Our clients

We’re proud of who we already work with within the public sector and local government organisations – here’s just a selection of our clients.

Who we work with

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 too. 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.

SEAMLESS OFFERS, ONBOARDING AND COMPLIANCE CHECKS

Are you finding your onboarding processes are taking too long and you’re losing new hires during the process?

Speed up your onboarding

Reduce new hire drop-out, decrease your time to onboard to as little as 24 hours and save on expensive bank and agency workers with our onboarding and compliance platform.

When final interviews are complete and you’ve found your perfect candidate, bring them on board quickly. 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).

Take up references, manage offers, contracts, forms and complete compliance checks whilst keeping them informed and engaged until their first day with our Onboarding and Welcome Hub features. New hires will be informed, engaged and raring to go ahead of their first day. Welcoming the perfect candidate has never been easier!

Jobtrain can integrate with a huge number of HR & Payroll systems to seamlessly transfer new hire data and documents to your preferred supplier

Finally, our API allows you to consume all new hire data into your 3rd party systems in real-time.

COMPLIANCE CHECKS MANAGED EFFORTLESSLY

Compliance, Right to Work and DBS checks can be overwhelming with many moving parts to manage. Our in-built integrations with DBS, Right to Work and tailored pre-employment checklists, alongside our compliance dashboard, means you can track all aspects of compliance – in one place!

Make compliance checks easy 

From our recruitment system, candidates complete ID verification and Right to Work checks online using our digital certified tool. Online Disclosure applications can be requested and managed within the platform too - we integrate with First Advantage – the specialist DBS and compliance checking provider.

ISLE OF MAN GOVERNMENT

Read how the Isle of Man Government improved their candidate satisfaction score using Jobtrain. They’ve been so impressed with our system that we’ve won the tender two times in a row!

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. For example, your in-house Talent Intelligence Unit wasn’t in our requirement spec, but between the TICTAC newsletter, the Market Reports and the tailored quarterly insights – we are receiving data above and beyond what we had originally set out in our requirements.”
