Webinar: Fast & Thorough Background Screening with Verified First

Webinar: Fast & Thorough Background Screening with Verified First

Join us on September 15th for an exciting webinar with our partner, Verified First, to explore how your organization can make recruiting and hiring decisions with ease.

 

Can I Give Applicants a “Score” or Rating in iRecruit?
Scoring and Rating Candidates

Can I Give Applicants a “Score” or Rating in iRecruit is a question we are often asked by customers. Scores can be used to evaluate and compare candidates, applications, interviews and more.

 

Work Opportunity Tax Credit Calculator

WOTC Tax Credit iRecruit

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit known as #WOTC is a federal tax credit available to employers who hire individuals from disadvantaged groups of workers that have historically faced barriers to finding employment. Including WOTC Screening with iRecruit can save an employer significant amounts of money.

 

Beefing Up the Content on Your Applicant Portal

iRecruit Applicant Portal Content

Applicants to your jobs have a choice when they apply, they can register, apply without registering, or they can log in to an existing account if they have applied previously. Within their accounts, applicants can, of course, apply, update information, or if you have iConnect, applicants or new hires can fill out additional forms for you.
