Essendi
- Hotels
- Co-option
- Internal mobility
How Essendi transformed its cooptation platform into an internal HR management tool to cope with an unprecedented context.
How do you structure a co-optation process ?
With the health crisis of 2020, the Essendi group, a specialist in hospitality and hotel management, underwent a real HR upheaval. Recruitment freeze, overstaffing due to hotel closures, ad hoc needs during summer reopenings… HR tools had to be rethought in an agile way.
Initially dedicated to external co-optation, the Keycoopt platform was then entirely reoriented towards internal use, becoming a central lever for :
- Offer secondment assignments of variable duration,
- Distribute staff according to real needs in the region,
- Encourage internal mobility between plants,
- Managing resources in turbulent times.

Professionalizing co-optation and internal mobility
The health crisis caused a sudden turnaround in human resources management:
- Freeze on external recruitment
- Overstaffing at certain sites
- Temporary staff shortages in others, especially during summer reopenings
- Need to quickly mobilize employees on part-time work
The initial co-optation tool no longer met these new internal challenges.
- Set up a single internal mobility tool at national level
- Provide full visibility of positions across the Group
- Simplify procedures for employees and recruiters alike
Impact of Keycoopt
Thanks to the responsiveness of the Keycoopt team, the platform was quickly adapted to offer internal mobility as an alternative to cooptation. Keycoopt also made it possible to create a space dedicated to one-off secondments, to meet peaks in activity. Employees now benefit from a simple interface to create an account, consult job offers and apply.
The HR department can now centrally control internal movements, and digitally manage the application and secondment management process.
We have gone from using it exclusively for recruitment to using it as a genuine internal resources management tool. The platform has become the sole channel for proposing secondments and managing mobility. Our employees connect directly to it to consult offers and position themselves. It's simple, fluid and meets our HR needs. The fact that the platform is intuitive and that the Keycoopt team is always present and responsive was a determining factor in our adoption of the tool.
Customized support
The Keycoopt team supported Essendi at every stage of the platform’s transformation:
- Rapid activation of the internal mobility function
- Deactivation of co-optation within a few days
- Webinars & e-learning for HR recruiters
- Creation of personalized QR codes to facilitate registration
- Provision of educational tutorials for employees
- Ongoing support, fast response to field requests
” The Keycoopt team, and in particular Garry our Project Manager, were very present throughout the project. Every question was answered promptly, and every problem solved. We were supported in a very professional, responsive and human way. . ”
