Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
All clients are assigned a dedicated Implementation Manager and Client Success Manager. The Client Success Manager will work with customers throughout their partnership with us.

At the outset of the relationship, we hold scoping and discovery sessions onsite with clients to understand their needs, processes, aims and objectives. We then guide them through the process of fully scoping the solution and mapping it against their processes. Once we've gathered all set up information, we complete all aspects of configuration of Jobtrain for clients before inviting clients to user acceptance testing.

Before the system is made live, we hold onsite training sessions with HR users and Super Users. The Jobtrain trainer will be your Implementation Manager who will have implemented many applicant tracking systems and trained many users before.

A fully searchable online help guide is available to all users via a help guide link within Jobtrain, with optional e-learning packages should a client wish.

Scaling

Independence of resources
Jobtrain uses burstable high bandwidth internet connectivity and would usually operate at 20% of its total capacity. The Internet connectivity can easily accommodate any increases of bandwidth in the future and is capable of dealing with the most demanding requirements, including streaming of media content.
Virtual Platform: Jobtrain uses virtual platforms which provide us with both flexibility where resource can be added on demand (this ensures the solution operates at a constant capacity of no more than 60%), and increased availability as the virtual platform is built on fault tolerant and resilient technology.

Analytics

Service usage metrics
Yes
Metrics types
Reports can be generated on a per client basis and include areas such as date ranges and query categories i.e. client query, candidate query, system area, who the request was raised by, time to resolve, first time resolution etc. Typically we will provide service updates per quarter at client review meetings. Reports will include candidate volumes versus queries raised and average time to resolve queries. We will also feed back to the client’s Jobtrain Client Success Manager any training issues we have identified from our support team.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
As used herein, the term "Service Availability" means the percentage of a particular month (based on 24-hour days and an assumed 30-day month) that access to the hosted Jobtrain solution and client/candidate data is available.

Jobtrain will use commercial best efforts to provide clients with 99.9% service availability relating to its hosting. Service Availability is calculated by the number of hours the service is available to clients plus the total number of hours, if any, the service is scheduled to be unavailable, divided by the total number of hours in that month.

If the Service Availability is less than 99.9%, Jobtrain will issue a credit in accordance with the following schedule, with the credit being calculated on the basis of the monthly licence fee for the affected solution:

99.9 to 100% service availability - 0% refund
98% to 99.8% service availability - 10% refund
95% to 97.9% service availability - 25% refund
90% to 94.9% service availability - 50% refund
89.9% or below service availability - 100% refund

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

Jobtrain is committed to providing a quality product and service in a manner that ensures a safe and healthy workplace for our employees and minimises our impact on the environment. We operate in compliance with all relevant environmental legislation, and we will strive to use pollution prevention and environmental best practices in all we do. As an example, we reduce waste through re-use and recycling and by purchasing recycled, recyclable, or re-furbished products and materials where these alternatives are available, economical, and suitable. Promote efficient use of materials and resources throughout our facility including water, electricity, raw materials, and other resources, particularly those that are non-renewable
Jobtrain operate as far as possible a paper-less office. All light bulbs in the building are now energy efficient and we have installed PIR detectors to ensure all lighting is automatically switched off when not in use. Our teams operate a hybrid working model and this reduces our carbon footprint with less commuting to our office locations in Altrincham and Glasgow. Wherever possible, we hold virtual customer and partner meetings to further reduce the environmental impact of our business through reduced travel. Operate a car sharing/pooling policy, support a Cycle to Work Scheme, all waste is appropriately recycled wherever possible, Electricity use (e.g. lighting and heating) is controlled and used only where necessary, all PCs and other electrical equipment are turned off when not in use and this extends to monitors which are turned off, rather than switched to ‘standby’. Wherever possible and appropriate, products sourced for the business must either be recyclable or previous recycled/reconditioned
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

The company is committed to a policy of treating all its employees and job applicants equally. No employee or potential employee shall receive less favourable treatment or consideration on the ground of race, colour, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender, age, disability, marital status or part-time status or will be disadvantaged by any conditions of employment that cannot be justified as necessary on operational grounds. It is good business sense for the company to ensure that its most important asset, its employees, are treated fairly:
(i) there should be no discrimination on account of race, colour, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender, age, disability, nationality or marital or part-time status;
(ii) the company will appoint, train, develop, reward and promote on the basis of merit and ability;
(iii) all employees have personal responsibility for the practical application of the company's Equal Opportunities policy, which extends to the treatment of job applicants, employees, clients and visitors;
(iv) special responsibility for the practicable application of the company's Equal Opportunities policy falls upon Directors and those involved in the recruitment, selection, promotion and training of employees;
(c) The company's Grievance Procedure is available to any employee who believes that he or she may have been unfairly discriminated against. Employees will not be victimised in any way for making such a complaint in good faith. Complaints of this nature will be dealt with seriously, in confidence and as soon as possible;

We have a full policy outlining more around this if needed.
