Portman Dental Care

Speeding up workflows and achieving greater visibility

Recruit is helping Portman Dental Care’s recruitment team to manage vacancies and the associated workflow more effectively. The team have empowered 130 hiring managers to handle requisitions to support the growth of the business. And with the introduction of GDPR, the company is now able to manage data in a much more secure way than before.

“We are delighted that Recruit has helped us to speed up the workflow associated with our recruitment process and has given us greater visibility of the candidate pipeline. We acquired 30 practices in 2018 and we would have fallen over without Recruit in place to help us cope with the sheer volume of job applications we handle.” – Darren Casey, Head of Recruitment for Portman Dental Care.

Portman Dental Care has three main streams of applicants. It manages high-volume recruitment for Practice positions such as dental nurses, receptionists and practice managers, all the head office recruitment for Marketing, HR etc., as well as managing the recruitment of dentists, orthodontists and other specialist practitioners. Recruit enables the company to manage these three streams in different ways, ensuring the positions are filled quickly and effectively, with the best people.

“We are now able to provide a much more seamless recruitment experience from start to finish and interact with potential candidates from the moment they send us a CV all the way through the recruitment journey. Thanks to our system’s ability to automate parts of the recruitment process we can respond more quickly to applicants and reject people who are not suited to the roles in a more timely manner for volume recruitment campaigns.” – Darren Casey, Head of Recruitment for Portman Dental Care.

A further benefit of Recruit is its Talent Banking functionality. Even with GDPR Portman Dental Care has been able to realise significant value from its database by storing the details of potential applications for future vacancies. Dentists are always looking at advancing their careers and the Talent Banking functionality has become a valuable tool for sourcing and nurturing future talent.

Using data and analytics to drive business growth

Now that the system is up and running and Darren’s recruitment team is in place, Darren will be turning his focus to making full use of the system’s powerful analytics and reporting functionality in 2019.

“When we purchased Recruit we wanted a way to manage data and a way to report in real-time. From what I can see from the system the reporting looks very comprehensive and intuitive so I’m really looking forward to seeing how we can use the wealth of reporting information to help us plan and manage our recruitment processes even more effectively, to support the long-term growth of our business. We’re delighted with the system and with the great service Kallidus provided.” – Darren Casey, Head of Recruitment for Portman Dental Care.
