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.

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
''Outstanding, I love the service and people we work with at Eploy. There is always someone available quickly and nothing is too much trouble. We are invited to events, making us feel part of a wider group of valued clients, as well as opportunity to attend seminars, meet peers and network. Our website runs really well, candidates, vendors and hiring mangers are always pleased with the portals and really easy to use. Overall I think Eploy understand us as a business, and the challenges we face. I learn something new from every interaction, and always good to hear of the new features and improvements. Thank you to all at Eploy for taking such good care of us!''

‘’Eploy continues to support our growth as a business. It allows the freedom and flexibility to customise fields, forms and candidate journeys. The success team are very quick to respond to requests, and if it is not possible, it's noted for future developments. We have not long completed a rebrand exercise, and having the ability to refresh our careers site and build new features was fantastic.‘’
Jordan NairnTalent Acquisition Specialist
''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.''
