RENA TAN
Marketing Director - Randstad Singapore

challenge

To optimise their marketing campaigns, Randstad needed to know which marketing channel gave the best leads and which leads turned cold. How can Randstad integrate its martech stack to create a holistic picture of its recruitment marketing funnel?

The recruitment firm also wanted to focus on improving customer satisfaction instead of floundering around to find the source of dissatisfaction. They needed a streamlined method to replace its manual NPS generation process.

solution

To tackle the first challenge, DP designed an end-to-end ROI attribution model and dashboard through the integration of Randstad’s tech stack. For the second challenge, our team successfully implemented a fully automated NPS system on Marketo that gave Randstad real-time scoring and analytics of its NPS in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore.

outcome

- Live insights on lead generation and multi-channel conversion rates which led to improvements in ROI

- 12x improvement in Randstad’s NPS system after 1 year
