While Irish recruitment agency Celtic Careers has been placing talent in roles for 21 years, they\u2019d been using a recruitment system that General Manager Sandra Costello describes as \u201cvery user heavy. There wasn\u2019t really anything else on the market at the time. We had to click into loads of different places to find what we were looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recent challenges brought about by the pandemic shed light on other issues. \u201cI didn\u2019t like the fact that we were tied into three-year contracts and I found there were lots of upgrades. When they were being done it would knock out our system. When we had issues, they\u2019d respond saying it would be resolved at the next rollout, two or three weeks later. I just didn\u2019t find their response to us was satisfactory,\u201d she recalled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
News of the platform\u2019s merger with another company was the impetus needed to seek a better solution. \u201cThere were a lot of issues with posting your jobs and it was so complex, recruiters couldn\u2019t do it themselves. Seeing as they were being taken over, I thought I\u2019d have a look and see what else was out there,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was JobAdder\u2019s user-friendly interface that first attracted Sandra to the platform, but also the fact that there\u2019s no contract. \u201cI can increase or decrease staff and it will take effect the following month. It\u2019s a 30-day contract which really appeals to me.\u201d Other solutions had been suggested to Sandra, but as she recalls, \u201cthere was something about JobAdder; I think it was the simplicity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since moving to JobAdder in 2019, Sandra stresses how easy the software is to use, noting \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve been using it for years and the girls in the team all say the same thing. The mobile app is fantastic. We didn\u2019t have that before and you had to log in to the website on your phone and it was really cumbersome. With JobAdder, you can see the applications that have come in over the weekend and have everything ready to go for Monday. We\u2019ve found that really valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sandra\u2019s focus is to develop a consistent approach to hiring across the team, as she tries to guide them to go through the dashboard for everything they do. \u201cWe can now post our jobs directly through JobAdder where before we had to use Broadbean as a second application. The team love the fact they can now do everything on the one system and we\u2019re on JobAdder more often because we\u2019re doing less work outside the system,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the future, I can envisage that JobAdder will be a massive improvement to what we were doing before. I have one or two who are not fond of admin and this has been a huge help to them because it prompts them as they go along and everything is done through the system. It\u2019s a great relief that I don\u2019t have to chase people as JobAdder has made it so much easier.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
