How to Run Hiring From a Shared Plant or Site Computer

If you run hiring from one shared computer at a site, choose cloud-based, mobile-friendly software so the work is not trapped on that machine, and lean on SMS and mobile applications so candidates apply from their own phones rather than needing your terminal.

The real-world constraint

Many site managers do not have a personal work computer; they share one terminal in a back office. Software that assumes everyone has their own logged-in device does not fit.

Go cloud and mobile

Cloud-based tools let the manager pick up hiring from any device, including a phone, so work is not stuck on the shared machine. This also means candidates apply from their phones, not your terminal.

Keep it simple to hand off

On a shared computer, multiple people may touch hiring. Clear stages and notes prevent duplicated or dropped work.

Automate what the manager cannot babysit

A site manager cannot sit at the terminal all day. Automated screening and SMS follow-up keep hiring moving between their rounds. EasySource runs outreach and screening without a manager tied to a screen.

A real-world example

A facilities manager who could only access hiring from a shared back-office PC moved to a mobile-friendly platform and started approving candidates from his phone between site rounds, cutting days off every hire.
