Charteris plc streamlines its recruitment processes With eploy®
Charteris plc, an IT consultancy that specialises in business change through the strategic application of technology, has selected eploy® to provide its market leading web-based recruitment software, to help streamline its corporate selection and hiring function in order to attract prospective candidates via the Internet and provide direct access to job opportunities.
Following extensive market research across a broad range of suppliers, Charteris chose eploy® as they were able to deliver a software solution that would cost effectively and simply meet the key recruitment functions needed for the business. Clive Harper, Charteris's Human Resource Manager explains: "We found that many solutions were very large, cumbersome and complicated pieces of software - requiring technical knowledge to operate. Some were completely inflexible and could not be adapted to our needs. eploy® had a completely different approach providing a solution that met our needs, backed up with great pre- and post- sales support and with excellent training on a near one to one basis. In addition, the low setup cost, monthly charge, no long term contract and scalable nature of eploy® made the decision to move to the new service low risk and straightforward to implement."
The hosted service, which was researched, recommended and implemented by Charteris' supplier of choice, Crimson Ltd, is designed to reduce in-house management, freeing up HR department's time to be used more effectively. It allows a proactive, strategic search and selection policy to be implemented and encourages more applicants for jobs from people with the pre-requisite skills to apply. eploy® also acts as the single focal point for all recruitment campaigns through advertising, exhibitions and other promotional activity and delivers a consistent approach to recruitment throughout the business - a process Charteris has outsourced in the past.
"Prior to eploy®, undertaking specific searches for key skills or particular candidates was incredibly time consuming," explains Sarah Flynn, HR Officer. "eploy® has a sophisticated skill matching tool which makes it very quick and easy to find what Charteris needs! Combine this with its contact management and diary system and we have been able to completely streamline our communications."
The use of proven web-based technology also provides flexible and secure access for Charteris' staff at any location, allowing greater flexibility for its staff users.
eploy® is provided as a managed service that seamlessly integrates with a business's own website with no requirement for onsite server hardware, ensuring no demands are made on the IT department's resource.
