Applicant Tracking System

Midland Heart are looking to go to market for a new Applicant Tracking System. The system should meet the following criteria and those requirements set out in Schedule 1b: The vacancy management and recruitment process for Hiring Managers should be intuitive and straight forward, whilst ensuring that robust and compliant processes are followed. The system should facilitate and support end-to-end recruitment processes, from requesting a vacancy be recruited to, reviewing and shortlisting applications, setting up and feeding back on assessments, through to monitoring the onboarding progress of successful candidates. The candidate journey, from application to onboarding, should be attractive, agile, efficient and intuitive in response to current labour market. Candidates should be able to easily provide all relevant application and compliance information using recruiter pre-defined application forms, tailored to specific roles. They should be able to track the progress of their application with ease. The system should support recruiters to deliver timely and efficient processes that minimise the impact of potential bias, utilising functionality including AI generated candidate recommendations (e.g. A / B / C Lists), CV parsing and the ability to submit full / partial / redacted / parsed application information to shortlisting panel. Recruiters should be able to set up and invite candidates to a range of assessment formats including individual interviews and group assessments. Super Users should be able to easily report and analyse key recruitment metrics such as request to recruit and application volumes, time to hire, and key recruitment stage timelines or bottlenecks. As our reporting requirements and need to access data is often broad and varied, super users should be able to access and easily report all information provided by candidates and hiring managers during the recruitment process. The system should support integrations with key systems including Office 365 (excluding Excel), HRIS payroll systems, specifically iTrent by MHR, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and identification and verification screening services. The system should ensure data security in line with industry best practice and current data protection legislation. The provider must be able to provide dedicated account management with regular reviews including access to the system development roadmap and enhancements, as well as a dedicated helpdesk accessible during UK business hours.
