| Parodia is an ASP (Active
Server Pages) application for recruitment web systems. It
can be used either by a portal site to run a job board for
multiple recruiters, or can be used by an HR/recruitment
agency to run their own website.
Features
Parodia consists of three basic areas.
A front-end where candidates can apply for jobs, register
their CV (résumé) and set-up search agent
profiles for use with the optional email agent.
A restricted area where recruitment consultants can post
vacancies, view CVs and carry out other activities.
A back-end where the site
owner can grant access to others and run the site from.
For recruitment portals and
classified job advertising sections, Parodia Job Board provides
good regulation of advertisers with low admin overhead.
Designed around the principal of 'slots', the number of
vacancies posted by each can be easily controlled. This,
and the system of refreshing credits for viewing CVs, means
that this control is not bought at the expense of creating
large admin requirements.
Underlying Technology
Parodia is an ASP (Active Server Pages) software system
that consists of a series of web scripts on a Windows NT/2000
server communicating with a Microsoft SQL or Access database.
Being full source code, the system can be modified as much
as required by external contractors or resident techies.
Alternatively, Cactusoft can make any customizations prior
to delivery.
Licensing and Implementation
Advantages
Because Parodia runs as a web application, licensing is
for the single installation and not per desk. Furthermore,
because it requires only a browser network connection for
each user, there is no installation, upgrading or troubleshooting
required on consultants' desktop systems. Modification,
troubleshooting and other tasks that might once have required
a site visit can now be done remotely - this vastly simplifies
implementing and supporting a system across multiple offices. |
