As of the summer of 2020 the University of Twente will use Talentsoft as a system for all the recruitment processes. At the moment a project group is creating and setting up this new system.
Why a new system?
The current system for recruitment processes (PeopleXS) is outdated. The system is no longer updated by the supplier. Therefore it was necessary that the UT needed to replace the old system. Based on a thorough public tender process, involving all kinds of end users, Talentsoft was selected as the best option. Additionally, PeopleXS didn’t offer any possibilities to align with the new Shaping2030 strategy of the UT. Talentsoft enables the UT to also implement the Shaping2030 strategy in the recruitment and selection processes and thus contribute to becoming the ultimate People-first University of Technology.
Why Talensoft?
Talentsoft is a so called best of breed system, which is specifically designed to fully support all recruitment processes. For example; Talentsoft gives us the option to work with specific selection questions per vacancy, or has the option for a document reader to better facilitate the work of committee members. These benefits will aid the UT to simplify the processes regarding recruitment and make them more efficient, increase the quality of candidates and shorten the processing time for candidates. It’s a win, win, win situation.
