Request for Quotation – Design and Implementation of a Bespoke Recruitment and Video Interviewing System – St Helens
Please click here to view full RFQ document
Background
Mercury Hampton Ltd is an executive search and headhunting business. It was established in October 2017 and provides Retained search, Search & Selection, strategic recruitment and talent advisory services to clients across varied industry sectors, and many global locations.
Requirement
We have a requirement for a bespoke software package, incorporating a CRM & ATS system that will allow us to:
Log candidate profiles
a) Search our candidate database
b) Formulate shortlists
c) Arrange interviews
d) Log placements
Log client information
a) Company data
b) Contact data
c) Organisational structures
d) Register vacancies against company records.
Plus, other standard recruitment CRM / ATS features.
(Ideally we are looking for providers who already have a recruitment CRM & ATS system in place who are capable of designing and adding in the bespoke elements listed below.)
Bespoke features:
Usability – the system must be easy to use with an intuitive design and a simple, user friendly interface.
Video interviewing – we would like to include a video interviewing system with the capability to record 2-way (between recruiter and candidate) and 1-way (candidate answering pre-determined questions) interviews and share this with our clients via a link in an email.
Business Development video – we require the option to record and send business development videos, this would work by us recording a message for the prospective client, showing us in a small box on the screen. The rest of the screen would show a screen share of our computer where we be able to demonstrate the capabilities of this system to our clients. Much the same as Odro’s software or software that CRM companies use to demo their products.
Psychometric testing – We would like the system to incorporate a testing system so that we can provide candidate psychometric testing reports to our clients at shortlisting stage. We have a current provider of this so integration of an open API would be considered.
Email Tracking – we would like the function to send a number of emails from the system, for example business development emails, CV submittal, interview confirmations, marketing info. We would like these to be tracked and us notified upon opening/forwarding.
Automated Business Development Tool – we require the ability to record client info and schedule a number of marketing email templates to be sent automatically to reduce admin time.
Pipeline Tracking – we measure our consultants’ performance on sales pipeline value, job coverage and fee generation. We would need to view these on an individual and company wide basis.
Management Reports – we need to be able to view and track a range of metrics from a ‘management dashboard’ type system.
We currently have 7 active CRM Users in our business, we are looking to scale this to 10 – 15 in the coming months. The system must allow us to create additional user accounts.
We appreciate more information may be required, we are happy to discuss our requirements in more detail. Please contact Jack Woodcock on 01925 937 311 or jack.woodcock@mercuryhampton.com
