Eploy's Applicant Tracking System

''One month since launching Islington Council's new Applicant Tracking System (ATS) with Eploy and we're already seeing massive improvements. Our average time to create a vacancy requisition has more than halved, and reference requests are returning within hours - not days.''

“The hiring manager experience was a key factor in using Eploy’s e-recruitment solution. With over 190 depots it was critical that we selected a ‘one-stop shop’ system that was intuitive and user-friendly to help hiring managers deliver a consistent and open recruitment process locally. Having a Hiring Manager portal has been revolutionary in transforming recruitment and establishing an in-house direct source model. We have received fantastic feedback from managers at all levels in the business.”

“We now have a truly customisable talent platform that supports us across the recruitment journey. We are looking forward to utilising the full measurement capabilities within Eploy dashboards to focus on the right activities, monitor our KPIs and collaborate better as a team”.

"We have been able to make improvements to our process that eliminate delays to impact positively on the candidate experience. All applications now go straight to the hiring managers to review. Hiring managers now have the autonomy to raise vacancies from templates and create draft offers in the portal to then send for authorisation.''

“In working with partners Eploy and Blackbridge Communications, the new careers site now tells the story of our employer brand, Find Your Happy Place, our values and purpose, our business areas, expanding Tech, Digital and Data teams, as well as Retail and Warehouse & Delivery, and of our people and their individual stories. It incorporates dynamic job adverts, bringing personalised information to the candidate, rather than them having to look around to find it. Lastly, we share our approach to hybrid working and flexibility and our commitment to wellbeing, belonging, charity and community.''

“Throughout this project, our fantastic relationship with Eploy has allowed us to take a collaborative approach between the Coventry Building Society project team, our in-house UX UI design team and Eploy. We had regular reviews to ensure that the project to rebrand the candidate portal to the current design and expand on the existing pages with additional candidate-centric content was delivered as scoped and on time.''

“We had to deliver a complete ATS and online onboarding rapidly and are proud of what we have achieved. We worked alongside Eploy to configure and adapt the solution as we required, providing the flexibility to grow as a business. We now have a greater reporting capability with data and metrics across the whole process, giving us everything we need to plan, measure, monitor and continually improve our recruiting.”

“We have made rapid progress moving from what was a software database to a complete Applicant Tracking System. The Eploy implementation process has meant that we built a customised platform not only fit for purpose now, but that will allow us to continue to be entrepreneurial and to achieve more.”

“We recruit for many contact centre and frontline roles so the candidate portal has been a huge step forwards from a candidate user experience point of view that allows us to engage with a wider audience. The speed at which we can perform online background and credit checks in a compliant way through automating our ATS with Experian is second to none. We have received positive feedback from around the business on the improvements made and ease of Eploy to use.''

‘'Putting the candidate first is a priority for us and we have achieved this through implementing Eploy’s ATS and recruitment CRM. It gives candidates a seamless experience at every stage when searching and applying for roles and finding out more about life@Wren. It mirrors the commitment to our people, giving them the best possible start in their career and nurturing them to success. Eploy’s cloud-based recruitment software has streamlined our recruitment process to give candidates a seamless online experience from initial search to joining the team.''

“We have digitised the end-to-end recruitment process and now have a fit for purpose recruitment and onboarding platform to continually improve how we recruit and retain talent. Our end-to-end process is much slicker, with a candidate portal that allows candidates to respond when it is convenient to them. Reference collection is all automated which saves us time as a team, but also ensures we have all the necessary documents and compliance checks in place ahead of start dates. The Eploy Team have been supportive throughout to deliver within stringent timescales, at the time of us implementing a new HR system.''

“The response from the business is incredibly positive. Having a fit-for-purpose recruitment platform that is intuitive to use fosters engagement and has refreshed our purpose as a resourcing team. We felt the pain of making do with a bolt-on HRIS solution and now have the autonomy to continually improve our services, internally and externally and respond to needs quickly in a fast-paced candidate market.''

“Eploy has strengthened internal stakeholder relationships due to the efficiencies the Resourcing department can provide. These include transparency of the approval process (accountabilities for individuals at all levels), speed of time to hire has been greatly reduced, visibility on the process and a smooth professional process for the candidate.''

“When choosing Eploy, it was clear we weren’t ’just another customer’. It was evident that the whole team wanted to work with us from Sales to Implementation and post go-live support. Obscure questions we had were always answered rapidly.''
