A hiring team that is in sync is the most important part of a company and recruitment software is here to help you do exactly that!

While recruiting software bridges the gap between recruiters and candidates, it is also important in keeping the hiring team working with ease. It’s crucial you know the difference between a good system and one which fails to address the key needs of recruiters: So, what does good recruitment software look like? And what problems does it aim to solve?

  • To make the process more efficient for hiring and talent acquisition teams
  • To provide a positive and efficient experience for recruiters

So, how can recruiting software solve these elements? And what benefits can your hiring team and your company see from implementing it? Let’s find out together!

It Streamlines The Hiring Process By Having A Complete And Updated Talent Database

Unlike some software, which allows candidate data to go stale the moment it is received, good recruitment software allows candidates to continually update their profile information after they have expressed interest in the organisation or applied for a role. This means that your candidate database is live, also up-to-date and always accessible and relevant. This allows your hiring team to easily access any relevant candidate data they need from anywhere and at any time. This makes recruiting easier for them as the data highlights which candidate can be utilized for which job post. Recruiters can add talent pipeline candidates into relevant roles, where you can engage with candidates so they are ready to hire and interested whenever a role pop-ups! EVA-REC is a great software for creating a talent pipeline because of its powers of automation. It allows you to enter candidate data and resumes and even if you choose that candidate, they are stored in your database for another job opening.

It Automates Processes And Saves Recruiters From Doing Tons Of Administrative Work

Good recruitment software will allow you and your team to be more efficient by automating processes and reducing administrative work as a result. HR recruitment software can automate a range of processes, one of which is automatically logging conversations and all actions between all people from your team. This stops the need for back-and-forth conversations between your recruitment team, meaning there is no double handling. It also reduces administrative tasks resulting in a more efficient team.

You Increase Your Chances Of Hiring The Right People

As discussed in point one, good recruitment software means you have a live database of candidates that your hiring team can access at any time and EVA-REC is a great choice for that. After you’ve engaged with members in your talent community, if they seem like a good fit, your hiring team can place them in your talent pipeline, which will mean they can quickly hire the right people when a relevant role arises. These talent pipelines may include:

  • Passive candidates: they may not necessarily be actively seeking out a new role right at the moment, but they may be open to a discussion if the right role comes along or they may change their mind in the future. You can continue to nurture and engage with these candidates so that you can be open about where you’re both at.
  • Silver medalists: these are candidates that interviewed for a role, but came up second in the hiring process. They were a good fit for you culturally, but probably a better fit for another role in the business instead.
  • Employee referrals: these are candidates referred to you by people already in your workplace. You know they will probably be a great fit, but might not necessarily have a free role at the moment.
  • Company leavers: it’s important to stay connected with former employees. You never know when they might be ready to come back!
  • And many, many more!

It Improves Overall Communication And Response Time

Communication is extremely important in hiring teams as they have to give candidates an on-demand experience that they deserve and want. This can not be done without proper communication and automation tools. You need a quick response time when hiring people, to ensure you don’t lose them in the process. Good recruitment software allows you to engage with each other in a way that suits the whole hiring team. Hiring teams respond faster and most effectively in software that has a messaging function for easy collaboration, and EVA-REC incorporates this instant form of communication into its platform.
