‘We were looking for a recruitment system that we could tailor entirely to our own specifications. As personnel advisors, it’s important to be able to monitor the success of a vacancy from the sidelines. Are we getting enough applications? Is Deen responding to all applicants? How can we support the vacancy campaign to increase the number of applications? Our HR department uses HROffice Recruitment to help the supermarket managers select the right candidates.’
Avoiding the recruitment process
‘We’re also very pleased with the talent pool feature in HROffice. Deen has multiple branches in some cities. If, for example, a candidate applies at one of our stores in Purmerend but we don’t have any vacancies at that particular branch, it would be great if they could find work at a different branch in the same city. That’s where the HROffice talent pool comes in handy. Everyone who applies in Purmerend who we can’t link to a specific branch is added to the talent pool. When a branch has a new vacancy, they can check the talent pool for a suitable candidate. This lets you avoid the application process, as it were. You don’t have to draft a new vacancy because you have plenty of candidates to choose from in your talent pool. That’s extremely valuable.’
