Increase Efficacy and Reduce Cost with the Right Recruitment Tools
By Tim Jarrett
For some years, recruitment tools have been giving agencies the means to speed up the traditional, paper-heavy recruiting processes. However, the recruitment industry is falling under more and more regulatory pressure, while experiencing increasing demand and tougher expectations.
In a typically resource-heavy industry, this type of mounting pressure is gradually shifting the recruiter away from the fundamentals of recruiting and plunging him ever-deeper into admin. Because of this, many recruitment specialists are looking towards some of the latest recruitment tools to help ease the burden of some of the early-stage, routine aspects of the process.
Increasing challenges in the recruitment industry
It is commonly thought that the recruitment industry will face ever-increasing challenges over the next few years. With a health crisis still ongoing across the UK, many more professionals across the industry are finding a new way of dealing with demand while meeting increased hygiene standards and social restrictions. It has never been more important to increase both the efficiency and efficacy of recruitment in all sectors if recruiters are going to continue to deliver the quality that is needed.
What are the right recruitment tools?
Recruiting agencies often specialise in industry sectors, which increases the quality of their matches in many ways. Whether you specialise or not, you follow a multi-faceted approach to recruitment, this is unavoidable. There are many aspects to recruitment and many of these are admin-related:
- CV processing
- Data onboarding
- Compliant data storage
- Applicant tracking
- Candidate management
- Skills matching
- And more.
Data privacy and protection regulations have added a new set of processes to recruitment too. With carefully protected database storage now a priority (and huge fines in place for non-compliance), recruitment agencies are also having to ensure that compliant systems are in place.
Finding recruitment tools that tick all the vital boxes, while streamlining processes and lightening the admin load has been the goal of agencies all over the country.
