East Thames Group launches its innovative new online recruitment solution

East Thames Group launches its innovative new e-recruitment solution, supported by industry experts, HotLizard

East Thames Group has recently unveiled its impressive new career website, http://jobs.east-thames.co.uk, responsible for recruitment for the organisationís four main subsidiaries: East Homes, East Living, East Potential and East Foundation.

East Thames is the largest housing association operating in east London and Essex. It manages more than 13,500 homes and works to develop sustainable, cohesive, happy neighbourhoods. As well as working to serve and engage its residents, the Group also provides care and support to people with particular needs, and works to improve opportunity and quality of life in the area.

HotLizard were commissioned to develop and implement a highly flexible and powerful corporate e-recruitment solution, which would not only set the organisation apart from its competitors, but also improve the recruitment process and reduce advertising spend.

East Thames wanted a simple corporate solution that would speed up application processes, minimise the need for advertising and manage the complete recruitment process efficiently and effectively. HotLizard provided an impressive bespoke career website that was seamlessly integrated with their robust corporate recruitment system, NetResourcer. The integrated solution cuts the time and cost that East Thames has to spend on simple administration tasks and streamlines simple recruitment processes through data extraction technology from Daxtra, bulk CV uploading functionality and candidate and vacancy matching capability.

To provide a usable and attractive search tool for candidates, HotLizard designed an intuitive job search system around East Thamesí key job departments as well as full jobs profile pages that include interview dates and relevant documents, and the option to subscribe to jobs by email. As well as being easy to use and navigate, the site is content administrable, allowing designated consultants to change copy on the site and Meta information for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), administer online banners and edit email content for any outgoing emails that are automated through the site. HotLizardís team of skilled creative designers worked closely with East Thames to ensure that the careers site maintained the corporate identity of their main Group website and the sites of East Potential, East Homes and East Living.

East Thamesí NetResourcer corporate recruitment system manages all of their internal recruitment processes, from job requisition to placement. Its powerful applicant tracking keeps them in touch with their candidates at all stages of the recruitment process and the question administration within the system allows them to set up open questions, killer questions and ranking questions to candidates, making sure that only serious candidates of the highest quality proceed with the process. The system has enabled East Thames to attract and manage the flow of candidates through http://jobs.east-thames.co.uk, advertise their vacancies on job boards if necessary, shortlist applications and receive reporting at all stages of the recruitment process.
