iRecruit’s Two-Factor Authentication
In an ongoing effort to improve security within the iRecruit platform we added an email-based Two-Factor Authentication on September 1st, 2022. This update will affect all users.
Adding an Employee Only Job Board to iRecruit
iRecruit has several configuration options to meet your unique business needs as an employer. One of the most popular options we are asked about is the addition of an Internal Job Board which can be used exclusively for current employees who are looking to change roles within your organization.
Getting Started with iConnect: Making the Switch from Paper to Online Forms Is Easier Than You Think!
iConnect is iRecruit’s electronic onboarding module, which is available as an add on to the Applicant Tracking Software. iConnect allows you to take control of the mountain of new hire paperwork and manage it online in your secure iRecruit database.
The Benefits of Using Texting to Reach Out to Candidates
Texting is opt-in from the applicant’s perspective, so they are more likely to open and respond to your texts over email and voicemails. Candidates can typically respond to texts much faster to you. Most people have their phones nearby, so are more likely to quickly respond. iRecruit TXT is easy to use, and keeps a record of the conversation for you.
WOTC Tax Credit Calculator – How to Estimate Your Potential Tax Credits
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit Calculator on our CMSWOTC.com website is designed to help you estimate the potential value of tax credit savings.
