Benefits
•
Automatic collation of all equal opps information rather than by
academic departments as at the moment
•
Not having inboxes or pigeonholes bursting at the seems come
deadline day
•
Automatic confirmation of receipt of application rather than the need
to send out e-mail confirmation
•
No need to collate information for panel: they can view it themselves
•
Standardisation of applications
•
Central filestore rather than local one
1-4 are the big bonus points.
Benefits continued
•
More rigorous data collection- for example UCL will receive a far higher % of
equality monitoring data (should be 100%) Currently we only get approx 30% of
data back from recruitment exercises. The online system will allow us to get a
much more reliable and a detailed picture of who applies and is appointed for
jobs at UCL.
•
The report facility should make it easier/ quicker to gather a range of information
related to the recruitment process for example recruitment success.
•
No duplication of work- the data will not need to be completed by an applicant
and employee- the data (e.g. equality monitoring data) can be entered by the
applicant and reports run directly. This will save time/ resources.
