5 Valuable Ways You Can Improve Your Recruiting With an ATS

Using artificial intelligence (AI) in the recruitment process is possible. But how?

Through an ATS that is making the job of human resources professionals a whole lot easier.

Recruiters have been using applicant tracking systems for decades now. ATS helps recruiters by unifying candidates’ job applications, classifying and assessing their skills, and finding the most suitable candidates for job openings. But AI-powered ATS will enhance the recruitment process by reducing the time to hire, speeding up the screening process, and enhancing the candidate experience. So without further ado, let’s dive deep into the great way an AI-powered ATS can improve your recruiting process.

Make Repetitive, Manual Processes A Thing Of The Past

Today’s competitive market needs a recruitment process that is agile and incredibly rapid. Especially if you want to appeal to modern-day candidates as they become more tech-savvy. This is where an AI-powered ATS comes in handy! It automates time-consuming tasks like screening resumes, communicating with candidates, sending emails, scheduling interviews, posting jobs, and creating talent pipelines By automating administrative tasks like these, recruiters can spend more time on other important tasks and save more than 90% of their time. For example, EVA-REC automates follow-up emails with candidates after you move them from one stage to another in the hiring process. Instantly, candidates will receive an auto-generated email that briefs them on the next step. These next steps could be a video assessment they need to complete or just an email that includes the interview’s time, date, and location! All in all, EVA-REC can save you a large amount of time and keep candidates in the loop – all throughout.

Skip The Hassles Of Scheduling An Interview

Have you ever scheduled an interview with a candidate by making only one call or sending only one email? Well, research says that the chances of that occurring are pretty meagre. Take into account the time it takes to schedule an interview with one candidate. First, you have to arrange it with your team or hiring manager, then you have to check the availability of the candidate at that time as well. Other than playing a game of email tag, you will be wasting valuable time on a task that should be automated. So, how does an AI-powered ATS help with that? For starters, candidates can schedule their own interviews. This method helps because from one centralized place, you can book and approve interview time slots fast and reduce time-to-hire. This method also minimizes the possibility of mistakes through automated check-ins and synchronized calendars. How does this improve your recruiting process? You can easily save endless hours that you would’ve been spending on engaging and securing top talent in your pipeline.

Enhance Candidate Sourcing

Working remotely with an out-dated software with siloed teams. How can recruiters source candidates efficiently this way? Well, they can’t. But, they can leverage an AI-powered ATS! So, how can an applicant tracking system, powered with AI, make your candidate sourcing shortfalls a thing of the past? An advanced ATS like EVA-REC gives recruiters a more efficient way of sourcing and attracting top talent by integrating with 2,000+ paid and free job boards. This gives recruiters easy access to a global portfolio of job boards that target job ads based on industry, job function, region, and job title. The benefits of EVA-REC don’t stop here. It can also get useful job board recommendations that are strictly based on the job requirements. The recommendations could be based on region, channel type, job category, industry, and job title. Then, the ATS will automatically provide you with a list of channels that meet your sourcing needs! With quick access to a diversified set of job boards, recruiters can identify top talent across multiple providers and take their candidate sourcing to the very next level.

Remove Bias From The Recruiting Process

As humans, we are prone to bias, no matter how much we try to eliminate it. Because bias can be conscious and unconscious. But, recruiters usually deal with both and it has an unintended impact on the recruiting process. Since recruiters don’t know about the biases most of the time, they have to be open-minded and non-judgemental. But AI saves us from our own biases. AI is objective as it doesn’t take into account the candidate’s race, ethnicity, or religion. Nor does it accept or reject candidates based on these factors. An ATS powered by AI does this through AI talent matching. Talent matching is when AI technology seamlessly matches candidates to the most suitable jobs in nanoseconds. An AI-powered ATS does this by identifying the candidate’s skillsets and experience and objectively matching them to the job requirements. This means that you won’t be involuntarily imposing any biased decisions. The ATS will provide a matching percentage for each candidate which shows how close they are to the job requirements. Not only this! You can instantly rank the candidates from highest to lowest match – and pinpoint your top performers in the blink of an eye.

Screening Piles Of Resumes In Seconds

Screening resumes doesn’t take time until you have to screen piles and piles of resumes. It’s draining and your efforts will eventually fall through. Mainly because you will forget the candidates’ names, what makes them stand out and their qualifications. With so much information at hand, you will probably misplace candidates due to the abundance of applications flowing in your inbox. Furthermore, with a decentralized resume database, it can be tough to organize all your data in one place. On the bright side, an ATS powered by artificial intelligence automates the entire screening process for you, making it 10x faster. For example, an AI-powered ATS, like EVA-REC, lets you turn your offline resume database into an online and searchable one. You can sift through resumes based on keywords related to the job title, career level, country, industry, major, or skills – rather than rejecting candidates based on race or ethnicity. You can even choose to either include or exclude certain keywords from the filtration process.

Wrapping It Up

Think of the ATS as an indispensable teammate that wants you to thrive and succeed. It will do the time-consuming work so that you can focus more on what’s important. It’s not here to replace you. It’s only here to make your life easier by improving your recruiting process. EVA-REC is a futuristic ATS that automates and improves the hiring process with AI technology.
