As part of the Recruitment Improvement Plan the Trust has commissioned a state-of-the-art tracked recruitment system used by more than 200 trusts across the country.   During May 2017 the Recruitment and Medical HR teams will be processing all new vacancies through the Trac System.  This will  move all our recruitment activity to a web based system. 

The software  will give recruiting managers visibility to all of their vacancies, right through from authorisation for the advert, through to start date. It will allow them to keep up to date with any communication with candidates.  

Vacancies will continue to be advertised on NHS Jobs but will be managed and accessed via Trac.  Trac will send out reminders to recruitment, recruiting mangers and candidates via emails (and text messages for candidates) to keep vacancies on course and allow the Trust to appoint in the fastest time possible. 

Trac enable  electronic DBS applications to be submitted, negating  the need for paper DBS forms sent through the post.

Awareness sessions will be available during May and June for managers wanting support using Trac for the first time as well as support from Trac during the first 4 weeks.  The system also has a number of user guides and videos which are accessible at any time to allow for quick refreshers as required.
