Once you have run through all your selection procedures and wish to add a member of staff to your “staff bank” for shifts, you simply find their record and

  • press “Promote to staff”

or

  • set the JAS (Job Application Status) to a hired value as determined by your company.

then the person becomes “Staff”.

They may never actually work for you or get paid at this stage but they will have access to the Staff Portal and they can be booked for shifts and events and be able to add and update certain details in their own staff records.

At a point in your staff acquisition and selection process, you will make a decision to offer them employment and eventually hire them. We call this process “Promote to staff”. In some AXLR8 ATS systems with a high vetting requirement, the link may also be called “Invite to Interview” or similar in companies in a regulated industry with high vetting standards. Examples include security staffin, the care sector and airports.

Category: Application Forms

The act of publishing an Application Form is straightforward, just save the application form and select the ‘Publish’ Button. Once the application form is published, you can use the ATS to automatically publish the form to your chosen media sites, or manually post the links yourself. However, there are some points to consider before publishing your appform.

1 – Does your application from have a unique tag? It is vital that each application form you create on your system has a unique tag. Without each individual form having its own tag, you will most certainly experience errors as the system will not know which form the applicant is completing.

2 – Has the form been thoroughly tested by the team? At AXLR8 we recommend that before an application form is published, a minimum of three people have put it through a rigorous testing procedure. To watch out for are;

  • Are multi-row questions set up correctly?
  • Do the answers to conditional question lead to the correct set of questions?
  • Are there any grammatical errors?

3 – Which link to share on your website? At the bottom of the overview page, you’ll see two ‘Click Here’ options. The first one contains a Registration and Login Page, which will allow applicants to create a new applicant login to the system. The second link only allows applicants to continue from a previous Application. This means that they would have had to complete a stage one application form to complete the new form that you’re publishing.

Once all these steps have been completed, you will be ready to publish your new AXLR8 application form!

AXLR8 provides many options for this. You can continue to update staff details when required.

The main tools which may be used, in combination or alone, are:

  • AFB (AXLR8’s Application Form Builder)
  • AXLR8 Vetting Module (which is for managing your BS7858 compliance) and
  • the AXLR8 Staff app (also available as a web portal).

Following selection, you may send staff to a secondary form built using AFB . This may ask for details for payroll and the completion of the form may be set up for the applicant a condition of employment. It is sometimes called the “Job Offer Acceptance” form and may contain the job contract and one or more acceptance confirmations. It may contain requests for bank details and other information you fee inappropriate at an earlier stage in the candidate journey.
In regulated industries such as Care sector, Security, Air side staffing, your Vetting procedures may also be carrying on for a period using a standard such as BS7858.

If some details were not collected during the selection process, the staff member may also add them through the app or staff portal. These details may include payroll details, bank account details, date of birth, rights to work information. It may be that your business needs to see originals of documents as part of your process and, in that case, the HR team can upload scans/pictures of them and sign them off online.

Category: Application Forms

When creating an Application Form for the first time, it’s important to know which type of question you should use for each question. In AXLR8 Application Form Builder there are 5 types of question that you’re able to ask; Lookup, Field, File, Multi-Row and Other, depending on the data you are requesting in the applicant’s answer. Definitions of each question type are listed below.

Lookup – a lookup is a field that is personal to your business. You can create new lookups at any point by heading over to Lookup Admin.

Field – a field question is requesting data that comes as standard in every Staffing system. This will be common personal data on the staff member. Examples of Fields are; Mobile number, Address details, Title.

File – any file you would like to ask a staff member to upload i.e. image/file/document. The file type will need to be defined in order for the data to be stored in the correct place. Examples of file types include; Staff Image (this would be used for a headshot/thumbnail) , Staff Document (this could be a copy of their passport) and Proof of Address (essential for vetting).

Multi-row – a multi-row is a type of question requesting applicants to upload multiple groups of data. This may be: Next of Kin, Address History or Employment History. With multi-rows, as well as other types of Fields, you are able to set a minimum requirement. For example, you may specifically require 5 years of Employment and Address History or you require two Emergency contacts (Next of Kin). To set a required amount, you need to click on the cog which is displayed once you have inserted the question.

Other – In this section, only custom question types that have been developed for your business are displayed. These tend to contain custom formatting that can be created for you. If you would like to learn more about custom formatting, please contact your Account manager.

Once you have run through all your selection procedures and wish to add a member of staff to your “staff bank” for shifts, you simply find their record and

  • press “Promote to staff”

or

  • set the JAS (Job Application Status) to a hired value as determined by your company.

then the person becomes “Staff”.

They may never actually work for you or get paid at this stage but they will have access to the Staff Portal and they can be booked for shifts and events and be able to add and update certain details in their own staff records.

At a point in your staff acquisition and selection process, you will make a decision to offer them employment and eventually hire them. We call this process “Promote to staff”. In some AXLR8 ATS systems with a high vetting requirement, the link may also be called “Invite to Interview” or similar in companies in a regulated industry with high vetting standards. Examples include security staffin, the care sector and airports.

What happens when I promote somone to staff?

Their employee record is set up and they get their welcome, offer letter explaining any further information required for acceptance/payroll and vetting processes as well as access to the AXLR8 Staff app.

Collecting further details post-hiring

Some employers may decide to collect certain information of a private nature after the decision to hire.

AXLR8 provides many options for this and any continual staff details updates required. The main tools are:

  • AFB (AXLR8’s Application Form Builder)
  • AXLR8 Vetting Module (which is for managing your BS7858 compliance) and
  • the AXLR8 Staff app (also available as a web portal)

Further details on collecting data following job offer or hired stage


AXLR8 provides many options for this. You can continue to update staff details when required.

The main tools which may be used, in combination or alone, are:

  • AFB (AXLR8’s Application Form Builder)
  • AXLR8 Vetting Module (which is for managing your BS7858 compliance) and
  • the AXLR8 Staff app (also available as a web portal).

Following selection, you may send staff to a secondary form built using AFB . This may ask for details for payroll and the completion of the form may be set up for the applicant a condition of employment. It is sometimes called the “Job Offer Acceptance” form and may contain the job contract and one or more acceptance confirmations. It may contain requests for bank details and other information you fee inappropriate at an earlier stage in the candidate journey.
In regulated industries such as Care sector, Security, Air side staffing, your Vetting procedures may also be carrying on for a period using a standard such as BS7858.

If some details were not collected during the selection process, the staff member may also add them through the app or staff portal. These details may include payroll details, bank account details, date of birth, rights to work information. It may be that your business needs to see originals of documents as part of your process and, in that case, the HR team can upload scans/pictures of them and sign them off online.
