Recruitment

Background

The client wanted to have various email accounts monitored for new mail by multiple people in the office. They did not have Exchange Server and so were looking for a simple POP3 solution that would enable them to see which emails have been already been addressed by someone in the office.

Solution

I created a system that would check all the email addresses and automatically add the email details to their database. It stores the message in one of two ways:

• If the email matches one on file then the message and it's attachments are associated with the correct person's file
• or if it doesn't match, the details are stored with a "New Prospect" entity, to be dealt with by their staff.

The system runs as a service on their server and logs all actions it performs. It integrates seamlessly with their existing recruitment database and saves time lost to duplication and manual filing of email, their primary method of communication.
