She said they had decided to partner with MyPeopleBiz because they were “…really friendly on the demo, able to answer all our questions and provided a system that wasn’t over-complicated and was cost-effective for us.”
Frank Varela, CEO of MyPeopleBiz, is a long-time admirer of Peninsula and an avid reader of Peter Done’s column in The Sunday Times. He commented on how pleased he was to be working with such a well-respected company as Peninsula, saying that he was “…delighted to be now working with the Company and with Harriet’s team.” By adopting the new portal with MyPeopleBiz, Peninsula will widen the scope of applicants and ensure they maintain their reputation for attracting the very best people from the HR, Health & Safety and Legal Services industries to come and work for them. Frank added that : “Peninsula are helping businesses to flourish and we aim to do the same, they do it through the provision of value added HR advice and we do it through the enhancement of recruitment by automating the process and providing great functionality to help towards better and more cost effective hiring .”
The technology incorporated in the portal will provide better recruitment practices for a lot less money by not only extending the range of applicants, but also allowing Peninsula to build and extend their database whilst benefiting from the use of sophisticated intelligent matching technology to help match the right person to the right job.

The Children’s Trust embraces new cutting edge career portal to power recruitment
The Children’s Trust has unveiled its new career site which incorporates the latest artificial intelligence technology powered by MyPeopleBiz
The Children’s Trust is a national charity that works with children with acquired brain injury, multiple disabilities and complex health needs. It offers a wide variety of job opportunities in the essential services that they deliver. Discussing the potential careers available the Director of Human Resources, Julia Mixter, who joined the Trust in 2010 said “Our front line team is made up of specialist clinical, nursing, therapy, teaching and care staff. In addition we have a head office and support team that provides marketing, fundraising, finance, HR, IT and facilities services.” The Trust wanted candidates to experience fantastic service when applying for its jobs, and for managers to have a dynamic and streamlined system for managing applications; which is why they decided to partner with MyPeopleBiz to implement the new technology. She said: “The back office functionality we receive by being part of this recruitment platform is first class and adds real value, easily paying for itself and saving the Trust money; the business case is very easy to justify.”
Frank Varela, CEO of MyPeopleBiz added that it was great to be working with Julia and her team, particularly Leah Wilkinson and Lindsay Campbell, as “…they are so committed to making the Trust the very best it can be.” He said that the work that the Trust does for children was first class. Speaking on the MyPeopleBiz recruitment platform he commented that Julia’s team are really keen to grasp the opportunity to embrace the new technology.
The platform will not only bring more candidates to the Children’s Trust, but also help them to build and extend their database whilst providing the ability to create talent pools as well as the capacity to use sophisticated intelligent matching technology to help the firm manage its talent pipeline. This should therefore enable the trust to recruit the right candidates for less money. Frank also wanted to thank Joe Rodgers of WJP Floyd, the leading recruitment and employee communications agency for his contribution to the career site. He said, “It was a pleasure working with Joe as well.”

The Big Issue’s new recruitment portal will lead to stress free, faster, cost-effective quality hires
The Big Issue, one of the UK’s leading social businesses, has for the past twenty years offered homeless and vulnerably housed people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income.
The organisation currently supports over 2900 homeless and vulnerably housed people across the country. The magazine is read by over 670,000 people every week throughout the UK* and is also an international entity, having lent its trademark to social entrepreneurs throughout the world. A founding member of the International Network of Streetpapers which represents the interests of over 80 similar social businesses in 37 countries.
A need to automate recruitment to relieve the HR team from manual processes and CV’S clogging up the email system was identified and MyPeopleBiz was chosen as the provider because of its technology, ease of use and experience of working with other charities such as Teenage Cancer Trust, Private Equity foundation and London Music Masters.
The new portal is aimed at further enhancing the Big Issue brand, boosting candidate attraction and strengthening relationships with the Big Issue candidate supply channels.
Administrative hassle is reduced due to the management of candidate information from one place. The portal is accessible anytime and anyplace, reinforcing connectivity with key stakeholders.
Charlene Kinsella , Group HR Administrator at The Big issue said: “We are delighted with our new system; the implementation has been really easy and extremely quick”.
Frank Varela , CEO at MyPeopleBiz commented: “We are really pleased to have been given the opportunity of working with the Big Issue and in a small way to help contribute to such a good cause. The war for talent is not equal because larger employers are able to invest heavily in recruitment automation in comparison to their smaller competitors and in particular to the charity sector. This leads to an unfair advantage in talent acquisition and we are aiming to make fantastic, easy to use, affordable technology available to organisations like the Big Issue”.

Jessops the UK’s premier photographic retailer launches its new Recruitment Portal
Jessops the highly respected high street retailer with over 200 stores has partnered with recruitment platform MyPeopleBiz, to develop its new recruitment portal. The partnership is aimed at further improving the Jessops employer brand as well as improving the recruitment function and managing the overall cost.
The relationship between the two companies began back in September 2010 when MyPeopleBiz started working with Jessop’s, assisting them with their recruitment strategy and providing additional resource to HR during a recruitment drive to recruit new Store Managers.
Jessop’s attract a considerable amount of applications to vacancies advertised and needed a way to manage these effectively. To reflect these specifications MyPeopleBiz have developed a fully bespoke recruitment portal that is accessible through the Jessops corporate site and will benefit from the latest functionality including parsing technology that processes text i.e. in a candidates CV and extracts required information for easier CV search and registration.
Jessops will now be able to use their new recruitment portal to manage all their requirements from one place, attracting direct candidates, talent pooling, creating talent databases and referral schemes to tap into the growth of social media and additionally managing all their agency suppliers.
Parker Crockford at MyPeopleBiz said “Jessops has already experienced the benefits of having its own portal and the support MyPeopleBiz can provide as and when they require additional resource.” The new functionality will allow Jessops to capture thousands of candidate details currently from different places, into their own searchable talent database which will mean that they can recruit from their talent pool without incurring any additional costs.
UK charity Teenage Cancer Trust has launched a new recruitment portal powered by MyPeopleBiz to manage its entire recruitment process.

We are delighted to be working with MyPeopleBiz and greatly value their commitment to the not for profit sector.”
David McGlashan, Charity Relationship Manager at MyPeopleBiz: “We are extremely excited to be working with Teenage Cancer Trust, and hope to build a long lasting partnership with them. Bespoke recruitment portals are an excellent fit for not-for-profits, reducing the high costs typically related to recruitment and reducing the administrative burden on HR teams.”
