Yorkshire Based Web Development Case Study - Countrywide Human Resources - Job Vacancy Website

Countrywide Plc Logo

Brief

GotFocus Solutions created an online job application website solution for Countrywide Plc.

User administrators are able to add available vacancies to the system. The configuration of the vacancy entered would determine the content and sections that the applicant would need to complete.

To apply for a job the applicants register their user details on the public website. Applicants were then required to complete each section before they were allowed to submit the application. Users were able to part-complete an application and then return to it at a later time. Once all the sections were completed the applicant was given the option to submit the application.

Once submitted the system would automatically create the application in the format of a word document and email it directly to the Human Resource team for review. The application document would also be viewable to the human resource team on the website.
