Recruiting Firm Adds 13,000 Candidates Annually Through its Corporate Web Site Portal
Consultis discovers VCG's WebPAS WorldLink® increases candidate applications and employee productivity
(PRWEB) September 1, 2005 -- Consultis, a Boca Raton, FL-based recruiting
firm, places candidates in contract and full time positions in both IT and
Finance. Originally, Consultis used several software packages -- including
contact management and search and retrieval systems -- to act as their applicant
tracking system.
However, different software packages meant that getting
needed information for recruiters, candidates and clients was inefficient.
What's more, they could not integrate these dissimilar systems into a Web site
portal to enable e-business communication with both candidates and
clients.
So in 2001, Consultis replaced their multiple solutions with one
by choosing VCG's WebPAS® recruiting software.
Eric Gutmann, Manager of
Information Systems for Consultis, states "WebPAS had all the additional
functionality we were looking for in one centralized database. It enables us to
track internal employee's productivity, as well as contractors and
clients."
WebPAS's efficient recruiting functionality helped Consultis to
raise the bar within their offices and provide their clients and candidates
superior customer service. WebPAS mirrors the natural workflow of the recruiting
business, reducing time spent to perform administrative tasks so recruiters
could focus on revenue-generating tasks.
Jamie Delsing, Director of
Marketing for Consultis agrees, "Previous software packages had none of the
depth of the WebPAS product. Productivity was not accurately measured with our
legacy software. WebPAS accurately measures productivity as well as the
benchmarking of our business processes."
To apply their new WebPAS
recruiting software to their business effectively, Consultis went through
"train-the-trainer" sessions at their corporate headquarters.
"Our
training with VCG on WebPAS was extraordinary. If our trainer didn't know the
answer to a particular question, he immediately found out for us. We implemented
a similar process when we trained our own people," Delsing said.
Gutmann
added, "People that work for us come from different industries, but they all
like WebPAS and find it very powerful. After the two-day course, our employees
can't wait to jump into the database."
With productivity improved,
Consultis added WebPAS WorldLink® to their VCG software package in 2002. The
WebPAS WorldLink recruiting software module integrates many core functions of
WebPAS with a staffing firm's Web site in real-time. It combines an online job
board and client and candidate Web portals enabling Consultis to more
effectively manage and communicate business information.
"From a
marketing perspective, it dramatically increased our exposure as a company and
our Web presence. Instead of our internal employees manually entering resume or
profile information, they click 'populate' on the job order and it's out there,"
says Delsing.
"Since implementing WebPAS WorldLink, we have had about
13,000 candidates register annually through our Web site. Of these we placed
about 450 candidates in various positions annually. We expect this number to
grow," says Gutmann.
This functionality enables candidates to easily post
their resume and profiles as well as update them. The net result is that
Consultis recruiters have to perform less data entry -- enabling them to focus
on recruiting.
Delsing states, "when dealing with IT candidates, they
would much rather update their own information on our site as it gives them a
sense of influence over what types of positions they will be considered
for."
Delsing plans on extending their success with candidates to
customers, saying that, "Consultis will push the WebPAS WorldLink module to our
clients so that they can place orders, review order statuses and set up their
own search agent generally enable us to build strong interactive relationships
with them."
In business since 1984, it's easy to see why Consultis has
solidified its position as a top recruiting business.
Delsing states, "A
major business goal for this year is to expand our services into the financial
placement arena. We are currently beta testing our business model at our
corporate headquarters."
"There has been a surge in our business since
the economy started coming out of the recession," Delsing states. "Companies are
looking at new ways of hiring such as flex staffing and contract work. With
WebPAS we have the recruiting software technology in place to handle the
expansion of our business with ease."
