When Recruiting Meets Tech—A Perfect Partnership

Leave a reply

65% of candidates say they never, or rarely, receive notice about their application. It’s easy to see how this can occur, especially if HR teams aren’t set up with technology that helps them streamline and automate their workflow. 

Successful recruitment is about more than blasting a job listing and expecting a bevy of qualified candidates. It’s about utilizing current technology to make your recruitment workflow easier for your HR team and seamless for the candidates. That’s why we love Workforce Ready’s built-in applicant tracking. Standalone applicant tracking apps can quickly lead to errors and duplicate information. With Workforce Ready’s applicant tracking, everything is in the same database which improves the candidate experience, eliminates data transfer error, reduces time to hire, and allows you to attract and nurture the right candidates for the position.

Once you’ve attracted applicants from various channels, you want to make sure it’s easy for them to intuitively find and apply for the jobs that are right for them. Remember, you want your job portal to be technologically advanced and imbued with marketing savvy. Workforce Ready allows you to set up a job portal that:

1. Is Embedded & Branded

Align the look and feel of your career site with your company branding — this helps reinforce your company values and establishes brand authority.

2. Is Mobile-friendly and Responsive

86% of active candidates use their smartphones to begin a job search. This is why it’s important to create your portal using responsive design so it can be viewed on all types of devices, including mobile.

3. Able to Filter Applicants

It’s important for you and the applicants you’re considering to know quickly when something’s not the right fit. This lets applicants move on to the next opportunity and lets you focus your efforts.

4. Tracks Candidate Progress

With automated process tracking, you can view the stage each candidate is at, understand if the processes have stalled, and respond quickly to get things back on track.

5. Automates the Hiring Lifecycle

Define the phases you want your candidates to go through and how long you want each of these phases to take, then build the infrastructure for them into your HCM platform using checklists, automated actions you can assign, and notification workflows to make sure the right people are in on the right conversations

6. Communicates Consistently with Candidates

Set up touch points that keep your candidates informed at every stage of the application process, so they don’t start exploring other options. Use automation to keep your communications timely and reduce the manual overhead.

Hiring qualified, top-level candidates takes much longer than many organizations would like it to, especially with the population of job posting boards on the internet – how do you manage your time? As your company grows, your recruiting overhead increases alongside it. How do growing organizations keep these costs in check?

With CorpStratHR, you can collect data that will help you understand the applicant landscape and make more efficient hiring decisions. Here’s how:

Simplified Job Posting

Save time you used to spend posting to job boards and make the most of your day. CorpStrat HR creates an out-of-the-box application portal which can be connected to hundreds of job posting sites, allowing your recruiters to attract as many candidates as possible!

Ziprecruiter Boost

Along with our many job board integrations, a new connection with Ziprecruiter Boost allows recruiters to reach potential applicants’ inboxes through Ziprecruiter’s job alert email notifications. Get applicants who aren’t actively looking!

Digital Applicant Interviews

In the era of ‘1-click apply!’ your recruiters can be hit with a tidal wave of unqualified applicants. Keyword-based application filtering can mean that you miss out on qualified candidates who did apply for the position, that you didn’t see.

Digital interviewing allows recruiters and hiring managers to ask more in-depth questions about the applicant’s background and know-how, without the time required to perform a phone screen.

Applicant Referral Tracking

With time, your hiring decisions and applicant screening will provide insight into what job posting platforms are the most successful for your organization, and how you best reach qualified applicants. With this information, you can focus your recruiting efforts in the direction that brings you the highest success rate, saving your recruiting and hiring teams even more time, and reducing job posting costs!

Built-In Background Checks

If you are hiring for a position that requires handling sensitive data or working with vulnerable populations, a background check is a great way to get insight about a candidate’s history and risk level. Our partnership with Aurico Reports means that background checks are simple to carry out, and fully integrated with your applicants’ data.

Simple Email Templates

When you find the right candidate, you want to make a good first impression! With CorpStrat HR’s email templates, recruiters can send informative, branded template emails that look great and save everyone the work of copying over a form letter.

If your organization is struggling to keep up with the investment involved in making smart hires, call us today. We’ll set you up with a demo that answers your questions about how to equip your business to recruit and manage your employees the 21st century way!
