Streamline your recruiting process

Vista provides a recruiting tool that will allow you to gather applicant data via your corporate website. Applicant data can be collected and will reside in a stand-alone database where your Recruiters can monitor and control content. You will be able to add a link to your corporate website to provide access to this tool to view open positions and jobs which can be posted with descriptions, along with their qualifications. Interested candidates can logon to the site and record their own resume data and identify interest in open jobs/positions. They’ll have the ability to tell you about their experience and how they may fit particular openings. They can even upload their resume and attach it to their record! Recruiters can review candidates who have recorded information within the database, then selectively transfer appropriate applicants back into the Vista database for further recruiting activities.

The Applicant component gives human resources departments complete command over the entire hiring process for each department in every location. With workflow and/or e-mail, users can electronically distribute employment applications and resumes to department managers. Quick availability of applicant data, combined with comprehensive reporting capabilities, allows easy information analysis. It is also a better way to track and control costs, improve applicant management and strengthen candidate relations. And it further streamlines the process by reducing paperwork.
