Before we get to all the benefits, just two quick questions that many people ask:
Is eBulk easy to learn and use ?
Yes ... clients take to it literally like "ducks to water". The system was developed with the input of many end users so it's extremely easy and intuitive to use. In case you're not sure about anything, we're on hand to help you every step of the way.
Can we still use application forms if we need to ?
Yes ... We still supply application forms, in fact many clients have both services running side by side ... all at no extra cost of course ! .... However, 90% of our existing clients now use our eBulk Service exclusively for it's pure ease of use and super fast turnaround.
Here's what you can look forward to ...
- Enhanced Disclosures sometimes received in as little as 24hrs !
- 80% of Enhanced Disclosures back to you within one week !
- 100% of Standard Disclosures back to you within one week!
- On average it's an 8 day quicker turnaround compared to paper based applications
- The reduction in your recruitment turnaround time is huge !
Validation ! .... Make no mistake, there's literally no mistakes !
- Data is validated as the applicant actually enters it.
- No scrawled hand writing to interpret here!
- Errors and "typos" are identified and corrected at the outset.
- The result is a 0.3% (one third of one percent) error rate ... No more wasted time dealing with returned forms - that's all a thing of the past !
Fast, Fast, Fast!
- Data enters the CRB system the same day its keyed in.
- Disclosures are dispatched by email the same day they're created.
Snail mail - forget it !
- Clear Disclosures (i.e. contain no criminal record) are sent to you electronically so they are not affected by mail delays, postal strikes or postage costs!
(Note: If the Disclosure is not clear (i.e. contains a criminal record), the CRB notify us electronically that a paper Disclosure is going to be produced. We notify the Manager by email immediately that they should wait for the paper copy of the Disclosure to be posted to them before making a recruitment decision).
Whether or not there is anything on the Disclosure, the applicant will receive a paper copy of the Disclosure by post from the CRB.
Accessibility
- Where there's access to the internet there's access to our system
- The applicant can fill in the application at home rather than in your office freeing up your administrators time (yet another great cost saving!)
- Improved applicant Co-operation - Employers find that applicants are far more responsive to completing online CRB applications than filling in paper forms, applicants attend to the form more quickly so everything moves along smoothly
Secure and reliable
Fully compliant with all CRB requirements. Extensively tested by APCS and the CRB for security and reliability. Applications are electronically submitted over the Criminal Justice System’s super secure network which basically means your valuable and personal data is incredibly safe.
Designed to handle 1 million Disclosures per year (that's a quarter of the total Disclosures market per annum) ... our system doesn't even break into a mild sweat when there's hundreds of users online concurrently !
Flexibility to suit your needs
If you have special requirements we'll work with you to meet your specific needs. Our systems have been designed to be extremely flexible and adaptable.
Full Support
Support and advice are all part and parcel of our service. We continue to manage your Disclosure applications from start to completion. Automatic chase ups of both eBulk and application forms are all automatically flagged and dealt with by us - that's why we're so popular !
OK ... What's the catch ? What's the costs ?
Here's the upfront cost benefits:
- Highly competitive admin fees (See eBulk Costs below for full details)
- No sign up fees
- No registration fees
- No set up fees
- No minimum orders
- No monthly or annual fees
- No hidden extras
- No big contacts or commitments (other than you signing our terms and conditions saying you'll pay us for the checks you process through our system)
So, the only thing you pay for is the checks you actually process!
