The implementation team at Eploy provided effective solutions to challenges in our recruitment process and provided useful feedback through the implementation period. Working with our HR and Recruitment Team, they were extremely receptive to our requirements and worked with us to build a system which has already greatly improved our recruitment process from both a candidate and administration perspective.

Serving a combined population of around 250,000 residents, Chorley Council and South Ribble Borough Council are fast becoming a shining example of the power of collaboration.
The Recruitment Team required a dedicated Applicant Tracking System to replace a system no longer fit for purpose, alongside manual, admin heavy processes.
Having a dedicated recruitment platform would provide a full end-to-end automated recruitment process with refined hiring practices to improve on quality and speed of hire. It would also deliver an improved candidate experience.
Applicant Tracking System Requirements:
- Customisable recruitment workflows and configurable forms.
- Separate fully branded careers site (WCAG compliant and mobile responsive).
- Dedicated candidate portal for candidate account creation and CV parsing.
- Integration capability (job boards).
- Blind recruitment to avoid bias from the recruitment process.
- Candidate shortlisting and scoring.
- Interview scheduling and scoring.
- Automatic personalised emails and sms.
- Auto creation of onboarding docs.
- References checks.
- Powerful reporting analytics.
- SSO Azure AD.
