Staffing tip for 2010, on-line application

If your staffing firm is not using an applicant portal, I would strongly recommend it. Your staffing firm does not make money entering in application information...your team gets paid to qualify applicants and put them to work.

A button can be added to your website, so applicants can apply from home, a friend's house, the library, or anywhere there is a computer:






If applicants are not able to apply before they get to your office, your team can set up a few kiosks for walk-in traffic. Laptops can also be used for applications at job fairs.

The applicant will be able to create their applicant file using a resume, or without:
















Make sure you talk with your software installation team to customize (add/hide) your application to include/exclude the information most important to you. Not every staffing firm asks the same questions, so make sure you are storing the information your team needs.


Below are a few sections from TempWorks' applicant portal so you can see what is available:

Interview:








Work Experience:











Education:









Skills (Experience, Language, Software, and more):










Once this information is entered, it can be reviewed by your staff. After the information has been reviewed, the applicant can be contacted. When the applicant comes to your office for an interview all of the information can be edited, or more information can be added.

If you have any questions about adding an application portal to your website in 2010, please let me know (Cory@TempWorks.com).
