Mindmill’s Integration into a Major UK Organisation’s CRM System
Background
A major UK organisation, recruiting thousands of people annually, sought to streamline their candidate assessment process. They needed a solution that could integrate seamlessly with their existing CRM system to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and data security. Mindmill was chosen to develop and implement this solution, leveraging their expertise in role-based assessments and secure data handling.
Challenge
- High Volume of Roles: The organisation processed thousands of roles annually, requiring a scalable and efficient assessment solution.
- Clunky Systems: The existing systems were clunky and did not integrate well, leading to frequent breakdowns and bugs.
- Data Silos: Disparate systems created data silos, making it difficult to gain a comprehensive view of candidate information.
- Data Privacy: Ensuring candidate data privacy and compliance with GDPR was a critical concern.
Solution
Mindmill integrated their assessment platform into the organisation’s CRM system via API, providing a seamless and automated solution for candidate assessments.
- Seamless Integration:
- API Integration: Mindmill’s system was integrated into the organisation’s CRM via API, allowing the CRM to call Mindmill’s platform to initiate assessments.

- Automated Assessment Process:
- Candidate Communication: Mindmill’s platform automatically emailed candidates with instructions and links to the assessments.
- Digital Delivery: All assessments were delivered digitally, eliminating the need for manual, pencil-and-paper testing.
- Instant Results: The digital platform provided instant scoring and results, significantly reducing the time required for assessment.
- Data Handling and Reporting:
- Anonymous Processing: The process was 100% anonymous, with Mindmill only receiving a candidate ID. No personal details were visible to Mindmill, ensuring privacy and compliance with GDPR.
- Custom Data Formats: Assessment results were sent back to the CRM in a format specified by the organisation, allowing for easy integration and further processing.
