Placement Partner has a whole host of new features that have been implemented in the last week!

Many of these features have taken months of hard work, testing, programming more testing and finally implementing!

We take pleasure in listing them below:

• The Post Box now boasts a viewed/updated column.  This enables you to see which candidates records have been read and by whom with a date and time stamp. (We hope you like this feature!)

• The Advertising Tab on the vacancy now has an advanced editing tool.

• The Activity Report which includes the option to view the report in chart format, has been improved even further. The consultant menu has been changed to a ‘Multi-Select’ box, so that you can specify which consultants’ activities you would like to view.  To view the report as a chart, click on the Draw Chart icon, each consultant’s activity will be displayed in their own unique colour.  You can then download the chart or print it by clicking on one of the new buttons.  Another clever feature is that you can manipulate the chart by ‘hiding’ consultants when you click on their names in the chart key.

• The Client Activity Report has just been released!  This report lists Vacancies, Interactions and Placements and calculates the placement to vacancy Ratio.  The report has all the new features that the consultant Activity Report also has.

If you experience any difficulties as a result of these updates, please refresh your browsers cache by holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and pressing F5.

We welcome your feedback and as always, are available to assist you with any problems (support@parallel.co.za).

This also means that our clients who are already benefiting from the discount structure will have their discount doubled with their next invoice!

Example
ABC Recruitment has 5 users at a monthly fee of R2195.00 ex VAT and they refer XYZ Recruitment with 10 users to Placement Partner. ABC Recruitment will receive a 10% discount (R 219.50) on their monthly fees for as long as XYZ Recruitment is a Placement Partner client.

The discount will apply to a maximum of 100 referred Placement Partner users and will reflect on the monthly invoices. The discount will be in force as long as the client is subscribed to the Placement Partner Online System and all their payments are up to date.

Our normal Terms and Conditions of sale apply.

For any referrals, we welcome your emails at sales@parallel.co.za.

The entrepreneurial Placement Partner Team!

POPUP is a ministry of the Doxa Deo Group that focus holistically on the restoration of unemployed people’s lives by providing education and skills training to the unemployed with no tertiary education, who are English literate and between 18 and 45 years of age.

POPUP helps underprivileged communities through a holistic approach by addressing their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs. This approach has received acclaim from government, welfare organisations, businesses and church groups. Irrespective of race, culture, gender or religion, POPUP helps the unemployed by offering 10 Seta Accredited Skills Programmes such as Computer/Office Administration, Home-based Care, Hospitality and Sewing.

POPUP trained 3 185 learners and placed 77% of them in employment over the past six and a half years and also invests in learners who want to start with their own business ventures. Together with the corporate world, learners develop during a year-long incubation phase taking place under the watchful eye of a facilitator who monitors quality and standards.

This service is available to clients of Careers24.  If you are not already a client of Careers24, the first step would be to speak to a sales representative of Careers 24.  Once you’ve signed up as a client or if you are already an existing client, you will be asked to sign a consent form. After the technical procedures have been completed, Careers24 will then be able to pick up the vacancy adverts which are live on your website and publish them to their job portal.  When candidates apply for any of your advertised positions they will be directed to your own Placement Partner candidate submission form which, once completed, can be found in your Post Box.

Access to the Careers24 job portal through Placement Partner forms part of the web integration service and is available at no additional charge from Parallel Software.

Happy recruiting!
Kind regards
Your Placement Partner Team
