The challenge

Eden Scott, a prestigious and well-established Edinburgh-based recruitment firm, faced significant challenges integrating their Vincere CRM and real-world event activity with email marketing - without compromising data integrity. They turned to Kulea, a trusted platform partner specialising in email marketing automation and CRM integration for the staffing and recruitment industry.

Goals & objectives

What Eden Scott needed to solve

Efficient communication

Streamline communication with candidates and clients for enhanced engagement.

Data security & integrity

Ensure relevant CRM fields pass to Kulea securely for targeting, segmentation, and personalisation - without manual import/export from Vincere.

Data hygiene & domain reputation

Data is the lifeblood of any recruitment firm. Any data fed into Kulea needed to be consistently cleansed and enriched, before sending.

Ewan Anderson

"Whilst Vincere is a great recruitment CRM, it lacks the email marketing capabilities required for us to engage with our clients and candidates at a deeper level. The Kulea ETL completely overcomes this hurdle. Every night new clients and contacts are passed across into Kulea securely and efficiently, without us having to lift a finger, and the data is even validated and enriched along the way."

Implementation

How it was solved

Data enrichment & cleansing

Kulea cleansed and enriched Eden Scott's client data during migration from Vincere to Kulea, ensuring all data was up to date for segmentation, targeting and personalisation.

Custom tracking & bot identification

Custom tracking links and advanced bot identification isolated and protected Eden Scott's domain reputation. False click and open events were identified and removed, improving campaign accuracy.

Enhanced security measures

Multi-Factor Authentication and SSL on all accounts and data transfers, with all EU data stored in London data centres - ensuring full GDPR compliance.

Branded landing page data capture

Branded landing pages allowed Eden Scott to collect candidate data directly into Kulea from iPads and phones during student recruitment fairs.

Improved integration through Kulea

Initially using Zapier, which lacked critical capabilities, Eden Scott migrated to Kulea's ETL for a more robust integration - including the ability to create new candidates in Vincere and trigger events when new contacts were added.

Ewan Anderson

"We're a long time user of Kulea, and I can confidently say the team there really know their stuff. Not only have they built a powerful two-way integration between Kulea and our Vincere account; they even identified issues with our CMS to Vincere integration and advised our web development agency (who built the integration) on how to fix the problem! The Kulea platform enables us to send out automated drip campaigns, large scale client and candidate comms, and fully personalised and targeted content, all through a user-friendly and intuitive UI."
