"The proof is in the pudding that off the back of this we’ve been able to invoice a 6 figure sum of unclaimed fees in only 2 months and if that doesn’t speak for itself I don’t know what does."

Background
Phaidon International is a professional services organisation that works with thousands of businesses across the globe. Focusing on areas such as Finance, Legal, Life Sciences and Engineering, they have become one of the top 10 largest permanent staffing organisations in the world.
❌ Before
When checking for backdoor hires, hundreds of man hours would be spent manually checking. Checks would vary greatly in precision and most candidates would only be checked once during their introduction period.
✅ After
Phaidon implemented Illumini’s software to ensure all of their CV sends are consistently checked every month, whilst spending minimal time on processing these.
▶️ Rollout
1. Illumini performed the first search, cross referencing all of their CV sends and identifying all candidates who had begun work with no placement on record for the introduction they had made.
2. Phaidon then implemented a system to alert the heads of each brand of each case and begin a process of reaching out to clients in non-damaging ways.
3. Ongoing support from Illumini has ensured our technology works to their current processes and eliminates any manual checks.

"The proof is in the pudding that off the back of this we’ve been able to invoice a 6 figure sum of unclaimed fees in only 2 months and if that doesn’t speak for itself I don’t know what does.
Really impressed with the product and the team. Data comes back quickly and allows us to move quickly and that’s so important right now. The UX is really good and easy to digest and understand. These guys just seem to get recruitment data and what it means which is a powerful partnership to have."

"Illumini is the first tool I have seen which reliably and regularly highlights potential backdoor fees. We have known for years that this practice can happen but historically there was no way of easily and accurately identifying those cases.
Illumini has provided a reliable way to identify such cases based on interviews conducted and even CVs submitted and Phaidon has gained a high level of ROI from using the platform, as well as great support from Adam and Ben, I would highly recommend."
