project-extranet launches recruitment specific extranet apps

We know that the project-extranet platform allows businesses of all types to operate more efficiently internally and improve the service offered to customers externally and with our ability to create bespoke Apps we have created some truly unique offerings for customers.

Now we have brought that thinking to the recruitment sector with project-extranet for recruitment agents. We have long believed that recruitment agents could seriously improve the service they offer by making use of project-extranet shared workspaces. For each position being filled, create a project and populate it with the candidates being put forwards. Use all the collaboration tools to arrange interviews, stimulate discussion about candidates and manage candidate databases.

So by working closely with a number of recruitment agencies we have developed a series of Extranet Apps designed specifically for the recruitment business. These both improve internal operational efficiency and significantly enhance the service you offer your customer.

• Candidate Wall: Post your candidates to a shared workspace to allow your clients in to access, rate, review, download cv’s, request interviews, short list and reject, all at the click on a button.
  
  
• Candidate Database: Manage your candidates in one central location. Capture their history, store documents, keep track of their status.
  
• Task management: Process driven interview, rejection, shortlisting and follow-up tasks help your staff stay on top of their job and help you get more done with less.

More information about project-extranet for recruitment agents as well as a 30-day free trial can be found at www.project-extranet.com/recruitmentagency/

project-extranet upgrade live

The latest update to project-extranet has now been applied and normal service has been resumed.

If you find that your extranet is exhibiting funny behaviour, calendars, folder lists not showing their contents, etc please try refreshing the page using your browsers refresh function. It maybe that you are using an old copy of some of the files required to run project-extranet correctly.

Over the next few days we will be publishing guides and how-to’s explaining each of the new extranet features in detail and how you get the best out of them.

Meanwhile, the first couple of guides are already up. These explain how to set-up your User Groups (Getting Started with User Groups) and Calendar synchronisation, which allows you to sync your project calendars with Microsoft Outlook, Apple iPhone/iPad, gmail calendar and more. Setting up Extranet Calendar Sync.


Need help
If you have any problems or have any questions about the extranet we now have an online chat facility that is available to your extranets administrator users. Scroll to the bottom of the extranet and click the chat button.

Planned maintenance

We are currently applying an upgrade to project-extranet.com. There maybe some service disruption during the next few hours.

We will post again here when normal service has been resumed. This should be around midday.

project-extranet update coming this weekend

The BETA testing phase for our latest and greatest update to project-extranet was completed today meaning that our scheduled rollout will occur this weekend. 

As usual all extranets will receive this upgrade, free, as part of the service. We plan to start this work from 9am Saturday and are aiming to have every extranet upgrades by the end of the day. There will be periods during this upgrade where your Extranet will be unavailable. We will keep this disruption to a minimum, but we’re sure it will be worth it!
