In another
brilliantly innovative move, our tech team has developed a new way to
streamline the candidate shortlisting process. This new feature allows you to
add candidates to a vacancy shortlist directly from their profile in the
Quality Candidate Database.
Another fantastic element of this feature is that the system gives you an overview of all the vacancies your candidate is already involved with – either being short-listed for, having been placed or working an assignment. In this way, you can view and manage your candidate vacancies directly from their profile.
You now have more than one way to navigate your system and more ways in which you can make this amazing tool fit your personal recruitment workflow!
Here’s how it works –
When viewing a candidate’s profile in the Quality Candidate Database, you will notice the addition of a new button at the top of the page – ‘Add to Vacancy’.
This button will open a pop-up window with a search bar at the very top. Below is a list of all the vacancies this candidates is connected to. The vacancies are categorized into those which you have created (My Vacancies) and those created by the rest of your team (Other Recruiters’ Vacancies).
To view or shortcut to any of the vacancies listed here, simple click on the vacancy in the list and then click on the ‘View Vacancy’ button.
Note!
Remember clicking ‘Cancel’ will bring you back to the Add to Vacancies pop-up window.
Candidates can also be removed from any shortlist, using this tool. As before, simply click on the vacancy in question and then click on the ‘Remove’ button below.
Remember!
It is important to note that you need to click the ‘Remove’ button a second time to confirm that you are sure you’d like to remove the candidate from this vacancy shortlist.
To add this candidate to a vacancy shortlist, begin by typing the Vacancy ID (or vacancy reference number), the Job Title or the name of the hiring Company into the search bar.
Click on the required vacancy…
…and then hit the ‘Add’ button. You will see that the added vacancy will immediately appear on the list.
When you go into the Vacancy, you will see the candidate has now been added and is listed on your ‘Send Outs’ tab.
This is an excellent tool to use in cases where you have a great candidate who you’d like to attach to multiple vacancies. It’s also fantastic for keeping tabs of things as it gives you an overview of your candidate’s perspective of their job-seeking journey.
We trust that this
will aid you in making more placements AND placing your candidates faster than ever before.
As always, your
feedback is of massive value to us so, please do let us know what you think?

more new features coming soon!
Feature Update – Additional Search Criteria!
At Placement Partner, we strive to stay abreast of any developments in the industry by staying close to you, our clients. This has allowed us to pick up on a rising trend in the industry – As more highly skilled candidates choose to immigrate out of South Africa, there is added pressure on recruiters to be able to do effective headhunting. We’ve developed an additional search tool to assist you in finding those special candidates with ease.
Here are a couple of examples of ways you can leverage this feature to perform at your best:
On your search page in the Quality Candidate Database, under the Job Requirements section you will now find a new field labelled Position as well as a check box labelled Search for Current Position Only:
In this example, I am searching for a new Sales Person for Mercedes. They may have informed me that ex-BMW employees tend to make for a good fit and have all the required skills for the job.
On the search page I will enter BMW as the previous employer and the word Sales in the position field:
The results will show all candidates who have a record of working in a Sales position and having worked at BMW at some point in the past.
Another example would be for headhunting purposes. Often, we are searching for candidates with scarce skills and our ad response rates may be low. This tool allows you to find all the candidates who are currently listed in this particular position.
Remember to tick the box to see only those currently working in this role!
You can apply the Boolean search functions in this search tool, using AND and OR in different variations to find all the positions which are relevant to your search.
The system will scan through all Employment History records and pull up a list of the candidates who match your requirements.
If you need any assistance or if you’d like to learn more about these and other beneficial search techniques, please feel free to get in touch.
Our team of friendly and highly-skilled automation specialists would love to meet you for coffee!
Feature Update – Time-Out Warning
Tired of being kicked out?
Fed up with losing work cause you forgot to hit ‘Apply’?
While this automated log out function is imperative to the security of your data, we really DO understand your pain. In an effort to make your job easier our developers have provided a pop-up warning to let you know you will soon be logged out.
We hope this will minimize your frustration while still keeping your information safe.
If you have any comments or questions please don’t hesitate to chat to our charming support team.
They’ll undoubtedly give you the help you need AND put a smile on your face!
