Here's what Utilities & Waste Management recruitment teams are saying about Eploy

"I am delighted with the functionality that Eploy Quick Launch provides. The set-up process was super simple, and we were live with our recruitment activity in just a few days. From me starting in my new role to going live with Eploy took just over two weeks. The Eploy Implementation lead was supportive to getting us up and running and the training and consultation support was intuitive and available as we needed it. I didn't think it would be possible to have a system to support our recruitment strategy and candidate journey delivered in such a short timescale – but it was.''
Paula ReadingRecruitment Business Partner
"It can be daunting to approach new ways of working, especially as we were starting with a blank page in documenting all of our processes and workflows, but the Eploy team were able to demonstrate the simplicity of implementation and support us through the process, always offering solutions. This was a successful tech project that delivered on time, to scope and within budget. It really has transformed the way we work and will support other transformation in the business.”
Pam HassonProgramme Manager – Resourcing and HR
