The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable.

By Australian standards, it is a pretty good system. If I were to benchmark it against solutions like JobAdder and other available off-the-shelf products, PageUp is very good in comparison.

Candidate management: It’s a one-stop shop from the application stage, right through to offer and onboarding, learning and performance management.

Most valuable features:

• Integration of all HR-related systems and processes (primary benefit)
• Interfaces with our payroll system so employee records are automatically created once they are in our payroll system (this was a custom development)
• A learning management system that is fully accessible to all employees (allowing ownership of their own learning) and is linked to their performance plans
• A recruitment system which manages large volumes of candidates and is linked to major job boards and vacancies websites making advertising of vacancies much easier.

I used the solution for bulk recruitment activities, so I personally really liked the ability to set up events, email large groups of candidates, and search based on application question responses. It allowed me to find information quickly with thousands of candidates, or set up assessment centres and send one email instead of hundreds.

The recruitment campaign I dealt with could have up to 3000 applicants at one time. The process had a number of steps, and often you’d need to move hundreds of applicants from one status to another and send invitation emails with instructions on the next step in the process. I liked that I could easily search for and select the large numbers of candidates I needed to contact and then send one email to all of them seamlessly. We also had some processes set up as “events” in the PageUp system; this is referring to the Physical Aptitude Tests and Assessment Centre days. I could easily set those up as events in PageUp and then invite the candidates to select their time slot. I loved that function. It made it SO much easier to work out the logistics of those days, and allowing candidates to book their own time slot was a lifesaver as it would have been a nightmare trying to do it for them.

• Recruitment/onboarding modules
• Ease of use
• Configurability

It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user.

Another valuable feature is the online PageUp guy to whom we can always ask in regards to configuration matters.

A positive aspect of the system is that we are able to configure it to meet our needs. However, this is limited by the constraints of the system. That is, we cannot configure it to meet our requirements completely.

Most of features in PageUp are very useful. I prefer how there is assistance through the PageUp chat section and how I get a reply straightaway, which is very important and effective. Everyone at PageUp is helpful.

The automated letter generation is a great factor in this product.

This product is user-friendly and great for reporting purposes.

We use it for reporting in terms of planning the workforce and also for knowing where I am with my candidates at a glance.
