4 Great Ways Companies in the KSA Can Hire at Scale with an ATS

If there’s one thing we know for certain, it’s that Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 has created massive job opportunities in the KSA market. Not only has this initiative stimulated more opportunities for women and tech-savvy candidates – but it has also driven companies in the Kingdom to leverage an ATS that can help them hire at scale. Simply said, this initiative aims to increase employment, diversify the economy and develop innovative opportunities for the future – all through the power of AI and cutting-edge technology. And just last year, Saudi Arabia created approximately 555,000 jobs.

So how can an AI-powered ATS make it easier for companies in the Kingdom to hire at scale? We break it all down for you in today’s blog!

Build a modern and branded career page

Given that one of the most prominent roles of Vision 2030 is to boost the percentage of female employees in the workforce – companies in the KSA need to make sure their career pages promote a culture of inclusion. Therefore, an AI-powered ATS can help you create a modern career page that seamlessly showcases your employer brand and company culture. And the best part? You don’t even need to hire a bunch of developers or write a single line of code. In a few minutes, you can be up and running! Through this career page, you can entice top talent to apply to your vacancies by highlighting what makes your company unique. For example, you can showcase your perks and benefits, company values, team testimonials, and corporate videos. This will entice top performers to join your company and click on the “Apply” button. Not only that, but an ATS also allows candidates to apply to jobs fast. They can sail through the application process at the speed of light and complete it within a few minutes. Candidates can even apply through their LinkedIn profiles and their application fields will be automatically filled. This ultimately means that candidates no longer need to regurgitate their entire resumes from scratch and spend over 45 minutes just filling in an application.

Post jobs on a variety of job boards with a click

Now that many companies in the KSA are localizing talent, there are certain sectors that are getting more traction than others. Such as communications, IT, transportation, education, medical, financial, retail, and many others. This means that companies need to foster a more targeted approach if they’re looking to hire at scale. Luckily, an AI-powered ATS like EVA-REC can help. Our ATS is integrated with a broad range of 2,000+ job boards. What does this mean for you? It means that you can now make cross-posting on different job boards simple and hassle-free. In fact, you can attract the best talent in the Kingdom by posting your jobs on the best job boards with a single click. From GulfTalent to Indeed, an ATS allows you to lure in local talent through renowned job boards that are proven to convert. But what if you’re not sure of which job boards are most suitable for your roles? Well, an ATS like EVA-REC enables you to get channel recommendations based on the job requirements. All you’ve got to do is simply select the region, channel type, job category, industry, and job title. Afterward, you’ll instantly get a list of channels that meet your sourcing needs. As a result, the ATS will make sure that you’re targeting the best job boards for all your vacancies and leverage a more focused approach to sourcing top talent.

Automate and optimize hiring workflows

AI is the crux of Vision 2030. In fact, research has shown that the Kingdom can double the size of its economy to $1.6 trillion if it fully adopts automated systems. This has driven many companies in Saudi Arabia to leverage AI-powered applicant tracking systems to streamline their hiring and meet Vision 2030. For example, an ATS like EVA-REC automates core HR functions to allow you to focus more on what’s important. It helps you create dynamic and customizable pipelines that meet your needs. Plus, you can create automated actions that enable you to assign triggers to your pipeline stages. So if you move a candidate from one stage to the other, the candidate will automatically receive an email, questionnaire, or video assessment that updates them on the next step. This will help you keep top talent in the loop for what’s coming next. Not only that, but an ATS also helps you automatically screen and shortlist resumes. Let’s suppose you have a decentralized resume database. An ATS like EVA-REC will help you create a centralized one that is easily accessible and searchable. For example, if you have 90 resumes on your desktop waiting to be screened, simply drag and drop them into the ATS, and it will automatically parse the information for you. Then, it will automatically create a profile for each candidate. So in seconds, you can view all your candidates and access their information in one single place. Plus, the ATS allows you to match these resumes to any job description or vacancy that you have! Therefore, making your first round of screening 80% faster thanks to advanced automation and AI.

Collaborate together as a team

When recruiters strive to hire at scale, they must leverage an AI-powered ATS to streamline communication. Given that recruiters in the KSA will need to fill vacancies fast, they must put collaboration at the heart of their hiring process. This means, that teams from different departments can support each other in the hiring process, even when they’re oceans apart or working remotely. For example, an ATS like EVA-REC allows teams (even from different branches) to recruit, assess, and evaluate candidates under one single table. Therefore, teammates can solicit feedback, share comments, evaluate candidates, rate profiles, and engage in discussions that flow in real-time. Say goodbye to endless email threads and hello to the innovative way of communicating! In addition, teammates can be assigned different roles, responsibilities, and permissions on the platform based on their hierarchy levels. For example, managers can be assigned as approvers, to help make workflows and approvals move faster. All in all, everyone will have one single source of truth. This ultimately means that everyone knows who’s doing what and who’s in charge of every task.
