Eploy FAQs

Frequently asked questions about how Utilities & Waste Management organisations can benefit from an Applicant Tracking System.

An ATS for utilities and waste management companies is a recruitment system that helps energy providers, water companies, and waste services streamline hiring, manage applications, and attract qualified candidates.

An ATS automates job postings, filters candidates by skills and certifications, tracks applications, streamlines interview scheduling, centralises communication and creates an exceptional onboarding experience. This makes recruitment faster, easier and more efficient for everyone involved, from application to onboarding. Whether you need name-blind applications, a multilingual solution, multiple workflows, or specific requirements on your careers site for multiple brands or business functions, Eploy's ATS can deliver.

An ATS can filter candidates by certifications, experience, and technical skills to ensure qualified hires for operational roles in the utility sector, which is affected by the scarcity of qualified candidates. Utilising ATS features, such as talent pools, allows in-house recruiters to keep skilled candidates warm and engaged for future opportunities. The use of employee referrals also helps utility & waste organisations source high-quality talent that is more likely to stay longer.

Absolutely, an ATS, such as Eploy, can equip recruiters to streamline and manage recruitment across multiple offices, plants, or depots from one central system. This ensures consistency in the hiring process, from application to onboarding, nationally. You can also manage recruitment for drivers, collection operatives, recycling coordinators, plant operators and support roles using agile recruitment technology designed for you.

Employee Referrals are one of the top ways to attract quality talent. When a business hires a candidate from an employee referral, it directly indicates that employees working in the company are happy with their work, and they believe highly in the company’s culture.

With Eploy talent acquisition teams can run employee referral programmes, offer bounties and track the source of the candidates. It’s easy for employees to share available roles using email and their social networks.

We solve the challenges of Utilities & Waste Management Sector talent acquisition

Recruitment in the Utilities & Waste Management Sector comes with unique challenges. These can be addressed by understanding the most effective candidate sourcing channels for the sector and anticipating potential changes in hiring levels throughout the year. Eploy helps Utilities Sector recruiters tackle these challenges and streamline their recruitment processes to achieve the results they need.

What channels do Legal recruiters use for sourcing candidates?

In-house teams specialising in Legal sector recruitment primarily rely on three main channels - Careers Sites (93%), Employee Referrals (92%) and Events (85%) for finding candidates for vacancies.

54% of in-house Legal recruitment teams within the sector make use of Agencies for help in filling their jobs, which has reduced from last year (63%). The use of Agencies can have a major impact on a company's cost of hire.

Which sourcing channels work best for the Legal sector?

When we look at how recruiters for the Legal sector are approaching talent attraction, the Sourcing Quadrant shows us which channels are working best to deliver quality and quantity of candidates. Employee Referrals stand out as the leader on candidate quality. Professional Social Networks, like LinkedIn, and Agencies also provide a great quality of candidates and take the lead when it comes to candidate volume.

Having a great careers site is one of the ways that can attract a decent quantity and quality of candidates, yet the channel falls a little short in the Legal sector, despite being the most used channel in the sector (93%). Candidate experience is key and can work to nurture relationships and make successful hires.

How will levels of hiring in the Legal sector change in the next 12 months?

Legal sector recruitment levels are expected to remain the same across the course of the year, according to 80%. And only 20% of respondents are expecting the hiring levels to grow over the year. In line with anticipated stagnation of hiring levels, recruitment marketing budgets are also not expected to grow in 2025, with 67% expecting no change and 20% anticipating a decrease, which could make it challenging to attract more skilled candidates with fewer marketing resources available to them.

It's important that all involved in the recruitment process have access to simple, streamlined tools that allow them to recruit on the go. That's why, with Eploy - as well as getting an award-winning Legal Applicant Tracking System, you get a dedicated hiring manager portal and agency portal that's so easy to use and provides a unified platform for recruiting (and measuring).

Legal recruitment hiring challenges

Recruiters in the Legal Sector face several hiring challenges - scarcity of qualified candidates (73%), building a diverse and inclusive workforce (40%) and forecasting recruitment needs/demand planning (27%).

''Eploy is highly customisable, even after implementation. We’ve been able to adapt it continually to meet the ever-changing needs of our business. Whenever we’ve encountered a challenge, raising a ticket with the support team has resulted in a prompt, detailed, and genuinely helpful response. I cannot speak highly enough of the Eploy team; their commitment to doing a great job, investigating thoroughly, and delivering the right solution is outstanding. I’ve worked with several ATS platforms, and while many share the same core functionality, Eploy truly stands out because of its exceptional support and its built-in reporting and dashboards, which are far superior to others I’ve used.''
