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.

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.

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

Fighting climate change
Jobtrain is committed to providing a quality product and service in a manner that ensures minimises our impact on the environment.
- Integrate the consideration of environmental concerns and impacts into
all our decision making and activities
- Promote environmental awareness among our employees and
encourage them to work in an environmentally responsible manner
- Train, educate and inform our employees
- 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
- Purchase and use environmentally responsible products accordingly
- Where required by legislation or where significant health, safety or
environmental hazards exist, develop and maintain appropriate
emergency and spill response programmes
In a practical sense we:-
- 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 Equal Opportunities policy if needed.
