A wealth of content with nowhere to go

Oliver James' main challenge was unique: not a lack of content, but a wealth of high-quality content with nowhere to go. Everyone on the team was proud of the content and collateral they'd produced, but felt their current platform was no match for its depth or complexity. The learning experience, although detailed, was cumbersome and time-consuming, and a fast-paced company needed something that would streamline the process for every team member to feel informed and empowered from day one.

Everyone on the team had valuable expertise around recruitment best practice and performance enablement, but no structured way to capture and share it for skills development across the business.

Bespoke content for effective learning

Oliver James partnered with Thrive, both for their platform and custom content offering, to give staff the kind of unique, effective learning they deserved. The implementation process went off without a hitch with the help of their Implementation Specialist, Project Manager and the team at Thrive Custom Content, who perfectly understood Oliver James' vision and articulated it back to the team while guiding them through every step of the process.

Structured pathways gave consultants personalised learning journeys, while Spaces created communities for knowledge sharing and best practice across the business.

Unlocking the vault

Both the Thrive Platform and Custom Content teams turned Oliver James' vision into reality within a short time-frame. Upon launch, Oliver James aptly named their new internal platform "The OJ Vault" for its ability to provide the valuable knowledge they needed, exactly when they needed it. Thanks to Thrive's intuitive interface, staff are taking learning into their own hands, logging into the platform for knowledge rather than leaning on managers, and it's even helped some of them close critical business deals.

Analytics gave the team visibility of engagement and skills progression from launch, while mentoring helped senior consultants transfer expertise to the next generation of recruiters.

"I would recommend Thrive to other organisations, really simply because it works. They're head and shoulders above everyone else in terms of what the platform can do and usability, but for me, it just works.""
