The system should meet the following criteria and those requirements set out in Schedule 1b: The vacancy management and recruitment process for Hiring Managers should be intuitive and straight forward, whilst ensuring that robust and compliant processes are followed. The system should facilitate and support end-to-end recruitment processes, from requesting a vacancy be recruited to, reviewing and shortlisting applications, setting up and feeding back on assessments, through to monitoring the onboarding progress of successful candidates.

Candidates should be able to easily provide all relevant application and compliance information using recruiter pre-defined application forms, tailored to specific roles. They should be able to track the progress of their application with ease. The system should support recruiters to deliver timely and efficient processes that minimise the impact of potential bias, utilising functionality including AI generated candidate recommendations (e.g. A / B / C Lists), CV parsing and the ability to submit full / partial / redacted / parsed application information to shortlisting panel. Recruiters should be able to set up and invite candidates to a range of assessment formats including individual interviews and group assessments. Super Users should be able to easily report and analyse key recruitment metrics such as request to recruit and application volumes, time to hire, and key recruitment stage timelines or bottlenecks.

The system should support integrations with key systems including Office 365 (excluding Excel), HRIS payroll systems, specifically iTrent by MHR, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and identification and verification screening services.
