“Automating our recruitment processes enables us to engage with candidates in a way that is expected with our typical target market of 16–24-year-olds.

“Unlike other vendors that had a model where the framework was rigid, Eploy could support our requirements and were flexible to our tight timescales that were dependent on the Milkround cycle and vital to engage with university students, and graduates. We had a smooth implementation of the core Eploy recruitment platform in just six weeks.”

"On behalf of our clients, we manage the agencies involved in sourcing contract and permanent staff. Eploy allows us to give our clients one single point of contact and provides structure to the recruitment process; managing several different agencies can be very time consuming for all the hiring managers involved; it is an administrative and accounting burden and it's also very difficult to control in terms of the range of charges applied from agency to agency."
