New dynamic talent management system launches to International design and creative world

The Creative Portal launches today, enabling international Creative agencies to bank and manage creative and client management talent. This dynamic, web-based, recruitment operating system has been developed over the last two years to offer real-time interaction between candidates, agencies and partner recruiters across the globe.

Candidates register themselves onto The Creative Portal by providing a succinct and specific combination of information that leads to the operating system creating a bespoke candidate ëprofileí. Potential employers can view at a glance the candidateís full portfolio, five pieces of their best work with commentary, resume; references; and answers to three specific industry related questions. Guidance is given at every stage of the process so that agencies are presented with an ëexecutive snapshotí that instantly ëspeaks to themí, giving candidates the opportunity to showcase their work far more effectively than ever before.

Candidates are still met, screened and mentored before they ëgo liveí on the operating system, ensuring a consistent quality and selection of the best talent available.

ëProfilesí are then exposed and matched to the on-going design briefs entered by clients worldwide each of whom have dedicated, secure folders on system. These folders are regularly furnished with job-specific candidates, or by those considered to be uniquely on-brandí. Agencies are able to bank talent for both freelance and permanent roles. Freelancers are also given the capability to schedule their future availability within a transparent calendar to assist in agency planning.

Recruitment fees are similar to those charged by traditional recruitment agencies. However, by using The Creative Portal design agencies are given access to a highly effective human resources system, which will enable them to manage their future talent intake.

Jon Alport, Chairman of Alport Portal Limited comments, ìIn a six month trial of this unique recruitment operating system, the response has been excellent. By challenging traditional recruitment methods The Creative Portal marries cutting-edge technology with a very hands-on, interactive style of engagement that both candidates and client companies find essential. The Creative Portal will also attract worldwide industry savvy recruitment partners, who by working autonomously will properly represent the interests of the best talent and the most dynamic businesses.î

ìCompanies donít have time to waste on spurious interviews, this is why The Creative Portal guarantees quality, not quantity through its approach and by choosing to represent, not collect, those in the ëtalent bankí. Clients are given the capability to build an inventory of candidates, most of whom will be freelancers, or talent that can be stored and encouraged into their organisations at a later stage.î
