The Gateway to Intelligent Recruitment

The Recruitment Gateway is a new website portal, which offers intelligent matching between IT candidates and recruiting managers. It is a concept which does more than simply host CVs – it provides a virtual recruitment consultant, allowing candidates to interact closer with recruiting managers and for positions to be better filled.

Beaver Design was contacted early on by Recruitment Gateway and worked closely with them to design the system which would manage the website.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Candidates provide a breakdown of their key qualities and skills when they register. These details then create their ‘Recruitment Gateway Passport’, which then matches them to job positions. The job positions are created by the recruiting managers and using a series of intelligent algorithms, the candidates are ranked and matched.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

For the candidates, once they’ve set up their Recruitment Gateway Passport, it is a one-click process to apply for jobs.

For the recruitment managers, it gives them a handful of suitable applicants rather than having to sort through hundreds of applicants from other sites. It also uses the intelligent matching to show how suitable a candidate is, based on their skills and the required skills of the position.

“For Recruitment Gateway, we needed not only good designs, but a company who had the technical knowledge to build the intelligent matching required for our web business. We’re happy to say the Beaver team delivered a fantastic site, fully meeting our requirements. It’s working very well and we’re looking forward to the future.” - Recruitment Gateway

From the original idea, to the finished site, Beaver Design worked closely with Recruitment Gateway to deliver something unique, functional and most of all, useful. The website is clean and simple, providing a new valuable resource for job seekers and recruitment managers.

2010 is yours (for floors)

2010 is here and the new website for flooring company Yours4Floors has gone live! This brand new e-commerce site, designed and developed by Beaver Design, has given the North London based flooring business a strong online presence to sell their products and reach more customers.

All of Yours4Floors’ products can be ordered online through the site and paid for directly through PayPal. The site uses a clear menu structure to help visitors quickly find what they are looking for and even calculates how much flooring is required, based on the total floor area – so it’s easy for customers to find out how many packs are needed.

As always with new business ventures, a cost effective site was key for Yours4Floors. With this in mind, we created a simple content management system which allows Yours4Floors to add, edit and remove products to the site. This simple system means that the site will stay up-to-date and relevant over the coming months.

A high-end, stylish site for Foila

Beaver Design has completed a new website for Foila – the advanced hair foil preparation system. Foila helps improve productivity and efficiency in professional hair salons with the Folia Dispenser and Refoil products.

Foila asked us to create them a site which looked and functioned like other high-end, fashion led websites. Like the Foila product itself, we designed a website which is a stylish reflection of their brand. Simple and contemporary designs were put together, along with some modern web features.

Working with the production team from Media 14, Beaver Design also integrated a demonstration of Foila into the website – demonstrating some of its cost saving benefits for salons in a short video.

Form as well as function

The website is created using the latest web design techniques, featuring an online shop, a savings calculator and search engine optimisation. The site also features a content management system, which allows Foila to amend and update the pages as they need to.

With a new, stylish and well designed web presence, Foila has a strong position to help reach their customers and promote their hair salon products.

Design, print and website for Tudor

Tudor Facilities Management came to Beaver Design in mid April and asked us to design them a new brand identity. This included a new logo, styling and printed brochures, with a deadline of June 1st. This included sourcing all the images to be used in the brochure. Beaver Design delivered the printed materials and new brand identity to Tudor two days ahead of schedule.

With a solid brand identity, Tudor Facilities Management then approached Beaver Design again to design their new website.

Using the brand we’d created for Tudor and the styles and imagery which was also used in their brochures, we designed and developed a new web presence. The site is clean and stylish, with information about the services Tudor offer, as well as details of how to contact them.

With a strong brand, quality printed material and a solid web presence, Tudor Facilities Management are off to a great start with the new business.

Back the Boys

Beaver Design has recently finished the website for “Back the Boys”, the official PA team for Reading FC at Madejski Stadium responsible for all matchday music, announcements and video screen requests.

The new website features a screen requests page, which gives visitors the opportunity to post personal messages to show on the screen at the stadium. So if people want to see a birthday message, anniversary announcement, etc. – they can simply fill in the online request and see it next match they go to.

The site also features a blog and gallery for supporter news and pictures, as well as occasional polls on stadium events. A simple design with some easy to use features has given Back the Boys a web presence for supporters and visitors to the stadium.
