Qikker introduces an e-recruitment solution for Local Government

Qikker Solutions introduces an innovative e-recruitment solution built to specifically address Local Government recruitment processes, including the demands of moving online and Equal Opportunities management.

In the Winter issue of SOCPO News, Keith Handleyís lead article, titled ìLocal Government Recruiters must embrace E-Recruitmentî, research confirmed that the majority of Councils were still using traditional approaches to recruitment, such as manual application forms and the use of recruitment advertising. 83% of respondents, however, confirmed the need to change and to speed up the recruitment process. Concern over the time, money and resources required to modify internal systems was stated as the biggest
barrier to change.

In response, Qikker Solutions has developed Qikk* Talent Builder - Government, a modular web based recruitment application for the Government market that enables the attraction, selection and hiring of staff. It specifically addresses the Government requirement for application form and Equal Opportunities management.

Qikk Talent Builder provides a ëfront-endí that allows candidates to complete the normal council application process online (directly from the website), whilst council staff can also use the system for traditional applications. This allows staff to use the same system to manage candidate lists, regardless of their application methods. Key benefits, include recruitment cost reduction and reduced administration overheads to enable a better service.
