Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Frontline Recruiting & Hiring for our applicant tracking needs. We use this platform to post internal and external positions, allowing internal and external candidates to apply. If you use requisition numbers, Frontline Recruiting & Hiring help you track the req. Prior to using Frontline Recruiting & Hiring, our applications were still in paper format and we will keeping tracking of applications by date. We would discard any applicants that were a year old. Using the Frontline Recruiting & Hiring platform makes the process that more seamless.

Pros

Cons

  • When Frontline Recruiting & Hiring notifies us that we have an interested applicant that applied. The email should include the resume and application.
  • Based on our industry, it would be nice to be able to modify the application
  • Frontline Recruiting & Hiring is not as user friendly when trying to search candidates after a certain period of time.

Return on Investment

  • quick response time from management, which includes the ability to write notes to each other
  • Considering the above response, it would be nice if Frontline Recruiting & Hiring provided a notification when management leaves notes about the applicant
  • The ability to see the number or percentage of applicants that do not finish or submit their application.
