the client

Heat Recruitment is a UK based accountancy, legal and general insurance recruitment agency. Their online presence is for employers and candidates, as well as temps who work through the Heat Recruitment agency.

the objective

The goal was to create a simple, functional and easy to use website, which had an elegant design. Heat wanted sections for employers to post new vacancies and for candidates to easily view new positions. Heat needed an online system to manage temp staff timesheets, for both the staff and their employers. The website needed to be updateable and intuitive for Heat Recruitment, the employers and the candidates.

the solution

Beaver created login sections for employers and candidates which keep details of their profile securely online. With an online profile, searches are much easier and candidates CVs are on-hand to be sent for a prospective position.

iTemps was created by Beaver Design for temp staff to fill in their timesheets online, which their employers can then validate. RSS feeds and innovative search functions for the vacancies were designed, along with a simple ‘drag-and-drop’ feature, making the whole site have a much more intuitive and usable feel.

the result

Heat now has a website which is very easy to use. Their clients and job candidates are able to upload and search positions online, so much of Heat’s administrative work is automated. The Heat Recruitment website was a finalist for the National Online Recruitment Agency Awards 2008, which looks for functionality and usability for the website users.
