Chase Zander implements a Customer Service first for the recruitment industry (April 2008)
Chase Zander the London and Birmingham based Executive Recruitment Consultancy has this month become the very first Recruitment Company to roll out Feefo, a genuine independent customer feedback system.
Feefo provides an online interactive forum for feedback and is designed to be transparent and comprehensive, with no editing or hidden agendas and puts Chase Zander very much on the side of its clients and candidates allowing them to give candid feedback on their customer experience and service received in real time. Chase Zander prides itself on its culture of change and continual improvement in which the whole team gets to input ideas and implement new processes. Now our clients and candidates get even more of a say through feedback published on Feefo which we use to implement change and provide consultant training. Feefo enables Chase Zander to go that extra mile and continually raise the bar to match the best standards of customer service in and beyond the Recruitment Industry.
“At Chase Zander, part of our mission statement is to ‘continually raise the bar to match the best standards of customer service in and beyond the recruitment industry’ so when a management consultant suggested Feefo it was something we were very keen to do.” says Adam Tallamy, Managing Director. “Feefo has provided Chase Zander with a way of inviting our candidates and clients to give us feedback, which critically we cannot edit, yet which is published online, so we focus on every interaction much more closely which benefits everyone involved. We can then use feedback proactively to continually assess and improve our service. We feel that this could signal the start of a long-overdue revolution in customer service in the industry and Chase Zander is proud to be the innovator leading the way.”
“We won’t pretend it hasn’t been scary and initially there were some isolated examples of very bad feedback but that has just pushed us to raise our game and feedback now is overwhelmingly positive” said Emily White, Business Support Manager at Chase Zander.
In fact Feefo has already had a massive positive impact on the way the Chase Zander team works; there is a ‘competitive buzz’ about the office with each consultant wanting to receive the best feedback rating. Emily added that “Chase Zander consultants are not only rewarded on their financial targets but also against the company brand values so we felt confident that our feedback would be generally positive and still leave room to drive improved customer service.”
Feefo spokesman Ed Lennox is sure that it will not be long before other service driven recruitment companies will want to follow in Chase Zander’ footsteps by using Feefo to gain valuable feedback from candidates and clients. In light of the bad press recruitment companies have received in the past when it comes to service, it can only be a good thing to show there is nothing to hide!
