Self-expanding by design, the tree view accomodates unlimited quick "at a glance" views of your information.

Internet Recruiting

The Recruiter runs under the MIDAS application server technology. This allows it to run over the Internet without the need of Citrix server or similar platform. The system does not use a web browser, but instead uses a proprietary module that runs on each users' computer. This allows recruiters to work remotely with only a small client application to install. All recruiters need are the IP address of the computer where your MS/SQL Server resides. Users connect from any remote location using an Internet Protocol (IP) address. This allows for securely accessing the database from literally anywhere.

Application server technology Secure, browser-less access Centralized MS/SQL Server database

Live Job Order Mirroring

Post your job openings on your own web site just by clicking a field in the job order, and remove it the same way or set it to be instantly removed when the job is filled. Job order mirroring allows you to always maintain current job opening details in front of your potential candidates. A candidate can then post his/her resume to the job and have it sent to the owning recruiter.

Security

For extended security, users logging on the system will be authenticated using the Windows NT or 2000 SAMS file, Windows security file. Once proven that this user has access to this server, he will then be authenticated against the Recruiter User database. This means two level of security, first is that he is allowed to access the company server, second to see if he is allowed to access Recruiter.

NT and SQL authentication Recruiter-level privileges and restrictions



Authorities

The Security Console is a powerful and robust tool that allows your organization to control the access to the database. Controlling means that you can hide any of the above completely from the user; you may make fields read only for other groups and give other groups full control. Each user will be assigned special authorities. Users are members of groups; each group is assigned its security level.

Using The Security Console, you control: Hiding inaccessible fields Marking fields read only Coloring fields based on predefined criteria by user or company to identify hot applicants. Allow printing specific reports Limit printing for specific user, hiding details, etc... Menu Items will be hidden from users who have no access to the hidden menu. Assigning regions for multiple office use. Ownership of records.



Give Access to Your Clients

Your clients can have a copy of the The Recruiter Client executable and they can easily search your database for applicants and request to interview them. Only the record numbers are available, without detailed contact information. They can also add job orders to your database. You control what each client may perform and access. This powerful feature will make your company shine with your clients.

Searching Capabilities

Several methods of searching are available.

Searching is based on having users build their searches by selecting the fields they want directly from the database with an English-like language. It allows them to use And, Or, Not, Resembles logic. This gives great power to the search. Sample Search Screen Selecting from Skill Lists

Further Search addition:

The query is built dynamically and shown here for verification purpose. The search criteria could be saved for researching. Recruiter Will allow for saving of tasks. All sorting problems will be eliminated.

Lookup Windows

Lookup windows popup to provide a list of pre-defined, standardized items. Lookups are organized hierarchically. When used for searching the hierachical nature permits "shotgun" searches of all items within a specific hierarchy. Lookups will be generated in a presentation format in separate windows allowing Duplicate skills to be added. When a duplicate skill is found in the table while typing, the system will list all duplicates skills to allow user to select form them. For example, Windows 2000 can appear under IT skills and Application Development. When user types Windows 2000, he will see a box that lists: Windows 2000 (IT) Windows 2000 (AD) For the user to select which set is wanted in the search criteria.

Statistical Graphs

Recruiter can build on-screen and printable graphs. These graphs show user's recruiting performance, Number of new Applicants, Number of Jobs, Placements, outgoing Phone calls etc.

Performance

Recruiter is built for utmost performance. Static data is cached on all users' computers upon start-up. All processing is handled at the server side for fastest access to data. Screens are also cached on client computers for rapid displays.

Database Design

Our database was designed and built for maximum performance and flexibility with respect to security. This makes it easier to retrieve records and to build reports using any report writer. Remote connection allows for the centralization of the database. All the company data is hosted at the corporation's preferred site. With our Client Server-based design and the utilization of multi-tiered distributed application service suite (MIDAS), we eliminate the need for direct database connections.

Recruiter Main Menu

The Main Menu is fully customizable. Driven from a user-specific definition file, it displays only what the user should access by hiding unauthorized menu items.





Adaptive Design Platform

The Adaptive Design Platform is the set of stock tables, fields, screens, formats, menus and processes that are the essence of The Recruiter. We model your system using our design platform. This yields rapid prototyping after analysis of your requirements.

Screens
Screens from our base Adaptive Design Platform can be molded into those that suit your requirements. Since screens are the most visible representation of your data, great effort has gone into an appealing design. You are able to change:

• Screen layout
• Labels
• Tab organization
• Embedded tree views
• Embedded lists
• Listing filters
• Field-level access rules
• Colour-coding rules.

Tabs
Tabs contain detailed pages of information. The are completely customizable. Build any number of tabbed pages. A sample candidate tab is shown:





Relational Data Displays
The base platform uses relational data models to allow related information to appear in grids and trees. As trees expand, all related information becomes visible as detailed summaries. For example, as you expand a candidate, you will see work experience, education, attach job orders.

With job orders, you can relate candidates by various filters such as
1- Considered for the Job
2- Applied for the Job
This will allow users to have a working candidates list and non working one, those who are contacted and willing to apply for the job will be moved form the Considered list to the Applied List.

Users will be able to change the listing format, as they prefer. They can see results in a tree listing or in the regular grid. Users may customize grid to their own preference. This grid or tree also limits what the user can do based on privileges.

Certain grids present unlimited information. This allows for unlimited phones, email addresses, street addresses.
