Jobpartners, the European leader of software solutions dedicated to the PRM (People Relationship Management) market, today announced that Paula Jordan, Associate HR Director at Portman Building Society, will speak at the Onrec.com conference on June 20th. Paula Jordan will share Portman Building Societyís online recruitment strategy with the audience and will discuss how it has fundamentally changed the way the organisation recruits. Portman Building Society has been using Jobpartnersí online recruitment solution, ActiveRecruiter, to optimise its recruitment process in the UK since late 2005.
ìIím really looking forward to speaking at the Onrec.com conference as it will be a great opportunity to raise awareness of the benefits of our online recruitment strategy,î commented Paula Jordan, Associate HR Director at Portman Building Society. ìAs an Employer of Choice in the mutual sector, our employer brand was already strong prior to moving recruitment online, however, Jobpartnersí offering and SHLís world leading online testing solutions are helping to further strengthen our employer brand. The combined solution, which included SHLís online psychometric test linked to core competencies for the roles, has enabled us to achieve greater attraction and retention of talented people into our key customer adviser roles.î
By implementing ActiveRecruiter to recruit for roles which vary from Head Office positions to customer advisors for its branch network, Portman Building Society is improving awareness of its career opportunities. Careers@portman also enables the Society to attract the right kind of candidates by ensuring the website contains strong messaging on organisation culture and provides a process for testing candidatesí fit to the advertised role. The partnership between Portman, Jobpartners and SHL is helping to increase the efficiency and consistency of Portman Building Societyís recruitment process ensuring faster response times, a better candidate experience and greater retention.
At the conference Paula will be describing how this innovative strategy was developed and put into practice.
