IFAS: Applicant Online

Applicant Online is a Web-based human resources tool enabling job applicants to search, review, and apply for available openings via the Internet. Its features include powerful “back-office” components for processing applicant information without redundant data entry, as well as a variety of baseline Web pages for applicant data entry of educational background, skills, licensure, work experience, and references. In addition, Applicant Online supports the creation of custom data entry pages unique to site-specific needs and is fully integrated with the IFAS Human Resources module, thereby enabling real-time Internet postings as job openings become available. In tandem, Applicant Online and the IFAS Human Resource module streamline the entire hiring process, reduce data entry, and assure maximum recruiting exposure at your Web site.
