Vacancy Filler to Exhibit at the AoC HR Conference, Nottingham 4-5 March

Vacancy Filler has announced it is to exhibit at the AoC Human Resources Conference and Exhibition on 4th and 5th March. This conference will offer thought-provoking ideas and solutions to equip further education HR professionals to tackle the current issues facing the sector and its workforce.

Vacancy Filler has developed a full set of solutions specifically designed to eliminate the common pains that come with recruiting for the education sector.

These include the ability to shortlist candidates confidentially and objectively (adhering to the sector’s guidelines and procedures), enhancing your candidates’ experience through allowing them to complete an online application form on your organisation's careers page, as well as one click reporting capabilities around Equality and Diversity.

Vacancy Filler Recruitment Software not only allows FE & HE institutions to hire the right way, but it also streamlines the recruitment process by up to 70% to save you time and money. Thereafter the candidates can be seamlessly passed to your HR and Talent Management systems.

Lessons Learned from the 12th HR Directors Business Summit


The #HRevent14 was a great experience for Vacancy Filler. Unlike many trade shows, the conference was aimed at the Directors and senior HR managers looking to attend many of the presentations and workshops on current developments and practices in HR. The theme was around staff retention, development and motivation as it’s clear that many businesses realise that they are unable to deliver their business strategy without having the right people in place.

I think for us in the world of HR and Recruitment, this is fairly obvious, borne out by the success stories of the organisations presenting at the conference as the financial results speak for themselves.

It’s staggering though that many businesses still don’t get it and it’s our jobs both as suppliers to the industry and the HR and Recruitment professionals we speak with, to spread the message.

Nowadays there are not only tools available to automate the recruitment process, but in doing so can focus on the quality aspects through profiling integrated as part of the process, to ensure that the cultures are aligned and staff churn is significantly reduced. The information about our people collected during the intense period of the recruitment process, can be passed on to the in-house Talent and Performance Management systems to nurture the talent.

We are excited by the developments in the industry together with the upturn in the market. We eagerly await next year’s show.
