Providing a temporary workforce for internal roles


Your university is a large, diverse organisation and there is likely to be a need for regular and reliable part time and temporary staff within the various departments, faculties and businesses. If this is putting pressure on your HR team, resulting in inconsistent recruitment practices and costing a small fortune in recruitment costs, then setting up an agency for internal roles for students and external candidates could be the answer.

Providing your students with valuable work experience, meeting internal needs and reducing costs are stellar arguments for gaining senior management buy in and taking the first step in expanding your careers services.

Providing a temporary workforce for internal roles

Engaging with your hiring managers

Are hiring managers currently following a set process for recruitment or is your recruitment inconsistent? Do they understand the advantages of centralising recruitment as well as giving your students valuable work experience in a safe environment?

Working with your HR team

Is your HR team crying out for help or would they resist you intruding on their ‘turf’? Can you work with their current processes to ensure a consistent and seamless service?

Integrating with existing systems

Can you provide a seamless service that follows your current internal processes and integrates with your HR team's current systems? Or does processing wages take up too much of your valuable time?

Managing issues out of hours

Can you ensure an excellent level of service to your hiring managers, even for roles taking place out of office hours?

Can you schedule reminders to student workers on the day of their placement to ensure they turn up to the right place?

How Eploy helps WorkLink at The University of Birmingham

We were able to configure the online timesheet authorisation portal to enable students to enter information for approval by a multi-layered internal process, and programming the system to automatically send email alerts to notify recruiting managers of outstanding timesheets and generate custom reports.
