The University of Derby Student Employment Agency (SEA), which assists with finding students opportunities for temporary and part-time paid jobs while studying and during holidays, has enhanced its eploy recruitment software platform to help its burgeoning student placement process.  

The new application software will enable SEA to monitor its performance against increasingly demanding key performance indicators (KPIs) providing reporting information on metrics including the number of students registered, their faculty, the number of students employed and percentage from each faculty and the number of vacancies and employers.

Paul Burgess, managing director at eploy, says: “Universities are large communities that need powerful solutions to address the employment needs of their students and clients but often do not operate like a high street recruitment company.  To ensure an appropriate and positive user experience, we have tailored the eploy solution for the university and continue to support their needs through regular product enhancements.”
