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.

Introducing Social Media Integration on Placement Partner
Post your adverts to Facebook, LinkedIn & Twitter
To make the most of social media, the Placement Partner development team has made it possible for you to post adverts from the advertising page on your vacancy, directly to your Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter account! We are thrilled to launch these new applications, all of which can be activated on request.
For Facebook, our skilled technical team will enable your vacancy adverts to appear on your agency Facebook page. This application is available as an optional extra and at a once off cost. Email us on support@parallel.co.za if you would like to know more about this exciting new feature.
To post adverts to LinkedIn, click on the LinkedIn button on the vacancy advertising page, once you have written up your advert. A new window will open where you can pre-view the advert, select who you would like to share the post with, include a comment and then finalize the process by clicking on the Share button.
When you click on the Twitter button, a link to your advert will be inserted into your comment box on Twitter. You can add to this or simply click on the Tweet button to broadcast your advert to your followers.
These new social media features are only available as part of the web integration service. Should you want to make use of these features, you will need to ensure that you subscribe to the web integration service. LinkedIn and Twitter social integration applications are available at no extra cost while the Facebook application is available for a once off fee. Should you want access to these social media features on your Placement Partner system or to activate your web integration service, please send an email to support@parallel.co.za and we will be happy to assist you.

Postbox now Web 2.0
New functionality makes candidate browsing an effortless experience.
Web technology is growing evermore dynamic and streamlined everyday, new features and enhancements are blossoming everywhere; and Placement Partner is keeping you on the cutting edge.
Our Development Lab have been busily conjuring up new features, the latest of which was deployed last week Friday. Extending upon the ‘Source Notes to Vacancies’, the Postbox now brings candidate information into your search result page at the click of a button – this without even having to leave the page.
We recommend Fire Fox for best results.
This major Postbox upgrade was inspired by positive feedback and suggestions from long time Placement Partner users who found it to be an excellent time saver; which is ultimately what we aim to achieve. We hope that you also reap the rewards of this on-demand data display which, as an added benefit, makes your page load times quicker.
Happy recruiting!
The Placement Partner Development Team.
New functionality in the Post Box!
Our technical team has just developed a handy new feature in the Post Box, which allows you to see the job title of the vacancy a candidate has applied for, by clicking on the vacancy reference number. So, no more going back and forth between your vacancy list and your Post Box to see what the reference number in your Post Box stands for, you can instantly see the relevant job title.
Another new feature is that you can now see where a candidate in the Post Box is duplicated. When you hold your mouse over the word Duplicate, you can see how many times the candidate is duplicated and where those duplicates are.
We trust you will enjoy these new features!
