Recruitment Director Software

Key Features

Fully Customisable System

With the powerful screen design tool included in Recruitment Director, users can manage the features and benefits provided by their system. This is done by adding or modifying screens and data-fields. User-defined screens are fully integrated with the system database, and with the letter-generation, reporting and security tools provided.

Powerful Reporting Tools

The standard Recruitment Director system includes a wide variety of pre-defined report templates. These are designed to report on all aspects of the recruitment process. Reports can be viewed on-screen, printed; copies can be sent via e-mail or published on a web-server.  Users can modify the standard report templates if required, but further to this, they can also create new report templates using the design tool.

Centralised Action List

Recruitment Director incorporates a centralised action list designed to manage details of any actions associated with recruitment activities, and to ensure users never miss key dates. Actions are allocated to individual users and given an action-by date. In addition, actions can be associated with any record, in any screen (for example, a particular interview) enabling the user to categorise actions as required.

Applicant Matching & Searches

Users can search the candidate details recorded in the database for candidates whose attributes match attribute profiles defined for vacancies. In addition, users can define one-off searches based on the candidate attributes, or search attached documents (for example CVs) for keywords.

Administrative Automation

The system enables the user to consider a candidate for any number of vacancies, and as these applications progress through the various recruitment stages (invite for interview, offer position, etc.) the system will initiate the appropriate automation. Not only does this help to maintain standards of recruitment (as a standard approach is always taken), but it also saves the user time in processing applications. The automation also ensures that a history of all contact with candidates is retained. The stages of the recruitment process and the letters generated by the automation are defined by the user.

Letter and Email Generation

Recruitment Director contains ready-to-merge recruitment letters created using MS Word. These include acknowledgement letters, interview invitations, regret letters, reference letters, job offers, etc. Users can modify these standard letters or add their own standard letters as required. Letters can be sent to candidates as part of the automation, or as and when requested; these can be printed and posted or delivered via e-mail. To generate letters and e-mails, the uses MS Office applications (MS Word and MS Outlook). The system can link to MS Office 97, MS Office 2000 and MS Office XP applications.

Publish to Web Module

The Recruitment Director Web Publishing Module allows you to publish your vacancies onto your website, and have applicants apply for jobs directly from there.  Applicant details are then automatically recorded within Recruitment Director.  You control the look and feel of the recruitment pages within the website. Visitors to the page can browse through the list of vacancies, and can look at more information if required by clicking on the Details hyperlink for the entry. This displays the vacancy details page. They can also apply online (by clicking on Apply). This displays the online application form. Users do not have to request any action from web-site design personnel to change the vacancy information listed on their website; any changes made to vacancy details in the RD system are made instantaneously on the website.  Try out the Web Module online now!

Web Client Available

Users can access the Recruitment Director system either via the Windows Client software, or via a Web client. The Web client provides around 80% of the functionality offered by the Windows client and it is therefore suitable for occasional users of the system. Frequent users of Recruitment Director should use the Windows client. Full access to data held within the system is available via the Web client (including attachments). Users can look up information, modify it, add and delete entries. Users also have access to reports, letters and filters via the Web client; however they cannot define new reports, letters or filters or modify existing definitions. One of the key benefits of the Web client is that no additional software needs to be installed on the user"s PC to enable them to access the system; access to the Web client is via a Web browser (for example Internet Explorer).  The Web client uses the same user accounts (and security profiles) as the Windows client. This means that, if a user is not able to access particular data using the Windows Client, they will not be able to do this using the Web Client either. This extends to other resources also (for example letters and reports).
