You might see the recruitment process as a series of disparate tasks. Looking at the process, you might consider talent sourcing, candidate relationship management, recruitment workflow, and social media recruitment as vastly different activities. However, viewing the different parts of the overall recruitment process as separate and independent tasks, instead of as an integrated recruiting software suite keeps the recruitment process from being efficient and effective.

Employee Turnover Reduction With Power Of Referrals

Employee turnover can be a huge waste of time and money for any company. Just think of how long it takes in the recruitment process to find the best person for a position.

Not only is employee turnover time-consuming for you and your entire team, it also results in wasted time and a loss of precious time and ultimately revenue. Read more

Tips To Boost Company Branding & Recruitment Efforts

Should it be “show me the company culture” instead of “show me the money”? The iconic Jerry Maguire catchphrase might not apply to today’s job seekers, who are increasingly looking for corporations where they will enjoy working and can grow their skill sets.

Hence it’s critical for organizations to start off with a large number of high quality prospects. Your recruitment funnel is made up of potential hires ranging from active job seekers to passive candidates. Managing this funnel is not always Read more

Access Control & Delegation Management

When it comes to hiring the best candidates, it is often a team effort. Whether your organization is large with multiple departments or a small-scale startup beginning to ramp up recruiting efforts, collaboration, delegation and proper access control are some of the key requirements.

You simply cannot address all the recruiting needs of your company, even if you would like to tackle everything yourself. The truth is, Read more

Tips To Elevate Employer Branding & Reputation

One way to drive a lot of applicants to your open positions is to ensure your jobs are getting in front of the right candidate pools by pushing opportunities out to talent communities and social media platforms via your recruiting software.

3 Ways To Manage Your Recruitment System

Recruiting the top talent you need in your company is far from easy. This is why many companies, from small businesses to big Fortune 500s, will utilize outside recruitment firms to find great candidates.

Chief among those challenges is the need for controlled access, security and privacy. Even if your company has unlimited resources, it is unlikely you will use an outside recruiting team to hire for every position. Which means when your new Read more
