FAQALL➜
Can the system automatically generate documents such as CV’s?
Yes. Templates are used to automatically generate documents from the data stored in Placement Partner. A typical example of this is to automatically generate standardised CV’s which can be sent directly to your clients.
Can we store files in the Placement Partner database?
Yes. Placement Partner was designed to store candidate CV files and many other files with each candidate’s and client’s record.
Can anyone on the internet access our database?
No. Placement Partner is password-protected and is hosted on an encrypted secure connection which makes unauthorised access virtually impossible. An unfortunate reality today is that a server, located in your office building, is far more likely to be stolen than someone gaining unauthorised access to your data via a secure connection.Our servers, with your data on, are located in a high-security data center and we keep the location of our servers strictly confidential.
How does the pricing structure work?
Placement Partner is charged on a monthly subscription basis, based on the number of users.
Foreign currency Web Ads
Did you know?
Placement Partner web adverts can also accommodate foreign currencies.
Please note that the system will pick-up the foreign currency if the international currency code is loaded before the amount on your minimum and maximum remuneration field. The Rand symbol R that is usually automatically displayed will be dropped.
Example:
30 000 will pull through to your adverts as R 30 000
USD 6000 will pull through to your adverts as USD 6000
Should nothing be filled in before a minimum and maximum amount, the currency will always default to South African Rand, displayed as R (so no need to put an R there yourself)
