Public Sector and Government
greater.jobs, a collaboration of local authorities in Greater Manchester, along with GMCA and TfGM, has gone live with Jobtrain’s applicant tracking system (ATS) to support their recruitment, onboarding and reporting capabilities. This move marks a significant advancement in streamlining public sector recruitment processes across the region.
Jobtrain, a provider of recruitment technology based in Altrincham, Cheshire, has been selected to support the recruitment processes for greater.jobs. With over 20 years of experience in providing applicant tracking systems, Jobtrain has developed a robust solution tailored to meet the complex needs of public sector recruitment.
greater.jobs serves as the central hub for employment opportunities, with roles ranging from apprenticeships to senior management and everything in between. The implementation of Jobtrain’s leading-edge recruitment platform is set to transform the recruitment capability across the authorities, providing a seamless, data-driven, and user-friendly platform for all stakeholders and users.
Chris Keeling, MD and CEO of Jobtrain, stated:
“We are thrilled to partner with greater.jobs to enhance their recruitment process. Our applicant tracking system is designed to be intuitive and highly functional, catering to the diverse needs of public sector recruitment.”
Alison Herbert, Project Lead for greater.jobs added:
“We’re delighted to launch and go live with our new applicant tracking system – Jobtrain.
We chose Jobtrain because of their extensive experience working with large public sector organisations and look forward to establishing a great partnership.”
The system’s comprehensive reporting capabilities allow for data-driven decision-making at regional and local levels, supporting ongoing improvements in equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives and provide valuable insights and reporting services to drive positive change across the group.
The platform aims to modernise recruitment processes and ensure a seamless experience for all stakeholders. Focusing on candidate experience is central, with a commitment to delivering an engaging, interactive, and easy-to-navigate platform.
Securing the contract with greater.jobs involved a comprehensive tender process, during which Jobtrain showcased its ability to meet the diverse needs of large public sector organisations.
