Like many other aspects of technology, recruitment software offers many benefits for businesses — but do you know exactly what it’s capable of? Leading cloud based recruitment software provider, HRS Recruitment, talks us through the positives of this essential platform:
Reduce admin time
Administration can be one of the most time-consuming areas of any business. In terms of recruitment, you can spend endless hours on a fruitless search for potential employees. As time is money, this could be better spent elsewhere.
However, recruitment software changes this by streamlining processes. Providing a database of candidate data, details are readily available, helping you find the right person for your position.
Improve your reach
Just like a job advertisement in a newspaper, details of your vacancy will have limited reach if they are promoted along the wrong channels. Many recruitment software packages give you the option to push out your job roles socially. With sites like LinkedIn widely used by professionals, you can gain the exposure you need to find the candidate with the skills and experience you require.
Filter out unsuitable candidates
In the past, locating and filtering unsuitable candidates has involved working through a raft of CVs and applications. It goes without saying that this is an incredibly time-consuming process.
Specialist recruitment software eliminates this process. Filters can be applied to remove candidates who do not possess what you require, scaling down the number of applications in the pool to save you time.
Inform future strategies
Found you have a high success rate when pushing jobs out socially? The great thing about recruitment software is that it delivers useful data about where your vacancies have been most successful. This will help inform future recruitment strategies, ensuring your roles get the exposure they deserve.
Reduce costs
Many of the benefits listed above will help you save money too. By freeing up valuable time, you can commit employees to more pressing jobs. Cloud-based software has a similar effect too. Because the system can be accessed without the need for a specialist software package, recruiters can access it on the move. This ensures that every hour is productive, even if they are travelling.
