Let's be specific

Over a decade of technical know-how has resulted in software that we can adapt to so many different client needs. For years we've positioned ourselves as 'The agile ATS' - and for good reason. Within many of our ATS solutions there are quirks that clients wanted specifically to meet what they needed – some of which stayed specific to that client, some of which have gone on to be evolved elsewhere, but all of which enriches our experience and capability, such as:

• Assessment Centre interfaces built for tablets that smoothed the capture of right to work documentation as well as attendance, performance and interview outcomes.
• Graduate exhibition stand visitor data capture through a gamified interface that not only offered “follow-up” capability, but also brought an unparalleled level of integrity to ROI stats when looking at final hires.
• A job board aspect to help Bristol Airport's careers site work not only for them, but to establish it as a central job seeking focus for other businesses also operating on site, be that through an ‘ATS-light' offer or scraping directly from the careers sites of the more established businesses.
• Several of our clients have set induction dates for their new people, or at least have for some parts of their business. So to help enhance the pre-start day engagement, we have an OnBoarding forum facility that can be deployed that has proven a great hit with new starters, making day one much less daunting than it might otherwise be.
• A number of our systems have direct feeds from the client's HRMS that informs their HARBOUR system of the roles and associated hours that are required in certain categories across their establishment – which in turn can auto publish advertising aligned to those requirements, having taken account of any pipelined applicants in OnBoarding corresponding to that need, of course.

And it's not just functionality that we customise – we also have a number of entire systems that are standalone too. One of our longest served customers, Admiral Group, approached us a few years into our working relationship and asked if we could build a facility that would help smooth their travel booking process for employees, whilst also helping with their exceptionally high focus on duty of care for employees and providing clear and insightful MI.

At first, we weren't sure. Was there not something already on the market that could give them what they needed? But their trust and confidence in our ability to deliver exactly what they wanted, saw us build the Admiral Travel System (which we fully appreciate is ever-so-slightly ironic that it's also called an 'ATS'). This system processes hundreds of submissions every month, and also ensures that employees have a central point for their travel requests, booking confirmations with aligned documentation and key assistance and other helpful travel information. It's really grown into quite a system on its own – and we are, of course, very proud. But in our usual understated way.

So if you think you have an idea or a different approach you’d like brought to life, or even help initially thinking around a challenge you face, we’re always happy to have a chat. As well as outstanding service we’ve built our business and reputation around being the most agile ATS on the market - which also means sometimes not being an ATS at all, which is cool, because who wants to be pigeon-holed anyway - so drop us a line or give us a call. Being challenged is what we live for.
