Transforming Recruitment with a Centralized Databank and Workflow Solution

Introduction
Efficient recruitment processes are critical for sourcing top talent, especially when operating across multiple agencies and international markets. Our client, a recruitment firm specializing in placing candidates from Malaysia into Singapore-based companies, required a robust system to manage candidate sourcing, interviews, and documentation. We developed a comprehensive Recruitment Databank and Workflow solution to streamline operations and improve collaboration among agencies and hiring managers.

The Challenge
The client faced several challenges in their recruitment process:
1. Fragmented Candidate Data: Multiple agencies handled candidate information in disparate systems, leading to inefficiencies and data duplication.
2. Complex Interview Management: Coordinating interviews across time zones and agencies was time-consuming.
3. Document Handling: Ensuring proper documentation for cross-border employment required a centralized and secure system.
4. Lack of Workflow Visibility: Hiring managers struggled to track the recruitment process and candidate statuses.

To address these challenges, we designed and implemented a centralized Recruitment Databank and Workflow platform with the following core modules:
