Our service includes a range of features designed specifically to fit with Public and Not-for-Profit Sector recruitment processes. Some of the features your organisation could benefit from include:

Multi-site vacancy distribution

A single upload point populates vacancies across a network of sites, freeing up time and resource in HR to dedicate to value-add services.

Job role and document archive

A searchable archive of previous vacancies and supporting documents allows similar roles to be posted without having to create new documents. Posts can link to historical media performance analysis, helping inform future activity.

Multiple attachment capability

Attach as many documents as you like to each vacancy, including full colour application packs. All relevant information is thus available to candidates; there's no need to send paper application packs, saving time and money. And ensuring employers capitalise immediately on interest in their vacancies.

Application notifications

When an online application is submitted, you are notified by email. All relevant parties can thus be kept up to date, applications can be dealt with immediately, and internal administration is hugely reduced through electronic communication.

Candidate CRM

Our inbuilt CRM system lets you communicate with candidates at every stage of the recruitment process - application, shortlist, interview and beyond, enabling you to stay in touch with good candidates you cannot immediately offer a position.

Candidates receive regular updates on the status of applications, promoting real advocacy and improving perception of the employer.

Talent Pool

Our Talent Pool database allows you to search for candidates according to their profile. Now you can ask candidates if they're interested in applying to you!

This improves candidate quality and allows employers to maintain dialogue, ensuring strong applicants are not lost in a pile of old paperwork. Top quality candidates are available immediately - no more hold-ups because of press deadlines!

Application management

A complete online application history of all vacancies links to candidate CRM and MI, improving internal efficiency and helping monitor effectiveness. You can track where candidates are in the process, and allow access to relevant HR and line managers.

Recruiter activity audit trail

An activity trail for each individual authorised user, linked to vacancy information and application actions. This helps you measure the success of recruiting managers, and monitor applications from minority or other groups.

Comprehensive MI

Management information on all aspects of the recruitment process is available to both HR/personnel and line managers as relevant.

HRIS integration

Our system is designed to integrate with most common HRI systems, for both vacancy output and application input. This removes duplication of effort, with no need to re-key vacancy information or details of successful candidates.
