Testimonials

Rebecca Birs, Recruitment Manager, British Heart Foundation

We found eploy® to be a cost-effective solution that is straightforward to manage and easy to use. It addresses the nature and structure of the charity and offers optional back-office functions.

The hiring portal has been well received by managers who welcome its collaborative nature and flexibility.

Due to the increased traffic to the site, online recruitment has increased by nearly 50% from 33% to 65% in less than 12 months. Clearly as a result of these statistics alone, eploy®'s system has already paid for itself in just 12 months, especially considering the fact that we have successfully filled more than 80 positions in less than a year.

Craig Burton, Managing Director, The Works

I have never known in 23 years a service with no boundaries, all the team at eploy are great when it comes to responding to new ideas, training and questions. I sometimes call them with some unusual requests but they always come back to me quickly and importantly answer the calls themselves. I love that, eploy® is our business now.

By working in partnership with eploy® to continually develop and update our system over the last 3-4 years, we have achieved considerable time and cost savings, management benefits for the company and ultimately an improved service for our customers.

Vetting and short listing suitable applicants is now a faster and more efficient process that results in very few phone calls from candidates as we drive everyone to our website to register and apply for any vacancies they feel they qualify for.

This process has made huge savings for the business as we no longer need an administrator in each of our 4 locations since all of our admin is now done at Head Office from the same system and anyone can work on any job from anywhere. I cannot begin to explain how much time this saves.

It has completely revolutionised the way they operate. Because the system and website is one and the same it's simple to move consultants around and even home working is a reality in our business now. They now have 24 hour access to the system 365 days a year from any fixed or mobile device with Web access, and can distribute job alerts and CV's to potential candidates at a moment's notice. All information can be traced and tracked making candidate management straightforward and responsive. It also allows the company to open new locations very quickly without the need for onsite or networked databases.

Our people know they can access the system from smart-phones and just the fact they know they can is a great benefit. I, for instance sent an SMS to fifty people from our system for a job at 8pm from the pub the other night from my iPhone.

We are a great advocate of online recruitment software and have worked with eploy® for over four years to establish our online strategy and we now plan to further develop our interactive services to help generate increased revenue.

Armando Canales, General Operations Manager, ARRK Technical Services

In a market swamped with recruitment software providers, it was flexibility and responsiveness that made eploy® standout from the crowd.

At the time eploy® was the only company offering an ASP solution and that was also willing to customise its system and create key tools to suit our specific needs. Also the cost model was very attractive with a low-risk initial cost outlay - they were by far the best.

The website is very user-friendly and now the majority of our registrations come via this site. It is working far better than we could ever have expected.

The evolution of laptops, PDAs and smart phones such as Blackberrys and iPhones has created a 'must have it now' business culture, so for many of our consultants who are often out of the office on client visits, or working from home or at other office locations, having remote and secure access to information has become an essential part of our everyday life.

As a forward thinking global company, we are continually assessing the latest developments including the new ASP solution providers, but in general most of them deliver a similar solution. Therefore one has to assess the added value elements of the software provider, and eploy®, in our opinion, go above and beyond their competitors; yes it is important that they have over 10 years experience in providing ASP software solutions and continue to be innovative, but what ultimately makes them different is their flexibility and their responsiveness to our business needs.

James Osborne, Innergy

We use eploy for all our perm recruitment and we find it very effective. We looked at many other systems on the market though eploy still came out on top, not only for its functionality, but also because of the support team that are behind the system, which is critical.

Dominic Lundy, Director, Riada Recruitment

Over the past three years, the company has expanded and recently opened its third office. The web based solution from eploy® has been easy to roll out across the sites and is simple to set-up - all we required was a broadband connection!

We have found the eploy recruitment software to be intuitive and comprehensive. It integrates transparently with our own website and provides a straightforward registration process for candidates, saving even more administration time. We have also found that new consultants are able to pick up and use the system very quickly.

In addition, there are many integral applications in the product that will allow Riada to offer further value added services to our clients in the future

Ailsa Costello, University of Derby

Eploy has been fundamental to the key process of the Student Employment Agency. As we are quite different to a high street agency particularly when it comes to our requirements it has been very beneficial to our team how eploy have given us the tailored- made customised experience rather than a standardised approach that might not be suitable for the SEA.

With eploy® being a true web based recruitment solution, it has meant that we have greater flexibility away from our desks and at different sites. We can now update information, CVs and the diary function using a range of practical and easy to use tools, from the PC or mobile telephone. Our work is taking us out of the office more and more so mobility has been a key benefit of the eploy® system to us.

