"From an HR perspective, our challenges exist in having a
nationally distributed workforce with such an immense number of
different professionals, functions and work environments.
Finding the right people is of the utmost importance to making
sure that our members are getting as much value and assistance as
they can out of their memberships. Maintaining consistency while
finding processes and systems that cater to a diverse range of
needs is probably our biggest requirement.
With recruitment being such a heavily administrative process and
manager's time being as precious as it is, we needed to find a way
to help ease the burden of acknowledging, organising and rejecting
all of the applications received.
Having been introduced to QJumpers at the last EMA briefing, we
decided to trial using their services on two call-centre based
customer service vacancies during December.
Besides the excellent assistance we received from Jo, Katrina
and the QJumper's team, one of the key strengths of using QJumpers
was their Applicant Management
System. Copying and pasting can only speed things up so
far, so having automated acknowledgements has removed the need for
replying to each email application individually using a
template.
When you are receiving sometimes 100 to 200 applications for a
position, this part of the process can be extremely time-consuming
(not to mention tedious and boring!).
As a file management system, it works superbly, is easy to
navigate, and keeps all of the applications and their status
through the recruitment process, be that short-listed or dismissed,
all in one area.
The Applicant Management
System helps organise all the submissions allowing for
you to review each application and sort them into suitable
candidates by creating a shortlist. And for those unsuccessful few
(or unfortunately many in some cases!), it streamlines the process
of notifying people that they have not been progressed on to the
next stage.
One of the only positives to come out of the current economic
climate is that we have been inundated with applications which
makes this system even more useful. However in situations where
there may be few, we have advised our managers to scroll through
the QJumper's Talent Pool to see if there are any suitable
candidates there. Most of the time we don't have to though as those
who are registered with QJumpers are notified of our vacancy and
will apply anyway.
All-in-all a fantastic system which has really sped up and eased
the administration around recruiting!"

I joined Orcon at the start of 2008
with a view to growing the business while reducing recruitment
costs. Specifically we needed to reduce our reliance on recruitment
agencies - which meant we needed to go to market and recruit
directly through our own advertising.
At the time there were around 120 employees, with anticipated
growth of around 70%. Being a small company with a huge growth
quota and only myself focused on recruitment, we needed extra help
and so employed the services of QJumpers.
Over the 2008 calendar year, Orcon
recruited 97 new employees. Through utilising the
QJumpers advertising and filtering services, we were able to save
over $400,000.00 for the year in recruitment
agency fees.
The advertising and filtering service was a key
factor in our recruitment process. Having these steps taken care of
meant we had more time to focus on the assessment stages of our
recruitment process, thus reducing our time to hire.
From being effective and having the
time to make the right hiring decisions, we were also able to
reduce our turnover from 49% to 21% in the year.
I'd recommend businesses should
seriously consider QJumpers as an alternative to traditional
recruitment methods.
Having a support resource focused on
advertising and
filtering really impacted on our time to hire, turnover, but
more importantly contributed to a saving of over $400,000.00!
We were really pleased with the service that QJumpers provided
in terms of putting our advertisement together and then
listing it on the various sites, but most importantly we managed to
successfully recruit a new solicitor as a result of the
advertisement."
"I will definitely use your services again. Generally with
recruitment I find it very difficult to manage time. With so
many emails and interruptions throughout the day from candidates it
is sometimes impossible to get anything else done. With your
service, I can schedule time (usually about 20 minutes) every
couple of days in my calendar to look at CVs and create my
short-lists - and the bulk response tools must
have saved hours off the last job we posted with you."

"I used QJumpers because of the EMA connection and discount
offered, plus the ability to move the job forward in stages as we
required. We started off with the basic product, Applicant
Sourcing, and then moved up to the filtered service. Had we had more
applicants I would have considered using the short list
service.
I was very happy the ad was on the web the same day we contacted
them. There was a slight delay of one day before the results
were filtered for me due to demand.
I checked the filtering process against the applicants that were
filtered out and I must say they were filtered very
accurately. We got our staff member from the filtered
applicants and have been very happy with her.
I would use QJumpers again - it was efficent and value for
money!
"What a great group of candidates you presented for our
consideration for the support worker roles at our new Mt. Albert
service. We are moving forward with six of the candidates you
presented, and will be making offers .... pending satisfactory
reference checks..
Once again, working with all of you has been a pleasure."
"QJumpers have done amazing improvements to the application process in
which I am very pleased from when I first used your service to
current. Your staff are wonderful and supportive, rapid responses,
assist without hesitation, courteous and absolutely professional
but still give that human touch, awesome. Many many thanks to you
all."
"We have found and hired an applicant from QJumpers for the
position we had advertised. The best thing about it
was easily accessing the CV's and being able to eliminate the
applicants who didn't match our requirements i.e. HT License Class
2 was an essential requirement this time around. Knowing our advertisement
was linked to three other sites gave us an advantage. Thank you
for your support we would definitely use QJumpers for future
vacancies as it was extremely easy and accessible."
"Just wanted to say how fab and easy the process was as well - I
will be telling everyone about it!"
- Renee Forgie::Icon Advertising
"We have used QJumpers on a number of occasions and have found
the service reduces costs and time that we would otherwise spend on
recruitment. Being able to advertise on several high-profile
websites through one provider is first-rate, as is the ability
for us to manage candidates from all
websites through one portal. The service is also being continually
being upgraded and improved, which is great to see. We will carry
on advertising available positions through QJumpers."

"I have had an excellent response to this advert
programme on QJumpers.. 25 applicants and at least 7 high
calibre and worth interviewing. We are delighted!!!"

"We decided as was discussed with
Cherri to have her look after our [recruitment] while we
concentrated on [our business]. I just wanted to thank you for your
help and to let you know that all the candidates thought Cherri was
wonderful. I also wanted to say that we would definately use you
again in the future."
- Nadine Morris :: DQ Company Limited
"Your services do make it affordable
to us "smaller" businesses to find the right candidate."
- Peter Lowish :: @ web one
"We had a good response to your advertising
and very little from the newspaper so in the future I will approach
Q Jumpers to advertise all our positions, it proved a much more
financially viable option. Great service."
- Lynette King :: Crombie Lockwood
"I was very happy with the service
provided by QJumpers. The staff that helped us through our recruitment process
were fabulous and provided a great service. Would definitely
recommend their service to our members."
- Laina Girven :: Chamber of Commerce,
Tauranga Region Inc
"Your job listing service is very
effective and the extra services that you provide
are also cost efficient. Thank you for a job well done and we will
use your service again."
- Murray Falloon :: Technical
Water Systems Limited
"I'am very happy with the service from
QJumpers. We have found 3 qualified Plumbers. The applicant management system
was very user friendly as we could dismiss candidates that didn't
match almost straight away. We had some under qualified candidates
apply but the easy dismiss response made things alot easier than
having to write the letters ourselves. We will definitely use
QJumpers again when vacancies arise!"
- Leanne Armstrong :: Armstrong Plumbing
"Traditionally, candidate search has
been dependent on meeting Wednesday and Saturday newspaper
deadlines. I found QJumpers were able to provide an immediate broad
reach through three separate websites at any given time during the
week. The process is cost efficient and delivers results. I wouldnt
hesitate to use them again."
