Why UK recruitment teams choose Jobtrain

Your recruiters lose half their day to admin. Adverts take hours and still attract the wrong people. Candidates go cold before day one. None of it is niche. It’s exactly what Jobtrain is built to solve.

AI built differently

Most ATS vendors bolt AI onto products built for a different era. Jobtrain builds it in from the ground up, powered by Microsoft Azure OpenAI.

It all runs securely inside Jobtrain. Your data never trains public AI models. Tested with the NHS, local authorities and care providers, where governance matters.

Talent Intelligence

Most ATS providers give you a system and leave you to it. Jobtrain includes a dedicated Talent Intelligence function – powered by our proprietary data engine, Candidata™ – as standard for all clients. Our Talent Intelligence team uses recruitment data from across our client base to give you sector benchmarks, candidate behaviour insights, and ED&I analysis that help you make better hiring decisions. With 25 years of recruitment expertise behind it, this is the kind of strategic support most organisations only get from expensive consultancies.

Learn more about our talent intelligence service

Jobtrain includes a fully branded careers site as standard – no separate licence, no third-party builder, no developer needed to keep it updated. Your team manages content directly, using your own library of images, video, and AI-generated imagery to create job adverts and employer brand pages that genuinely reflect your organisation.

FAQs

Questions we’re asked most

Straight answers to what HR and resourcing teams ask us before a demo.

What is Jobtrain?

Jobtrain is a UK applicant tracking system (ATS) for in-house recruitment teams. It covers every stage of hiring, from vacancy approval and job adverts to screening, offers, compliance checks and onboarding. You also get a partner: a dedicated Talent Intelligence team, UK-based support and recruitment expertise built up since 1999.

Who uses Jobtrain?

Organisations with complex, high-volume or multi-site hiring. That includes NHS trusts and boards, councils, care providers, multi-academy trusts, universities and private employers across more than 20 sectors in the UK and Ireland. Clients include NHS Scotland, Yorkshire Building Society, Chester Zoo and St Helens Borough Council.

How much does Jobtrain cost?

It depends on your organisation’s size, hiring volume and the modules you need. Pricing is usually an annual licence plus a one-off set-up fee. Every licence includes unlimited users, jobs and candidates, so your costs don’t rise as your team or your hiring grows. We’ll give you a tailored quote after a short conversation.

How long does implementation take?

Usually a few weeks to a few months, depending on your processes, integrations and how much you want to configure. You get a dedicated Onboarding Manager and Account Manager from the scoping stage, so you’re never left to work it out alone. Around 90% of the platform is configurable without developers.

How does Jobtrain use AI?

AI takes on the slow parts, such as writing job adverts, matching candidates and structured screening. It runs securely inside Jobtrain on Microsoft Azure OpenAI and your data never trains public AI models. Every final decision stays with your people. Our AI Assurance Statement explains how we design, test and govern it.

Is Jobtrain secure and UK GDPR compliant?

Yes. Jobtrain holds ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus certification, and we run regular independent penetration tests. Your data is hosted across multiple UK data centres on Microsoft Azure. Single sign-on, two-factor authentication, role-based permissions and configurable retention rules help you meet your UK GDPR obligations.

What does Jobtrain integrate with?

Jobtrain has 50+ integrations. They include HR and payroll systems such as MHR, SAP, Oracle and Workday. DBS checks run through First Advantage and right to work checks through TrustID. For the NHS we connect to NHS Jobs and ESR. We scope the integrations you need during implementation. See our partners

Can we buy Jobtrain through a framework?

Yes. Jobtrain has been a G-Cloud supplier for many years. That gives NHS, local government and other public sector organisations a compliant and quicker route to buy, without running a full tender. Find us on G-Cloud
