As well as providing all the essential tools for recruiters, managers and finance teams Colleague recruitment software is a dynamic business solution, helping to improve the performance of every part of your recruitment consultancy.
Whether you’re registering new candidates, managing your IT, prospecting for new clients or making sure the business stays compliant, Colleague recruitment software's impressive functionality can be applied to a wide variety of tasks, increasing your efficiency and maximising productivity.
Office support
Whether you’re processing 20 CVs a day or 2000, two things are vital – speed and accuracy. Recruiters with the capability to automate CV processing and deal with large volumes of data quickly and effectively have a massive edge over their slower competitors. Colleague recruitment software can also integrate with speicalist CV parsing technology, Burning Glass.
Using our recruitment system successful recruitment companies receive, process and register new candidates within seconds of receiving their CVs.
The quicker you can place a candidate’s details on to your system the sooner your consultant’s will be able to match them to vacancies and present them to clients. If it takes you ten minutes to process a candidate while your competitors take just seconds you will be losing business.
Colleague’s recruitment software makes parsing CVs simple. You can register candidates from incoming emails, by bulk parsing an entire folder of CVs or picking individual documents from within a folder.
Colleague will also run an automatic duplicate check prior to creating a new record so that you don’t have the same candidate registered twice.
How about accuracy? Colleague recruitment software’s sophisticated parsing technology means that a CV can be read and the data placed into all the relevant fields of a candidate’s record just as accurately as a human can – only far, far quicker.
Colleague recruitment software’s CV parser extracts the data from CVs attached to emails or received via your website and automatically creates a new candidate record with all the relevant information and details filled in.
Basic information such as name, address and contacts are recorded along with other details, including qualifications and skills, and there are 32 additional searchable fields you can configure to collect whatever data you want. In addition, Colleague users have the ability to set the system to automatically scan for pre-defined skills and abbreviations.
Coleague’s built-in CV parser is first class but if you’d prefer to use one of the third party parsing systems such as Burning Glass, Colleague recruitment software is fully integrated with those systems too.
Easy uploads - As well as integrating with all the key Microsoft Office applications such as Outlook, Word and Excel, Colleague also has clever built in functionality to allow you to carry out real-time uploads to job boards and websites.
