Recruit Express Is Much More Than Just A Contact Manager

When you first see Recruit Express, it would be understandable if the simple, easy-to-use interface deceived you into thinking that Recruit Express was a basic contact manager, that only tracks names, address and phone numbers.

But behind its familiar facade, Recruit Express has advanced features that no contact manager could ever match, including:

Designed Specifically For Recruiters

Recruit Express is designed from the ground up to reduce the time it takes to process candidates. For example, when a new assignment is added, it is given a unique tracking number, and today's date is automatically entered. You can select the skills required from a list or add new ones in.

Then you can quickly see all of the candidates who have the particular skill or skills required for a given assignment. Once you have found someone that may be suitable for the position, you simply click on the "tick" icon to associate the candidate with the assignment.

As new candidates call up, responding to positions advertised, all their information is captured conveniently in one location, and they are automatically associated with the position they have enquired about.

Easier to Customise

Unlike a contact manager, you don't have to put up with missing fields or fields don't make sense for the way you work. It's easy for authorised users to add new fields or categories into your Recruit Express database, as well as modify or remove existing ones. Recruit Express supports up to 1000 categories, making the possibilities for expansion virtually limitless.

In addition, you can use the built-in Detail Form Designer to easily alter the look and feel of Recruit Express, as well as designing your own customised forms in a simple, drag-and-drop environment.

Data Validation and Data Entry Automation

Recruit Express has data validation technology built into its forms, making it easy to ensure that you don't accidentally enter incorrect information, as well as automating certain functions. For example, Recruit Express makes sure that you enter 10 digits for a phone number, as well as warning you automatically if you try to add a duplicate or pre-existing company or contact in to the database. Recruit Express also automatically puts the Suburb text into uppercase, and automatically looks up the postcode for you.

Save Time Working with Letters

Recruit Express integrates with most popular word processors. Document templates designed for Mail Merge operations can be set up from within Recruit Express, and a number of templates are included to get you started. Names, addresses and other relevant fields can automatically be inserted into your letters, before printing or faxing them out. A note is logged against the person you sent the letter to with a link to the actual file for quick viewing later on. 

Creating acceptance and rejection letters is easy with Recruit Express. When a  position is filled, Recruit Express keeps a record of who the successful candidate was. It can then automatically print a letter to the unsuccessful candidates and/or a letter to congratulate the successful candidate.

Create and Print Shortlists In An Instant

Easier Report Writing

A built-in Report Writer is included with Recruit Express, and allows you to create What You See is What You Get (WYSIWYG) reports with ease. Recruit Express uses Report Writer to create documents such as the Candidate Shortlist, and you can also create your own reports using the included Report Designer.

Shared Calendar and Schedules

Recruit Express includes a complete Group Calendar and scheduling tool, which allows you to keep total control over your appointments, interviews and meetings. You can graphically view your calendar by the day, week, month or year, with colour coding to easily identify the types of meetings you have scheduled. Drag and drop items to schedule or reschedule appointments, and enhance your productivity using features such as conflict identification and the appointment alarm.

Advanced Microsoft Outlook Integration

Recruit Express integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook 2000, XP and 2003. You can share your Recruit Express contact database with the Outlook address book, and integrate your Outlook calendar and task list with Recruit Express. Additional integration features include the ability to log email directly into Recruit Express, and support for Outlook's group scheduling features. 

Better E-mail Marketing

Recruit Express includes powerful email tools to automate the delivery of both marketing E-mails and electronic sales literature. 

Work Away From Your Office

Recruit Express uses Commence RM's Distributed Database Architecture, which allows you to work away from your office, without an Internet or network connection, while still having full access to your data. Simply unplug your laptop from your network and walk away - when you return, Recruit Express will automatically synchronise your computer with the server.

In addition, Recruit Express supports synchronising data using an internet connection or dialling in to your server, allowing you to work remotely for long periods of time and still keep pace with the latest developments back at your office.

Integrates With MYOB 

With the optional AccountLink package, you can automatically update your MYOB accounting package from the data entered into Recruit Express. Changes entered in Recruit Express are recognised by AccountLink and the corresponding records in MYOB are updated or added. AccountLink also finds any changed data in MYOB and updates or adds the associated records in Recruit Express. Now all of your staff can have up to date information, and you can eliminate costly and time-consuming double entry of data.

Integrates With Your Website

Recruit Express includes website integration, so candidates can do the hard work for you! Your candidates can interact directly with the Recruit Express database via your website. Candidates can:

• Register their details;

• Log in and make changes to their details; and

• View positions currently available from the web site.

Part of the registration process gives the candidate the option to submit their resume.

The file submitted by the candidate is then available in Recruit Express, as part of the Candidate's record.

As with everything in Recruit Express, if it isn't exactly the way you want it, then you (or a Commence Consultant) can customise it to suit your exact requirements.
