technology platform

Overview

Accolo’s Universal Hiring Platform (UHP) is a proprietary technology that drives significant efficiencies and enforces recruiting best practices.  From our client and Hiring Manager perspective, it provides a simple web portal.  This portal serves as a central collaboration tool for Hiring Managers, HR and operations teams and the Accolo delivery team.  It provides all of the tracking, compliance and reporting functionality, replacing the need for an applicant tracking system (ATS).  There is nothing for you to buy, customize, install or maintain.

Key Benefit

The core of our application design is automating tasks that are routine and administrative, giving users of the UHP more time for high-touch hiring manager support and a greater focus on the art of recruiting.

Key Features

Web based
Instead of expensive software that you have to purchase, customize and install, Accolo’s web application is maintained by us, not you. That means no upgrades, new versions to install or limited access if you’re on the road.  Simplicity is great.

Collaborative workspace
Each hiring manager has a three screen console where they can review candidates, make decisions, and communicate with their Hiring Consultant.  No crowded inboxes or questions about where that candidate’s resume has gone.  Access what you want, when you want. 

Employer branding
From job postings to follow-up emails, we support your brand, not Accolo’s.  This visibility sets us apart from a traditional staffing agency with both clients and candidates. 

EEO and OFCCP compliant
We track everything necessary to meet EEO and OFCCP guidelines.  In fact, we’ve partnered with the EEOC on compliance issues.  Give me a C! Give me an O! Give me an M-P-L-I-A-N-C-E. What’s that spell? Fun.

Pre-qualification of candidates
You don’t have to look at hundreds of resumes trying to find a needle in the haystack.  Instead, our Hiring Consultants will develop an online interview with input from your Hiring Managers.  Your team can then focus only on candidates who meet a predetermined threshold.  Unless of course you like looking at resumes from recent grads when you’re trying to fill an executive level position.

Follow up for 100% of applicants
94% of candidates who apply for a position never get a response. We think that’s unacceptable.  Candidates are also potential customers, shareholders and referral sources, and they deserve respect and follow-up.  The UHP ensures that every candidate is treated like a future employee, investor, customer or litigant (just kidding).

Careers page management
Accolo can manage your careers page as part of our service offering.  Two little lines of code allow us to update your career’s page in real-time and manage your candidate pipeline.  Ah, the power of technology!

Real-time tracking and reporting
You have real time insight into activity on every position.  Want to know how many candidates applied for job X? Or how many interviews have occurred for job Y?  It’s all there.  Our technology helps you hold us accountable.  How cool is that?

Tech FAQ

How is this different from an ATS?
The Universal Hiring Platform provides all of the standard functionality of an ATS, and includes a more holistic set of features.  The UHP serves as a workflow management tool, social networking engine, online interviewing and assessment tool, and web-based collaboration portal.  It was designed from the ground up to adhere to the 10 Universal Hiring Best Practices, so the focus is on connecting the two people who matter most — the Hiring Manager and the best candidate for that job.  It is simple, easy to use and facilitates the hiring process for everyone.
