Jessops the highly respected high street retailer with over 200 stores has partnered with recruitment platform MyPeopleBiz, to develop its new recruitment portal. The partnership is aimed at further improving the Jessops employer brand as well as improving the recruitment function and managing the overall cost.
The relationship between the two companies began back in September 2010 when MyPeopleBiz started working with Jessop’s, assisting them with their recruitment strategy and providing additional resource to HR during a recruitment drive to recruit new Store Managers.
Jessop’s attract a considerable amount of applications to vacancies advertised and needed a way to manage these effectively. To reflect these specifications MyPeopleBiz have developed a fully bespoke recruitment portal <http://www.mypeoplebiz.com/whatisarecruitmentportal.aspx> that is accessible through the Jessops corporate site and will benefit from the latest functionality including parsing technology that processes text i.e. in a candidates CV and extracts required information for easier CV search and registration.
Jessops will now be able to use their new recruitment portal to manage all their requirements from one place, attracting direct candidates, talent pooling, creating talent databases and referral schemes to tap into the growth of social media and additionally managing all their agency suppliers.
Parker Crockford at MyPeopleBiz said Jessops has already experienced the benefits of having its own portal and the support MyPeopleBiz can provide as and when they require additional resource. The new functionality will allow Jessops to capture thousands of candidate details currently from different places, into their own searchable talent database which will mean that they can recruit from their talent pool without incurring any additional costs.
