Students applying to colleges and universities these days are extremely web-literate and expect a hassle-free online applciation process. For institutions looking to attract significant numbers of overseas applicants, the provision of online applications is now a neccessity, not an option. We specialise in developing easy-to-navigate, multi-page application forms, which can be completed in one or several sessions.

The systems Horisk develop aren't just designed with the student in mind. They also aid the evaluation and offer process, by routing applications to the relevant course leader and allowing them to view the application form and make offers online. Central administrators can have an overview of the whole process and produce institution-wide performance reports.

Our systems are designed to interact seamlessly with institutions existing student databases and systems.

For more information, see our Online Applications Case Study on ApplyOnline/ReviewOnline at the Robert Gordon University.

The administration of the recruitment process can be very time consuming for any business, and the bigger you are, the more labour intensive it can become.

Horisk develop systems to allow decision makers in any department to easily create job adverts to display on your own and external websites, with full HR monitoring of the process.

For example candidates can apply online using a bespoke multi-page application form, and the shortlisting panel have instant online access to their application. Applications can be evaluated against your defined criteria online, then selected for interview, or have regret emails instantly dispatched.

A scheduler allows you to define interview days, with each interviewee and member of the panel receiving a personalised itinerary.

Once you have selected the right candidate, the system can be extended to create their contract and start the induction process.

See our e-Recruitment Case Study on RecruitOnline at the Robert Gordon University for more details.

Horisk have built a number of bespoke e-commerce websites for companies looking to trade online.

We don't just offer a standard 'shopping basket' approach – we configure the order process to suit your requirements.

We provide back-end content management systems to allow you to keep your site fresh and up-to-date, configure product availability and view sales reports.

MyGhillie.com, which allows anglers to book online for a number of different fisheries, had to allow for multiple booking models.

As well as our online work, Horisk have many years of experience in building offline database solutions.

A good database solution is not just a place to store data - it can streamline your business processes by automating your standard correspondence, avoiding repetition and generating valuable management information.

Each of our projects is custom-built to your requirements.

See our publishing production case study on Fenix Media Ltd to see how we developed a bespoke publishing system which handled everything from customer orders and invoicing to magazine content editing and even automation of magazine flatplanning and layout.

We also have a field marketing case study on a system developed for Face to recruit, manage and calculate pay for a large number of casual staff working at many concurrent events.

Horisk use a number of designers to develop eye-catching sites for companies who don't need fully-featured interactive websites.

No matter how simple your requirements, we can design an effective site, and apply our search-engine knowledge to ensure you get noticed.
