What it does
hireful provides applicant tracking software for UK hiring teams, with job publishing, candidate pipelines, interview coordination and reporting. Recruitment advice and training sit alongside software plans that add configurable workflows, approvals and onboarding tools.
Decide how hiring managers will take part in each vacancy. In the job's general details, assign the managers and choose whether they will log in to review applications or receive applicant details by email. The automatic-shortlisting option is intended for a process where recruiters do not screen candidates before managers see them.
At the publishing stage, choose the enabled website, intranet or job-board destinations. Boards need to be connected for the account, and some require extra vacancy fields. Publication links track the application source, helping the team compare which channels produced applicants. Administrators can manage departments, job types and other dropdown choices through account settings.
