The BrightPool App; a recruitment first.

BrightPool are proud to announce the launch of the BrightPool App - a bespoke application for all mobile smartphones, designed and built specifically for BrightPool candidates, clients and consultants.

The BrightPool App - or one similar to it - is available from no other recruitment company.

The BrightPool App is an essential tool for every single BrightPool candidate, allowing you to interact with our company whilst on the move. At the touch of a button you can update your personal details; from your preferred sectors and disciplines to where you are willing to work.

You can also view and comment on our consultants' blogs, read our latest news and current assignments. What makes the App so special is that you can apply for any of our current assignments from your smartphone, no matter where you are.

When on assignment through BrightPool, the Connect dashboard is added to your App account. This allows all BrightPool candidates on assignment to complete and submit time schedules from their mobile phone. It also allows you to update your progress against pre-determined assignment goals as set by the client at the start of an assignment.

How to download the BrightPool App.

The BrightPool App can be downloaded to your smart phone by visiting www.brightpool.co.uk/m in your web browser and adding the address to you home screen. For any assistance in this matter please feel free to contact Thomas Bridge, Marketing Manager on 020 7936 3011 or email tbridge@brightpool.co.uk.

How to use the BrightPool App.

Once you have successfully downloaded the BrightPool App to your smartphone, please take just a few minutes to familiarise yourself with its functions.
