Before Legalesign

In recruitment, a good candidate is gold dust and a recruitment company must do everything it can to keep a candidate from going elsewhere and to make sure he or she is available for employment as soon as possible. That means getting candidate registration complete in one go and on the first visit.

The amount of information needed for a candidate registration is extensive and requires a 15 page long pack for the candidate to complete. These packs were emailed to the candidate who needed to print, sign and scan it. This meant whenever a pack was incomplete or incorrectly completed it would need to be sent out again, printed again, scanned again. This led to frustration on the part of the candidate and resulted in long delays and lost candidates.
