About People Portal
People Portal is the brainchild of Shropshire Chamber of Commerce and is a truly innovative solution for both those seeking employment, and for companies looking to fill essential roles. Through our strong partnerships with businesses across the county, we have identified that many find it challenging recruiting the right people with the right skills, in a swift and efficient manner. And, with studies suggesting it costs around £4,500 if a business employs the wrong candidate and subsequently needs to re-recruit, it is absolutely essential the process is correct first time around.
People Portal is a collaboration between Shropshire Chamber of Commerce and Job Centre Plus, and aims to provide an efficient recruitment service for employers and candidates alike, saving both time and money. Many candidates are facing the challenge of not being able to accurately convey and reflect their wealth of skills and abilities through the conventional process of a standard CV, and as a result are failing to secure roles that they could be just right for.
People Portal is essentially a streamlined recruitment process, where candidates can upload their ‘virtual’ CVs and employers can immediately decide whether or not they feel they are suitable for interview – saving valuable time and money for both parties. Many employers decide within minutes of meeting a candidate whether or not they are right for the role, and People Portal provides a convenient, fast track system to ensure they get it right first time.
