Tracking your vacancies
Apprenticeship vacancies, the national online recruitment system, offers employers a free recruitment tool for advertising their Apprenticeship opportunities across England.
Currently, the application process is managed by the selected training provider, who oversees the process on behalf of the employer. However, a series of enhancements to being made to the recruitment system, which will bring employers even greater benefits and give employers more reasons to use the recruitment system.
The enhancements include;
- Giving employers with current vacancies direct access to the system, allowing them to view and track their vacancies and applications
- The ability for vacancies to be displayed on other websites, with links back through to Apprenticeship vacancies, enabling the wider promotion of vacancies, raising the profile of employers and attracting a wider pool of potential successful applicants
- Large employers, training providers and partners will be able to bulk upload vacancy details directly from their systems, saving time and resources and enabling a quicker turnaround on posting vacancies
- Allowing employers who use their own recruitment sites to track successful individuals who apply from Apprenticeship vacancies, removing the need for manual intervention.
