RDB Mobile — lightweight recruitment companion tied to Access RDB

Pete Milner

RDB Mobile provides a compact, feature-focused mobile interface for Access RDB — letting recruiters view and manage clients, applicants, jobs and placements, communicate by phone/SMS/email, and see live KPIs — but it requires the Access RDB Mobile Web Service and appears to be lightly maintained with very few App Store ratings.

This recruitment software offers a practical solution for staffing agencies seeking to optimize their operations remotely and efficiently. It necessitates the Access RDB Mobile Web Service for full functionality.

All essential features are integrated into an accessible platform, enhancing usability and efficiency:

Client and Candidate Management:
- Easily locate and review client and applicant profiles along with their geographical locations
- Perform targeted searches and apply filters to organize jobs and placements by week or month
- Create new job listings swiftly using pre-designed templates and modify existing ones as needed
- Implement auto-matching of applicants to open positions for streamlined placement
- Enjoy the assurance that all data is automatically saved, safeguarding information upon leaving the platform
Communication Enhancements:
- Initiate contact with clients and candidates rapidly via SMS, email, or phone calls
- Exchange messages seamlessly with other Access RDB users within the platform
- Distribute reports, visual data representations, grids, and gauges to team members or stakeholders
Informed Decision-Making:
- Access comprehensive applicant and client records along with current placements at a glance
- Receive live KPI and sales reports directly on mobile devices for timely insights
User-Centric Design:
- Customize the interface with various themes and font options to suit your preferences
- Select preferred result display settings for an optimized viewing experience

Pros

Targeted recruitment feature set: supports job creation from templates, auto-matching applicants to jobs, placement management, applicant availability and CV viewing—useful for staffing agencies.
Mobile access to core RDB records: view and edit client, applicant, contact, job and placement details from iPhone/iPad.
Communications: send SMS, email and phone directly from records and exchange messages with other Access RDB users.
Reporting and KPIs: delivers live KPI and sales reports, graphs and dashboard widgets to the mobile device for decision-making on the go.
Offline/form persistence: form state is preserved when leaving the app (e.g., to make calls or view maps), reducing data loss risk.
Customisation: theme and font choices and ability to set number of results returned improve user experience.
Small app footprint: the app is small (around 5–6 MB), meaning quick downloads and minimal device storage use.
Document and photo support: view stored documents and upload photos from device camera as stored documents or notebook attachments.
Search and filtering: search and filter jobs/placements by period (week/month) and run attribute-based applicant searches.
Incremental improvements/history: release notes show ongoing bug fixes and feature additions over many versions (menu, notebook, iPad interface, persistent HTTP connections, etc.).

Cons

Requires Access RDB Mobile Web Service: needs server-side web service setup/administration—additional configuration and maintenance overhead for agencies.
App appears aging and sparsely maintained: last notable iOS update notes are several years old (some fixes listed up to 2020) which may indicate limited ongoing development.
Low and minimal public feedback: App Store shows very few ratings (1 rating, 1.0), providing little evidence of user satisfaction or real-world reliability.
Potential compatibility limits: release notes reference support down to iOS 9 and fixes for older devices; unclear whether it supports modern iOS versions and newer iPhone/iPad form factors fully.
Historical bugs reported: changelog references crashes and issues (camera problems on older iPads, placement details not displaying, editor crashes) — may indicate stability risks depending on current build and environment.
Limited visibility on security and compliance: public listing and release notes do not detail encryption, authentication hardening, or data protection practices for mobile data in transit or at rest.
Enterprise-only scope and complexity: feature set assumes use of Access RDB back-end—unsuitable for organisations without that ecosystem or seeking a standalone mobile ATS.
No clear pricing or trial info on store listing: the app is listed as free but professional use likely requires server/access licensing from Access—costs not explained on store page.
Sparse modern UX polish: screenshots and notes show enterprise utility but not necessarily modern UI/UX expectations (themes/fonts only partially address look-and-feel).

FAQ

What is RDB Mobile?

RDB Mobile is a mobile companion app from Access UK Ltd that lets recruitment agencies use their Access RDB system on iPhone and iPad to manage clients, applicants, jobs and placements while away from the office.

How do I get RDB Mobile?

RDB Mobile is available from the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad. The app listing shows developer Access UK Ltd and the app is free to download.

What server-side requirements are needed to use RDB Mobile?

RDB Mobile requires the Access RDB Mobile Web Service (a server-side component) to be installed and configured on your Access RDB environment. Contact your Access administrator or Access support to install/enable the web service.

Which features does RDB Mobile provide?

Key features include viewing and searching clients/applicants, job and placement lists and details, creating and editing jobs from templates, auto-matching applicants to jobs, assigning applicants to placements, viewing notebooks and stored documents (including photos), sending SMS/email/phone calls, internal messaging between RDB users, dashboards and live KPI/sales reports, plus theme and font choices.

Can I create or edit jobs and placements from the app?

Yes. You can create new jobs using templates, edit existing jobs and placements, auto-match applicants and assign workers to placements from the app (subject to your user permissions).

Does the app work offline or save my work if I leave the app?

The app saves your current state automatically so changes are preserved when you leave the app (for example to make a phone call or view a map). However, full offline operation depends on your setup and the web service connectivity — the app expects the RDB Mobile Web Service to provide data.

What communication options are available from within the app?

You can contact clients and candidates via SMS, email or phone directly from record screens, and send/receive messages to/from other Access RDB users via the app's messaging functionality.

Which iOS versions and devices are supported?

The App Store listing indicates support for iPhone and iPad and a small download size (~5.4 MB). Historically the app was recompiled for 64-bit and deployments target older iOS versions (notes reference iOS 9 compatibility), but exact current minimum iOS version should be checked on the App Store listing and with your administrator.

Where can I get support or report issues?

Use the Access support portal (support.force.com for Access/Access Group Support) or contact your Access UK account manager. The App Store release notes list bug fixes and version history; for web-service or integration errors contact Access support.

Is data secure and are user permissions respected?

RDB Mobile connects to your Access RDB through the RDB Mobile Web Service and uses your RDB user accounts and permissions. Data access and security depend on how the web service and RDB permissions are configured by your administrator — consult your Access admin or support for security configuration details.
