Frequently Asked Questions

Worried about fitting a Milkround OA solution into your existing recruitment systems? Here are some of the most frequent questions posed to us by recruiters, and our responses...  

We have more than one graduate scheme available at our company. How could Milkround accommodate us?

Milkround Tools FAQ
Our systems can be configured to direct candidates to different sets of questions (for different schemes) from the same form and vacancy. For example, if you have four training scheme options from one graduate vacancy, we can design one candidate form that asks candidates to specify which scheme they wish to apply for. The system will then redirect the candidate to the appropriate set of questions for the scheme they choose, and you will easily be able to distinguish candidate applications for different schemes in your recruiter management database.
 

But I want the candidates to think they are applying through us, not via Milkround.

Milkround Tools FAQ
Our products are fully customisable to fit the corporate branding on your recruitment website (or otherwise). The transition from your website/ vacancy advert to our hosted application form will be a smooth and seamless experience for candidates: they need never know they have left your site.
 

But we like to accept traditional CV and cover letters!

Milkround Tools FAQ
No problem. Our online solutions are tailored to your requirements, and we can incorporate CV and cover letter upload functions. Our CV and cover letter upload tools ensure that candidates can attach the relevant documents in seconds.
 

Why do I need your pre-screening tools when I can specify my requirements in the job specs?

Milkround Tools FAQ
Many Milkround clients find that applicants don’t read job specs properly or tend to apply even if they don’t meet the necessary criteria. The pre-screening tools stop them from applying in the first place by asking the key questions at the beginning of the application, and eliminating those that aren’t eligible from the process.
 

Why should I use Milkround to host my online testing?

Milkround Tools FAQ
We have hosted integrated online testing for some of the biggest graduate recruiters in the country for the past 6 years, handling over 6000 applications. Our comprehensive ATS system collects and analyses thousands of individual scores and we can customise scoring pages according to your company needs. We are renowned for our level of personalised customer support too – we are prepared to go the extra mile to assist you.
 

We would want to collect details from prospective candidates across all online platforms - not simply from Milkround users.

Milkround Tools FAQ
We are able to configure our solutions to accept CVs and supplementary details via your corporate website or any other online platform you wish. We simply provide a link to the candidate interface. You need not build your talent pot of potential employees solely from the Milkround site.
 

We already monitor the diversity of our applicants, why would we need to use Milkround Equality Monitoring?

Milkround Tools FAQ
One of the things our graduate survey revealed was that prospective jobseekers are mistrustful of the anonymity and confidentiality of Equal Opportunities Monitoring questions incorporated into company application forms.
Milkround’s Equality Monitoring tool benefits from being entirely objective and separate from your existing recruitment process, which encourages candidates to submit private or sensitive information in the knowledge that it will not be used to bias their application to your company in any way. What’s more, explicitly inviting candidates to complete Equal Opportunities Monitoring questionnaires via an external organisation encourages a better response than incorporating EOM into your existing application form, as it sets EOM up as a unique stage in your recruitment process and if candidates are keen on your company, it is unlikely that they would be unwilling to complete it.
In addition, the price of this system includes our unique recruiter management system and reporting tools, and as much support and/or specialist advice as you may need regarding any aspect of equal opportunities monitoring. For a flat rate, we believe that this is an unbeatable offer that will save you time and resources developing your own EOM system in-house; or as part of your existing form.
 

We don’t have the budget to afford your OA products on top of our advertising package.

Milkround Tools FAQ
We can negotiate a deal with you that fits within your budget. Our products are among the best value in the industry and we are prepared to be flexible.
 

We don’t have the time to use complicated online systems during our recruitment process, and we’re wary of introducing new technology, having always used traditional and reliable paper methods.

Milkround Tools FAQ

How can I be sure my data will be secure with Milkround systems?

 
Milkround Tools FAQ
Each user that you authorize to use your Milkround system receives a secure and personalized login and password, ensuring that only they can access the information stored in your Milkround database. You can even customise the levels of access granted to each user of the system, ensuring that the level of security you need is maintained for each member of your recruitment team. Candidates are obliged to register to be issued with an individual log in when they begin to sue our systems. This ensures that all data the candidate submits is kept confidential from third-party sites. Applicants are also informed of this before starting their application.
