THE SYSTEM

The Apply4Law system captures candidates’ applications as data rather than unwieldy text: this allows you to search information quickly and easily, and to report on it in a sophisticated but straightforward way.

Apply4Law is the only online graduate application system built specifically for UK law firms and leads the market in this field, working with over 55 firms. Each Apply4Law client has a bespoke interactive online application form connected to their website, that is designed to maintain the look and feel of their firm's brand. The system can cater for multi-site recruitment, vacation schemes, open days and training contracts.

Application Form

The application side of the system provides a secure and seamless experience for candidates. The Apply4Law package includes:

• VeriSign encryption as standard; 
• a comprehensive Apply4Law privacy statement outlining our responsibility as processors of the data; 
• username and password entry to allow candidates to complete their application over multiple sittings; 
• an interactive homepage for each candidate, enabling them to update contact details, check emails sent through the system and provide supplementary information until the closing date; 
• an interactive online application form which can be tailored for multiple job roles, as per your requirements; 
• a navigation bar that is always onscreen to ensure ease of use; 
• comprehensive candidate support; 
• online user notes and FAQs; 
• auto-correspondence; 
• online interview scheduling (optional); 
• a 55-minute security timeout and warning system, giving candidates time to complete sections and save mid-way through an answer if necessary; 
• clear and concise instruction about what is required from the candidate; and 
• advanced save, so that every time the candidate presses the next or back button the whole application form is saved. 

Candidate Management System

The Candidate Management System also meets the highest standards of security and ease of use. The Apply4Law package includes:

• VeriSign encryption as standard; 
• secure access for as many administrators as you require; 
• an online Candidate Management System with filtering, ordering and search facilities; 
• custom folder arrangements per vacancy, which may be altered throughout the year; 
• a Candidate Watch facility, alerting you to particular applicants whom you are looking out for;

• user audit trail; 
• secure hosting, support and administration, and backup of the system;
