- inploi's human-centric approach and personalised talent
platform wins competitive tender bid against larger
incumbent industry vendors
LONDON, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A consortium of 13
local authorities and key services in Greater Manchester and Blackpool have
selected inploi's candidate experience platform to
enhance their talent acquisition programmes, increase hiring
efficiencies, and streamline the application process for potential
employees. The four-year contract to overhaul greater.jobs is worth
a six-figure sum and was won in a competitive pitch against many
industry solutions.
The partnership with fast-growth UK software scaleup inploi sees
a major upgrade to its talent attraction technology and a
significant enhancement of the candidate experience. Contracted by
Wigan Borough Council under the banner 'the greater.jobs
Collaboration', the council's and key services adopting inploi's
platform are Bolton, Bury, Greater
Manchester Combined Authority, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan, alongside Transport for Greater Manchester and Blackpool.
inploi's technology has upgraded and optimised the greater.jobs
candidate experience to provide a more seamless, personalised
online experience that the existing and future workforce desires.
inploi has deployed multiple branded, intuitive careers
pages for each of the employers. The platform also provides
their people teams with real-time application insights and ROI
intelligence through comprehensive analytics and data
visualisation.
A number of factors are behind the Collaboration upgrading its
talent acquisition process. Pressure on councils is high for well
reported reasons, so providing efficiencies in talent
acquisition is at the top of the agenda. Additionally, with the
UK's labour shortage at almost 1m
vacancies, competition for talent is fierce, and organisations need
to adapt their processes to remain competitive. Gen Z also comes
with an entirely new set of expectations and access requirements
via new channels, and with one in seven employees neurodiverse,
inploi's platform has been developed specifically for these
evolving trends and demands.
Alison Herbert, greater.jobs
Project Lead, commented: "There are a number of reasons why we
chose inploi, including its creative and analytical response to our
requirements, as well as the personal and responsive nature of the
company. Our partnership will significantly enhance our candidate
experience, easing access for applicants to the hundreds of
vacancies across the region. It's an incredibly exciting
transformation and will hugely strengthen our ability to compete
for talent in today's market."
inploi co-founder and CTPO, Alex
Hanson-Smith, added: "This partnership exemplifies how our
technology can be used to help organisations future-proof their
candidate experience in an increasingly competitive labour market.
Our utilisation of AI, vast amounts of data, and robust
integrations is already driving efficiencies for some of the UK's
largest employers. We hope this will set a new standard for public
sector organisations seeking to upgrade from legacy systems."
While inploi's technology works with any system, this
project's implementation involved integrating with Jobtrain, Eploy
and Pentagull, which between them provide the backend Applicant
Tracking Systems (ATS) for the local authorities.
