Manage Recruitment Campaigns
SDMS V Recruitment and Selection for Windows provides tangible and measurable benefits, whether you are a specialist Recruitment Manager in a large organisation, a Personnel Manager, Training Manager with recruitment as one part of your brief or a Graduate Recruiter.
From the identification of Recruitment Needs (based on employee retirement dates, temporary and fixed term post dates, planned maternity and other extended leave dates) creating New Posts, Campaign Planning, Advertising, Initial Enquiry management, Candidate Selection to Short Listing, Interviewing and Assessment, taking up References and Pre-employment Checks, as well as Final Appointment, SDMS V Recruitment and Selection for Windows does it all! For the many standard letter writing and office tasks, SDMS V Recruitment and Selection Manager for Windows is integrated with a range of Office Suites, including MS Office™ for the production of standard letters, mail merge and spreadsheets.
Minimum Data - Fully Integrated
At each stage in the recruitment process, the software only holds the data essential for each candidate at that point, thus significantly reducing data collection and cost. Further data is then built up as required as the recruitment process continues and the appointment decision is reached. Whether you need to manage a simple recruitment process or a complex employee selection process with detailed reporting and analysis requirements; SDMS V Recruitment and Selection for Windows is the obvious choice.
Candidate Details
The Candidate Details held include: Candidate Reference, Name, Address, Post Code, Gender, Equal Opportunities Data, Current Employment and Salary, Notice Required, Educational History and Qualifications, Employment History, Positions Held, Training and Special Achievements. Supporting statements can also be scanned and held. Where candidate selection and interviewing is the responsibility of a single person, the software is simple and easy to use. But where required, the interview panel management functions of the software are available, helping you keep track of key tasks and dates including: assigning relevant staff to interview panels, set out diary of interviews and panel meetings, schedule interview panel tasks, arrange interview schedules and candidate lists; with links to reminders and alarms within the software, identify and search for suitable internal candidates by matching vacant or soon to be vacant posts by skills and competencies, qualifications, types of post held, relevant training and staff development, and personal qualities. A unique feature of the software is the Candidate Monitoring Form, which allows for recruitment monitoring to take place, even if full details of Candidates and the recruitment process itself are not held.
