MANAGE ASSESSMENTS AND INTERVIEWS WITH EASE
Our suite of assessment tools covers every aspect of assessing your potential hires. Create an unlimited number of tailored application and assessment forms yourself.
Application forms support a two-stage process, so you only need to collect the necessary information at the first stage, improving the candidate experience and increasing conversions. Our fully flexible assessment forms can cover everything from simple killer questions to sophisticated scored forms with images and even timed questions.
Transform your assessment processes
For shortlisting, telephone screening and shortlisting forms are available in our applicant tracking system. We offer collaborative panel and anonymous shortlisting to remove unconscious bias from the selection process. Our recruiting software can even connect with your 3rd party online testing tools.
For interviews, our platform integrates with Microsoft Teams to help you seamlessly manage video interviews, while our self-service booking feature makes scheduling face-to-face interviews a breeze.
Are you finding onboarding processes are taking too long and you’re losing new hires during the process?
With Jobtrain, reduce new hire drop-out and decrease time to onboard to as little as 24 hours, saving on expensive bank and agency workers with our onboarding and compliance features.
Once the final interviews are complete and you’ve found your perfect candidate, bringing them on board quickly is imperative. Our recruitment software has all the features you need to manage this in one place, providing real-time updates and access for everyone (including hiring managers).

“The functionality, the forward-thinking, the User Interface, the customer experience. I love that you always have a roadmap of what features are coming next, but Jobtrain is always evolving.
