Abacus e-Media e-Recruitment platform available on G-Cloud

Abacus e-Media announces that the latest version of its online recruitment solution for the public sector, Recruit, has been selected to be part of the Quick Wins trial as part of the government's G-Cloud programme.

Abacus has set up the Recruit SAAS application platform, and has partnered with BT who are providing the Cloud Infrastructure Platform.

G-Cloud will enable public sector bodies to select and host ICT services from a secure, resilient and cost-effective shared environment.  Other participants in the G-Cloud pilot are from organisations like Oracle, Accenture, Google, Microsoft, Siemens and Capgemini, and all aim to use this platform to improve public service delivery, improve access to public services and increase the efficiency of public delivery. 

Recruit provides a comprehensive online recruitment solution, from initial job specification and online advertising, through to short-listing, candidate communication, interview management, reference control, and contracts, together with talent bank and integration to HR and payroll systems if required.  

Quick Wins, as the names suggests, is designed to provide public sector bodies with access to products which can quickly realise measurable benefits.  In the case of Recruit, councils can achieve considerable savings on advertising spend, and by reducing time and effort involved in recruiting.

The Quick Wins programme will run until the end of July 2010.
