How Does a Recruitment Software Make the Hiring Process More Efficient?

Recruiting, interviewing and hiring of talented candidates takes most of the time of the recruiters. And we all know that time is of paramount significance in the recruiting world. There are several organizations that have multiple human resource professionals dedicated specifically for recruiting. But, the problem is these recruiters do not get enough time to concentrate their efforts in selecting the right candidate. There is a need for a tool that can make the entire hiring process more efficient thereby free up the recruiter’s time. With the advancement of technology, now it is possible to use a recruiting software which can up the ante when it comes to the level of efficiency at each and every step of hiring process.

Different Ways Recruitment Software Makes the Hiring Process More Efficient

It has been researched and found out that a minimum of 70% of global employers are employing recruiting software. There are major reasons for which global employers are investing in this software. Let us take a look at some of these reasons.

1. Maintain a pre-qualified talent pool

One way to make your hiring process more organized is by employing a tracking software that assists in maintaining a pre-qualified talent pool. This talent pool will include candidates who have applied for the jobs in the past, but due to some reason they were not hired. If you archive this information and refer to it while posting a similar job opening, the time that you spent interviewing them in the past does not get wasted.

Instead of posting the job opening on an individual level on job boards let the recruitment software do it for you which would allow you to interview more candidates. This will increase the probability of selecting a candidate who had already expressed interest for the position in the past and has the requisite skill set and experience needed for the vacant position.

2. Process optimal volume of applications

With the help of recruitment software, organizations are able to process hundreds of applications received for each job posted. Most of the time, employers prefer online application submission process which allows candidates to apply for the vacant position quickly. Due to the ease of application process more applications are

received from the candidates. You can then use a recruitment software to automatically reject applications that do not meet your criteria. If you find that your recruitment software is rejecting far too low or too high percentage of applications consider customizing it as per your requirement.

3. Frees your invaluable time

The time that recruiters spend to read resumes, match the skill sets of the candidate to the job description, verify educational credentials and professional certifications, check references and conduct background verification could be better spent doing other things. All these things can be done automatically with the help of a recruitment software having a variety of databases and integrations. Instead of you doing these tasks, let the recruitment software do it. This will give you enough time to set up pre-recorded interviews, review candidate answers and schedule follow-up interviews.

4. Can be used to scrutinize the social profiles of the candidates

In the recent past, recruiters had to review a candidate’s social media profile and online activities themselves. But, with the advancements in the recruitment software, it is now possible to check for validation of the candidate’s skill sets, experience, and talents expressed in the cover letter or resume. The software is apt to scrutinize the job titles, employer history and employment dates in the social profiles.

Conclusion

In the end, it has got to be said that investing in the right recruitment software can make your hiring process more productive and cost-effective. It will assist you to manage a wide array of talent pool, make your selection process efficient and lastly arranges and tracks applications.
