This campaign was reported as significantly outperforming previous campaigns similar in scope and has now become a blueprint for success. VMWare secured over 715 applicants, expediting their speed to value by highlighting over 100 candidates as part of the VMinclusion initiative - established to designate diverse candidates while removing bias.
The Global Newcomer of the Year - Ocado
The Global Newcomer of the Year award rewards a bold vision to support the talent acquisition function in new ways, and this year Ocado received the coveted accolade.
Having embodied a commitment to success from day one, strategically crafting an implementation to enhance the ability to attract, engage, and retain talent, Ocado partnered with Beamery to truly put talent transformation at the heart of its business. Ocado has since seen tremendous results through its newly launched Talent Community, as well as optimizing how the team sources, manages and selects the right candidates for the right job, at the right time. Ocado’s ability to adapt, change and shift to accommodate in-demand skills, whilst managing rapid company growth, has caught the attention of the market.
