Regarded as ìThe Professionals First Choiceî Wolters Kluwer are a global player in information services and publishing. Employing over 18,400 people and with operations in over 26 countries, annual revenues for 2006 were reported to be over 3.4 billion Euros.

Handling on average over 30 vacancies per month, the UK business was in need of a management tool which would help deliver substantial benefits to a relatively small recruitment resource including improved efficiency and reduced time and costs spent on recruitment.

apoint is a simple but innovative system designed to provide companies with a means of handling the entire recruitment process more efficiently. With the anticipated management of over 4000 applications per annum, the system will centralise recruitment activity by driving all candidates through to a newly developed careers section on the Wolters Kluwer UK corporate website.

With a focus on improving the candidate experience, job seekers will be able to find relevant information regarding the latest vacancies and apply directly online. A role specific application form presents applicants with the opportunity to provide further details in support of their CV and upon submission acknowledgements are sent upon receipt of their information to complete the application process.

As well as improving the recruitment process for the candidate, Wolters Kluwer UK will also gain more control through the back office of apoint , the recruitment management system will assist in the administration and organistation of the cycle.
