Better candidate document collection
Better candidate document collection
Candidate experience starts at screening
Ontario recruiters invest in job marketing, client relationships, and sourcing networks. Candidates also judge the agency by administrative moments — especially document collection.
When screening requests arrive as a confusing series of emails, candidates stress. When a single checklist explains exactly what is needed and what is still outstanding, candidates feel guided.
The hidden brand problem
Your website and LinkedIn presence matter. So does what happens after a candidate says they are interested.
If the process is scattered across email, text, and ad-hoc upload links, candidates carry too much of the process themselves. They may send duplicates. They may miss consent timing questions. They may drop out of a strong opportunity because the admin feels chaotic.
Reusable checklists for every placement type
Build once, reuse per placement:
- Light industrial temp screening
- Office admin permanent placement
- Healthcare support roles with vulnerable-sector checks
- Client-specific compliance packets
Attach the checklist to the candidate record. Share via the my-id.ca portal. Track completion before client submission.
Trust and security
Candidate screening involves PII — ID, work permits, consent forms. hivi-x uses Canadian hosting, AES-256-GCM encryption at rest, TLS in transit, and self-hosted AI that does not send candidate data to third-party AI providers.
