I recently got sent a message by the implementation team at Network Rail (the organization who run all of the railway infrastructure in the UK) to say that they have just completed implementing iRecruitment with a Network Rail specific skin. You can access their site at http://www.networkrail.co.uk/, and then drill down through the Careers link if you want to have a look.
They have changed the banners and navigation at the top and bottom of the screen to match the rest of their site, and changed the fonts and colour schemes to match the rest of the site. It looks almost seamless to me, and I think that they have done a great job. Well done guys, and thanks for letting me know about it.
Has anyone else used skins to change the appearance of their site? It would be great to see some more examples.

Not using skins obviouslu, but using bespoke web front end with BPEL interface to irec. Looks smart.

I'm looking at implementing skins at a client and have been investigating this.
Tektronix is another good one, they've done a lot of work and also looks seamless

Hi Martin
I was wondering what your opinion is of incorporating social bookmarking site links into pages such as external site visitor within irecruitment? would you have a preferred technique of achieving this?
all the best

Do you mean things like the iRec home page having a link to the home page of facebook, or are you talking about something more challenging. Adding simple links is really easy. You just decide where you want to add it, and use personalizations to add a new item which is a URL. That will appear wherever you wanted it, and the user can click on it to go off to the other web site. We put at least one example on there for people to copy (a link to www.oracle.com which opens a new window).

Pretty much all of the candidate facing element of irec implementations are poor for the user; why is that?
O2 got a very low result in the Top 100 Retail Careers Site awards since they now have irec www.hirestrategies.co.uk/top100.
I have had discussions with another irec client who are also struggling somewhat!

Do you need to be on release 12 to use skins in i-rec?
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
no you don't need to be on R12. The examples here were done on 11.5.10.

Just wondering the average consulting cost/timeframe for an i*recruitment implementation?
Any ballpark figures would be appreciated.

Iain,
I'm free for the next couple of weekends - make me an offer ;-).
Seriously though, there is no "average" time for an implementation. There are some consulting firms out there who have an out of the box setup ready to go which can be great value if it meets your needs. Alternatively, at the other end of the spectrum, some customers to want any new system to behave exactly like their existing system to cut down on re-training costs, and that kind of implementation inevitably costs more and takes longer.
