INTRODUCTION
MBNL burst onto the scene in 2007 when EE and Three joined forces to form a globally renowned, ground-breaking joint venture which has delivered a bigger, better, multi-award-winning network that delivers on speed, coverage and capacity for the millions of customers who use it. MBNL’s mission is to create exceptional value for our Shareholders (EE & 3) by delivering and managing their best network experiences at the lowest cost. To support this mission, a project to re-define a set of MBNL behaviours was started. These behaviours would help MBNL continue its journey, and work as a guide to recruit future talent. An opportunity was seen to increase the consistency of recruitment by aligning the process more closely to these new behaviours, with a system that offered more transparency around psychometric assessments.

THE CHALLENGE
THE OUTCOME |
MBNL chose to work with Propel International for a number of reasons. Firstly, they could use multiple psychometric assessments from different providers in a simple way. The Propel Talent Portal has a way to launch the tools easily, with candidates receiving one link with single-sign-on for both tools. The traits from the two tools – one personality tool and one emotional intelligence tool – were mapped to the MBNL behaviours, creating a custom MBNL-branded report to support the recruitment process. The report and branding help to further establish and embed MBNL’s values and behaviours.

MBNL have noted that the speed and simplicity Propel offers, coupled with the flexibility to use various assessments as and when needed, has helped reduce admin within the recruitment team. The feedback from the Hiring Managers has been equally positive, both in terms of the output of the assessments, and the ease with which the bespoke reports can be used to support the recruitment process. The insight and clarity from the bespoke reports have proven invaluable.

"We were excited about implementing new psychometric assessments as we had been using a different provider for some time. However, Propel's bespoke platform for MBNL, aligned to our competencies, has proven easy to use and understand – particularly for those not trained in psychometric assessments – and has been great at identifying areas to explore further during the recruitment process. The next stage for us is to use Propel’s platform for internal development. " |
