“Société Générale’s motto is Getting to know you better so we can serve you better, and thanks to Aequivalent’s background check, this also applies to the recruitment process.”
– Brice Rattez, Human Resources Director
Initial situation
Société Générale operates in a highly competitive environment where skills and integrity of its employees and the security of its information are of paramount importance.
In 2018, Aequivalent was mandated by Société Générale to improve the continuity and quality of its recruitment. This was done in compliance with FINMA regulations on background and integrity checks for employees. A simple, digital and experience-driven process for prospective employees was one of the priorities of the HR organisation.
Challenges
- Ensure candidate centric, transparent and privacy friendly recruitment.
- Identify and assess the risks associated with the recruitment of staff to ensure the bank’s integrity.
- Reduce the administrative burden on HR, as manual management is time-consuming and tedious.
- Comply with legal requirements relating to background checks and protection of personal data
Improvements
- Improved communication with candidates thanks to an intuitive online platform and two multilingual support centers.
- Reducing the risk of recruiting inappropriate candidates for positions with responsibilities in the bank.
- Aequivalent provides standardised and easy-to-understand reports that save HR time.
- Personnel files that comply with applicable regulations thanks to the checks carried out by Aequivalent.
