Online recruitment made easy with Snowdrop

HR and payroll software provider Snowdrop Systems has signalled the end of manual application form processing with the launch of a new recruitment function as part of Spring, its recruitment, administration and selection software.

The new function lets organisations gather data from potential employees via their company website. People can apply online for a vacancy by sending their CV or filling in an application form and can also ask for more details of jobs they are interested in.

The applicant information is fed into Spring directly so the administration team does not need to input it twice. It is then checked against the database to see if that personís details are already on file.

The new function lets organisations respond more quickly to job applications. Emails and letters can be sent to candidates instantly so they can be kept informed at each stage of the process. This creates a perception of the employer as a professional and responsible recruiter.

Michael Richards, Snowdrop Systemsí chief executive, comments: ìWith online recruitment becoming the norm, this addition to Spring lets companies make a better job of getting new talent on board quickly. The online information means staff can spend more time on strategic recruitment issues and less on excess administration.î
