The MyRecruitOnline software, by DC123 Group of Companies, will provide information to job seekers who scan QR codes embedded in classified ads. DC123 said the software has the ability to process SMS messages and prospective employees could use it to apply for jobs. They can undergo an initial job interview using video conferencing.
Recruiters can use a drag-and-drop feature in their smartphones to shortlist applicants. It also has been designed to take over some of a recruiters administrative work by acting as an avatar for them. Recruiters can create a customised, virtual version of themselves to make decisions and act automatically on their behalf, eliminating administration time, DC123 said in a statement.
After the personalised rules are set up, the system takes over and alerts the recruiter via email, SMS or live chat in real time if something needs attention. The system includes an iPhone application that allows recruiters to access the system and process job applications while on the run using drag-and-drop technology. For example, a recruiter could use their phone to drag a candidate from the screened bucket into the interviewed bucket or shortlisted.
With each drag, all of the various administrative tasks that have to be completed each time are automatically done: notification emails are sent, diary reminders are put in place and reports are sent or updated.The brilliance of the system is in its automation.
DC123 said the software included a built-in online video conferencing system that would allow recruiters to record first-round interviews and send trailers to clients for consideration. Designed in Melbourne, the web-based software, which can be fully operational in a business within three weeks, is already in use in Australia.
DC123 also has announced Michael Coomer as its chairman. Mr Coomer, a former chief information officer at Ansett, moved into the world of banking, first as CIO of National Australia Bank and then as group executive for business and technology services at Westpac.
DC123 said Mr Coomer had spent the past 15 months managing his own IT and business process outsourcing businesses since departing from EDS, following its merger with Hewlett-Packard in 2008.
