What PODS Is

From the get-go, PODS is a platform that allows organisations to replace their current recruitment capability with a new environment. It is a compelling and cost-effective alternative to creating and equipping an expensive internal talent acquisition team reliant on inconsistent agencies to source candidates. With this in mind, PODS offers relief to HR and talent management departments, allowing them to concentrate on other, more important tasks at hand. 

PODS is built with the capability to offer the user a scalable (up or down) plug-and-play Talent Acquisition option, making it malleable to your specific recruiting needs. This forms part of its core. PODS is built and designed to improve the experience of every participant, whether it be the awardee or the applicant. 

Completely self-sufficient, PODS does not need to be included or integrated into an existing technology-based ecosystem.

 It has been designed to reduce the unconscious bias that sits within the assessment stage and to positively support inclusive hiring practices. PODS is a compelling alternative to an internal Talent Acquisition team that can also be used to supplement an internal team for high-volume roles/projects. It has been process-optimised to streamline highly administrative activities such as capability assessments and interview scheduling.