The eploy® software has provided SEA with a wide selection of user-friendly tools that we now rely on to deliver our student employment service. Following the recent enrichment of the system we can now undertake a range of additional functions that will benefit the efficiency of the operation. These include the automatic extraction of information from student CV's to online registration forms and the ability to work live on individual vacancies.

Julie Weston, Director of Human Resources, British Heart Foundation

We implemented eploy® because we wanted to improve the ease with which supporters and the general public could find paid and volunteer roles within the BHF. The application has also helped streamline our internal processes and improve our management of the recruitment process.

Clive Harper, Human Resource Manager, Charteris PLC

Understandably many HR operations are cautious in their adoption of new technology. Through our own research, we found that many software solutions were complex and required a high level of technical knowledge to understand and use. Others were completely inflexible and could not be adapted to our specific needs.

eploy® had a completely different approach providing a solution that met our needs with ease of use with great functionality. Importantly, it was also backed up with pre- and post- sales support, a professional service and 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.

James Healy, Contract Recruitment Manager, Agilisys

One of the most attractive features of eploy®'s recruitment software is that it is able to address our company's need for mobility. As an IT organisation it was important that the system we adopted fitted our culture, and this meant delivering flexibility with secure access from multiple locations across the UK. We have now successfully achieved this with eploy®'s web based solution.

Our recruitment team deal with up to 600 CV's each week. From these, we need to find suitable candidates to fill internal vacancies, establish entire project teams and locate specialists for fee paying clients. We previously used an Access based system, which made it difficult to track candidates and had no CV search facility. The new eploy® solution will give Agilisys the capability to improve candidate tracking and provide a powerful CV search capacity that allows personalised multiple mailings to be issued.

We selected eploy® because of its ease of use and the capability to improve candidate tracking. It gives Agilisys a powerful CV search capacity enabling personalised multiple mailings to be issued. It was also cost-effective to set-up and manage, and offers unrivalled back-office functions which comparable systems did not have.

Furthermore, the system has integrated seamlessly with the Agilisys website, providing a consistent and professional interface for users and prospective employees. Our candidates and hiring managers can now use our website to authorise and automate the processing of time sheets.

Roger Parks, Human Resources Manager, Foyles Book Stores

We selected eploy® because we found the layout of the screens and the functionality the easiest to use. It is also a well-established system that is efficient, easily accessible and cost effective to deploy as no third party software is required to access the system via the Internet, whereas the others were either showing their age or were still in a development phase. The final reason was that eploy®'s system came at an attractive price; it wasn't the cheapest, but because it is offered as a service and charged monthly so there was no large initial outlay.

We restricted its initial use to the HR department, but, due to its easy access & the mobility of using an online system, plan to extend it to our managers.

Since adopting eploy®'s system, we have also been able to easily manage the increased numbers of unsolicited CV's we now receive on a daily basis as a result of the economical downturn; this is proving significant as it is enabling our business to build a substantial candidate database for the future.

Katie Best, Managing Director, Best Graduates

Eploy® was an excellent choice for us due to its capability to link with multiple websites and career portals in a way that allowed us to manage the high volume recruitment campaigns for our corporate clients.

The administration involved with communicating and tracking applications was becoming a major cost factor so our return on investment from eploy® was instant and our website is now working for us rather than creating work.

There's also no doubt that the technical expertise of the eploy® team helped us win some of our major RPO contracts & it's great to see our own suggestions included in the latest versions of eploy.

Sarah Flynn, HR Officer, Charteris PLC

An effective recruitment process can help to transform your business and eploy's® recruitment software has helped us to streamline the mechanics of the recruitment process.

A centralised database has been created for all CV's and contact history including salary expectations, contract rates and interview performance, to allow the business to find, engage and recruit the right calibre of staff as efficiently and quickly as possible.

Eploy® has also tailored the front end application to be completely branded to create a seamless visual connection to its target audience, providing us with a competitive marketing advantage in a fast moving environment

eploy® reduces the need for filing CV's and allows us to track where candidates come from. This is important for internal referral schemes where we have to know if a candidate was recommended from someone internally or whether they came from an external source as both incur a fee. In the past the only record of this was emails and it was difficult and time consuming to manage.

Katie Best, For National Grid Transco Graduate Intake

The eploy team were consummate professionals who advised and guided the National Grid Transco human resource department during the implementation of the Graduate Opportunities system. They were more like part of the internal team rather than an outsourced software provider.

The finished result far exceeded our expectations of recruitment software and its capabilities and the online functionality increased the services that we can offer through the National Grid Transco web site. Thousands of applications were efficiently managed and processed and the comprehensive reporting enabled the HR team to identify areas where marketing and recruitment processes could be improved.
