Candidate Management

Nowhere is our digital and online expertise more important than in the area of Candidate Management. Through our bespoke recruitment portals, Candidate Management Systems and CVPlayer.com, we are able to offer a comprehensive range of services that make recruitment easier than ever before.

Recruitment portals

By directing potential applicants to one of our bespoke recruitment portals, you can provide them with as much information as you like about your organisation and any specific role within it. That could mean anything from uploading a full job description, to including video podcasts that show off your premises or explain your company’s way of working.

Only by presenting people with the full picture can you really help them to 'self select' – proceeding if they like what they see, or opting out if they know that the role will not be right for them. The result – less time wasted handling applications from people who won’t really be suitable.

Candidate Management Systems

Our bespoke online Candidate Management Systems automate the entire recruitment process, allowing you to manage applicants in a fraction of the time it would normally take. Filter questions weed out those who do not have the required work permits, CRB checks or qualifications, while a Windows outlook-based feature coordinates the interview scheduling process.

An in-built management reporting function gives instant data on the cost per applicant and how people heard about the role, thereby allowing decisions to be made on the effectiveness of any candidate attraction techniques employed. The system also facilitates the creation of a ‘talent pool’ of promising candidates, so that any roles arising in the future could take even less time to fill.

CVPlayer.com

Lee & Nightingale launched CVPlayer.com to help employers sidestep one of the most time-consuming jobs of all – first round interviews. Incorporating all the benefits of a Candidate Management System, the system also makes it easy for job seekers to record a short video podcast of themselves answering any interview questions you wish to set.

Once the podcast has been made, it is packaged with the job seeker’s CV or completed application form and uploaded to your own secure section of the site, allowing you to assess their communication skills and personality without even leaving your desk.
