subject: New Tools For Your Employment Agency Database [print this page] If you have an employment agency, a good database that includes autoresponder job placement software will allow you and your employees to do everything more efficiently. The programs available today have a great deal to offer and they can be modified as time goes by and your business continues to grow.
You will likely be amazed at the things a good program can do. You can allow candidates to enter their resumes, which saves your employees time.
The programs allow you to enter employers' information or you can let the employers do it themselves. If you have regular employers that contact your agency frequently, you can give them a code and allow them to update information and requirements, at their convenience.
The programs can also match jobs to employees. So, instead of spending hours looking through paper files, it takes only a few mouse clicks and a few minutes to bring up the information that you need.
Your database can also be equipped to send e-mails to applicants or candidates. You can follow up with a phone call or let the system take care of it for you. A typical automatic e-mail advises the candidate that a position they may be interested in is available. They can respond to your office by sending an e-mail or making a phone call.
Those are just a few of the ways that autoresponder job placement software can enhance your ability to run your business. Other options on the programs might include accounting, timesheets and expenses. The option for employee self-service is another good one.
You or your employees can print out reports on a daily basis to see what's new. But, except for a small amount of maintenance, there is no need to check up on the system. Everything is done for you.
Autoresponder job placement software will make use of your current internet connection. Hopefully, your business has one. DSL makes things faster. So, if it's available in your area, sign up for it.
Some businesses have programs installed, but because their internet server is slow, the program works slowly. It's not unusual for applicants to walk away, frustrated by the delays.
If you have an existing database, the information stored in it can be included in your new program relatively easily. Of course, the programs available vary. So, it's best to do a little comparative shopping before you invest in autoresponder job placement software.
The functions of today's business tools are simply amazing. But, it all starts with a good database design.
