Jepson Holt Consulting, who specialise in legal recruitment, has selected Eploy’s market-leading cloud based recruitment and applicant tracking software to further enhance its partnership approach with clients.
Phil Jepson, Chairman at Jepson Holt said that making Eploy an integral part of its recruitment processes was the next natural strategic step for the company. “We strongly believe in the principle of working in partnership with our candidates throughout their career life, so we needed a flexible, intuitive web-based software solution that could help us facilitate this personal approach to recruitment.”
“We previously used a server-based business software package, but we found its recruitment functionality limiting and technically not good enough for our business objectives moving forward.
“Eploy offered us a solution that better reflects the structure of our company; for example being web based and the only dedicated recruitment system on the market that is browser independent, means our people who spend much of their time outside of the office, can now work remotely. Having remote access to one central system where all client and candidate information is securely stored, is already transforming the way we work.”
Another key factor for Jepson Holt in selecting Eploy was the system’s fully synchronised email facility. “As a specialist recruitment consultancy for the legal profession we find that many of the people we work with prefer correspondence in writing, so Eploy’s email facility fits perfectly with what we want to achieve, and makes the process much simpler and trackable,” Mr Jepson explained.
Also of significant business benefit is Eploy’s range of automated recruitment tools which have streamlined day-to-day functions. Mr Jepson said: “We now have a dedicated recruitment system that logs information quickly and easily, which allows our consultants to work more closely with their existing and prospective clients on an on-going basis.
Tools such as the search functionality (connecting the dots) and the ability to tag specific skills make the process much quicker. The postcode search tool that is linked to our website is also very useful and helps us to build organisation charts; ultimately we now have the technology to be able to find the right people quickly.”
Eploy also used its project management and technical expertise to smoothly transfer all the data from Jepson Holt’s previous system. Chris Bogh, Eploy’s Technical Director confirmed that this was the most challenging aspect of the transition. “The data was massively complicated because it wasn’t a recruitment system; once we’d established how it was structured the transition to Eploy ran smoothly.”
“The support provided by Eploy throughout the implementation from beginning to end was excellent,” said Mr Jepson. “The transition was smooth and all our people were trained at just the right time so they could hit the ground running when the system went live.”
