2 EDF Energy Structure Before 2012 Visual of model pre 2012: Decentralised Operations with no central leadership role Advantages of model pre 2012: Personal service to the Line Manager In Customers and Nuclear New Build there are small teams dedicated to recruitment Customers Business Generation Business Nuclear New Build Corporate Steering Functions Deep Business Unit knowledge On site support from HR resource Centralised Recruiting Team Shared Service Structure Outsourced Structure Attributes of model (high level): HRBP/Line Recruiting Structure No central leadership of the recruitment function; 4 different models, aligned closely to Business Units. Strong business unit focus, no candidate focus No candidate management technology, no use of social media. Extensive use of recruitment agencies, with no performance management or control of suppliers Lack of Management Information, Key Performance Indicators or Performance Metrics around the effectiveness of the recruitment function, pipeline management, diversity or quality Disadvantages of model pre 2012: No central leadership; cost inefficiencies; no reporting/mi capability Large and uncontrolled/unmanaged recruitment agency expenditure ( 12m) No centralised one best way process; no performance management of the function No candidate management technology platform No use of direct sourcing channels to drive cost down Silo-ed working within Business Units; duplication of effort, limited value add Employer Brand confusion in the market; inconsistent candidate experience 2

3 Why change the model? The facts, business drivers and benefits Drivers & Facts Why? Benefits Why not? Who s done it too? Significant Business Needs over 8,000 permanent hires by 2015 Our recruiting cycle time today is nearly 100 working days that s 4 months! Our average cost per hire is 4k+ that s unacceptable in a business where more than 50% of the recruitment is under 30k ABS! We ve spent over 12m on 3 rd Party Recruiting Suppliers It s a Candidate Market & we re not in the lead: Talent Crunch & Engineering skills shortage Opportunity to reduce costs by leveraging our size lack of governance & compliance Inconsistent candidate experience Variety of processes, with pockets of excellence; loss of control on compliance & equal opp s Dissatisfaction with current process & service; Brand confusion; weak image & employer brand Limited central supplier management opportunity to synergise more 3 Cost saving by centralising and building internal capability Greater Synergies with EDF Group. Allowing greater supplier leverage due to our size and ownership of an international talent pool, facilitating greater penetration into the candidate market through multiple cross Group channels Develop a robust Employer Brand which gives us a strong sustainable presence in the candidate market place Creating efficiencies in terms of process, technology and supplier management. Improving quality, time to hire and candidate experience Transparency and accountability of the recruitment team back to the business! Objective data to measure team as well as supplier performance; Metrics/Key Performance Indicators Shell, GE, Lloyds, Novartis, Dell, (some in pockets, some across the organisation) Majority of comments have been around increased efficiencies and the immediate effect on bottom line cost Saving doesn t necessarily come from headcount reduction, more process efficiencies. Immediate impact on candidate experience Speed of hiring has improved, but accountabilities and roles need to be very clear Best results when managed as a commercial service to the business with accountabilities held as basis of Service Level Agreements

4 EDF Energy Structure From 2012 Visual of model from 2012 (high level): Strong central leadership of the recruitment function, encompassing all areas: operational recruitment (Permanent & FTC); agency workers recruitment; internal movement; graduate and pipeline recruitment No business unit allegiance strong focus on candidate as the customer. Recruiters are functionally focused and build external talent pipelines in their field (e.g. HR, Finance, Engineering, Marketing ) Focus on Metrics, reporting, performance management of the function. Commercial internal agency approach State of the art Candidate Management Technology (CMS) implemented in December Operational Delivery CMS Administrator Agency Workers Head of Internal Mobility, Expatriation & Immigration Attributes of model (high level): Sourcing Channels Future Capability & Early Careers (Graduate & Pipeline ) Advantages of model from 2012: Implementation of new CMS technology reaped instant benefits, such as access to accurate metrics & MI, performance data of the function, immediate reduction of expenditure by focusing of direct candidate sourcing (halved cost per hire in year 1, see Performance slide x) One Team, One Process, One System, One Employer Brand, One Candidate Experience Increase in digital capability and measurable access to social media for resourcing purposes: LinkedIn, Facebook Clear line of sight, clear accountabilities of every actor in the recruitment process Dramatic reduction of recruitment agency usage (from 36% pre 2012 to 4% today) Inadequate workforce planning and projection of recruitment volumes force the model to be even more agile and flexible to deliver to business needs challenges! Challenges of model from 2012: Diverse spectrum of vacancies makes it hard to keep the functional focus of our recruiters Continuous improvement of our function by continuing the development and investment in our CMS technology
