First Choice Software and Broadbean prove commitment to user effectiveness in new candidate management integration

After several months of development, First Choice Software recently released its latest RDB ProNet integration with Broadbean, focusing on candidate response aggregation to manage multi-posted jobs with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

Broadbean, the leading multiposting and aggregated CV search provider, now automatically processes all the responses to job postings to make it easy for consultants to view, rank and respond to candidates quickly. The aggregated responses can be synchronised in bulk or added individually to candidate data in RDB ProNet.

When integrating Broadbean candidate management into RDB ProNet, First Choice looked beyond what has been achieved by other recruitment software suppliers with a view to delivering full advantage to consultants.

RDB ProNet’s integration is credited with delivering speed and control. Shaun Weise, Broadbean Business Development Manager, characterises the result as “deep integration with close attention to functionality that eases the recruiter’s workflow. For example, a unique aspect of this particular integration is the way RDB ProNet handles de-duplication.” Reliable de-duplication becomes an even more valuable asset in times of high unemployment when candidates apply for multiple roles.

The RDB ProNet Broadbean integration removes the risk of candidate responses going astray in someone’s Outlook, speeds interpretation of results and candidate placement, with a potent side benefit that is a better maintained database.

Stuart Bentley, Operations Manager for Frontier Resources, says "the new Broadbean integration is an excellent time saver. A quick analysis of recruitment traffic in the short time since implementation shows 348 candidates successfully processed to the correct place in RDB ProNet with ZERO admin time. A simple calculation of processing time at the administrator's hourly rate should make this a "no brainer" investment for all professional recruitment companies.  We have been able to use this efficiency gain to up-skill our administrators so they can undertake more meaningful and valuable tasks to support the business.”

This integration extends RDB ProNet’s core functionality which allows consultants to work all in one screen with no need to open other applications or multiple folders. Job response results are revealed as easily as “retrieve candidates”.

Source-tracked inbound capability allows recruiters to measure the effectiveness of their advertising and plan usage and budgets for best results.

First Choice and Broadbean have a history of collaboration and share views on many aspects of the future of recruitment. They have invested development time to achieve the highest levels of integration and are committed to serving their mutual clients for whom there are plans to run a user group jointly.
