This new screen is reached by clicking on the OPEN POSITIONS "FastLink" on your dashboard. This brings up a popup showing all Positons you have set as Open, along with the number of Applicants, Interviews, and Hires for each Position(posting).
From the popup, you can click on ony of the numbers shown, and you will get a spreadsheet showing the people who make up the numbers displayed.
Based upon your feedback, we have added the ability to search through all 3 tabs at once for a Workers Documents. Should be a good time saver. Feel free to email us any other suggestions of things we can do to make working on our system easier and more efficient!
FastRecruiting's system has a new feature for Adding Requistions and automatically Reporting on the progress to fill them. You can find this at APPLICANTS/REQS on your top navigation menu.
First, you name your requisition, assign it to a position and a location, put in a date needed by, add # of workers needed and any notes.
Once your Requisition has been named and added, the coinciding Report will automatically show your progress in filling it as applicants apply and are hired for the position/location the Requisition is set to. Another very simple to use, yet powerful feature in the Fast Recruiting system. This feature helps keep sales, ops and HR on the same page when starting new accounts, or filling open slots.
An alternate version is also nearing completion for those clients with projects to fill, rather than "positions." In this version, instead of selecting the position/location, you would name the req, and select the Project to assign it to.
A new feature was added to the applicant spreadsheets today to enable bulk updates of status and/or shortlists (projects).
To use, check the checkboxes to the left of Applicant Name(1). Either Select All on page by clicking top checklist, or check individual applicants. Once you have selected your applicants, click on the Update Button on right side(2).
When you click the Update Button, you will get a popup(shown below) that enables you to choose the Status and/or the Shortlists you would like to change all selected applicants to. Once chosen, click the Update button within the Popup and you are done. All selected applicants have been assigned to the new Status and/or Shortlist.
The functionality of clicking in the Status or the Shortlist dropdowns directly on spreadsheet and changing individual applicants remains for when you want to change one by one.
Yellow Cab of Denver has taken automation to a new level in the process involved with contracting cab and shuttle drivers. Using the Fast Recruiting system, Yellow enables their specific process to be automated as follows:
"The time savings is enormous and the contractor information is always complete. Bottom line is we are able to keep our fleet on the road with less resources involved and in a much more organized fashion. " said Cory Mack, Contracting Supervisor for Denver Yellow Cab.
Maintaining the contractor files is another area in which Yellow is benefiting from going paperless with FastRecruiting. "Before contracting an applicant, we can easily see that all required documents have been completed. Once contracted, we are alerted to any expiring documents. Having the files talk to us, insures we are 100% compliant and up to date on all contractor files. Before using Fast Recruiting, this was not nearly as easy a task," commented Mack.
Bart Bement, CEO of Fast Recruiting added, "It is nice to see a client employing all the automation we have built into the system, and to see it working exactly as intended. Although not all our clients choose to take the automated path to this degree, based upon the results of Yellow, they may want to reconsider their Fast Recruiting setup to include some of these optional tools."
Fast Recruiting's automated interview scheduling system, enables you to stop playing phone tag with your top prospects, and get them scheduled for an interview quickly, easily and effectively. To setup your FR automated interview scheduling system, you first set your availability as shown below. Setup each Interview time period you wish to enable an applicant to choose for each day of the week you wish to conduct interviews. You can setup and manage your Phone and Personal Interview settings here. If there are specific dates off you would like to block off of availability, you can also do this here. The number of days forward determines how many days into the future you would like applicants to be able to register for an interview. Click on image for full screen.
The other thing required on setting up your automated interview system is to create email templates that will serve as the "Invite to Phone" or "Invite to Personal Interview." You need to create a template for both Phone and Personal Interviews. Below is an example. Click on image for full screen.
Now that you have everything setup, all there is to using the automated interview scheduling is to checkmark the prospects/applicants you wish to Invite, and then hit the Invite to Phone or Personal interview buttons. You will get a confirmation that the email was successfully sent, and the Applicants status will automatically change to "Invited to Personal Interview" or "Invited to Phone Interview." Once the applicant selects an interview Date/Time, this will show on your Dashboard "Fastlinks" as well as within your calendar. The recruiter will also then receive an email with the Interview details. Click on image for full screen.
Confirmation and Change of Status.
This feature enables you to see your applicants and their proximity to your worksites. First, you pre select your worksite locations within your admin panel as shown here. This only needs to be done once, or as your worksites change:
Now that you have worksite locations configured in your admin panel, you can go to View Applicants/Locations, and from here, you select which of your worksite zones you wish to see on the map (they will appear in green on map, applicants appear in red)
Now you are ready to narrow down the applicant list with the search parameters atop the page. As you can see, there is an added search filtering parameter for mileage from worksite zone.
You select Applicants from list and hit the Mark Applicants button and these will now show on the map along with the worksite marker. You can also select a page range if you wish to map over 50 applicants. Clicking a marker on map brings up applicant info. Also the list of those applicants within the mileage range you have selected shows below the map, enabling you to quickly access these applicants info and to direct communication their way. The further most right column displays the mileage to the worksite zone from the applicants home address.
We have a new admin tool that enables you to name each Spreadsheet and also assign status's to it. As are most things in FR, it's pretty easy to setup. This will additionally give you the ability to have different spreadsheets for certain Positions, should you have this need.
Costa Mesa, CA and Glendale, AZ/ October
22, 2009 — Fast Recruiting, Inc,
a provider of Web-based recruiting management and scheduling
solutions and Total Transit, Inc, of Glendale, Arizona, which
operates several leading transportation companies including Discount Cab,
have joined forces to implement the Fast Recruiting paper-saving, web-based application
process for contracting cab drivers.
"Fast Recruiting's online
application process fits into Total Transit's mission of being the greenest
transportation company we can be,” said Craig Hughes, CEO of Total Transit,
Inc. “Prospective drivers now apply directly on our website and our recruiters
then automatically schedule interviews, run background checks, enroll
prospective drivers into our training classes, and get them through the
approval process and into a green cab."
Fast Recruiting’s Web-based system is
truly a win-win for transportation companies that must process a high volume of
applicants. Online recruitment not only provides Discount Cab’s management
with time savings and other efficiencies; it is also primarily paperless.
“We estimate 75% less paper usage
when a company converts to online recruiting,” said Bart Bement, CEO of
Fast Recruiting, Inc. “In this economy, companies such as Discount
Cab are getting many applications each day. At an average of five pages
for each applicant, the annual savings in paper is huge and truly helps
companies to reduce their carbon footprint.”
And most importantly, online
recruiting helps to screen out the approximately 38% of applicants who do not
meet the basic requirements of the position. This enables the recruiter to
focus on the 62% that are actually qualified. Previously, all applicants
qualified or not, would just show up to apply.
Before meeting the applicant, integrated
background checks are completed within the Fast Recruiting system, alerting the
recruiter to any past criminal and traffic convictions as well as incorrect
Social Security numbers.
"The biggest challenge for us
in this project was to accommodate the regulatory issues inherent in
contracting cab drivers, while at the same time making the application
experience an easy one for even the novice Internet user," commented Bement.
"With the help of Discount Cab’s recruiting, safety and
management staff, we designed an online application process that works for even
the newest of Internet users.”
